The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 playoffs schedule is set, with Mumbai Indians becoming the last team to qualify for the knockouts. MI were competing with Royal Challengers Bangalore for the 4th spot in the table. A victory for RCB in their last game would have seen them sail through but defending champions Gujarat Titans secured a 6-wicket win on Sunday to pave the way for Mumbai's progression while the Bengaluru franchise was eliminated from the playoffs race, finishing at the No. 6 spot.
