Resolution criteria

This market will resolve based on the official Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 standings upon the conclusion of the league stage. The option corresponding to the team that qualifies for the playoffs with the highest points tally will be the winner. In the event of a points tie, the team with the superior Net Run Rate (NRR) at the end of the league stage will be considered the qualifier with the "maximum chance" (or higher standing) for the purpose of this market.

If none of the listed teams (DC, RCB, RR, PBKS, MI) qualify for the playoffs, or if the season is cancelled before the completion of the league stage, this market will resolve to N/A.

Background

The IPL 2026 season represents the ongoing evolution of the tournament's competitive landscape. Delhi Capitals (DC), Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Rajasthan Royals (RR), Punjab Kings (PBKS), and Mumbai Indians (MI) are prominent franchises with varying historical performances in the league. Factors such as player auctions, squad depth, injury reports, and home-field advantages significantly influence each team's probability of securing a top-four position in the points table to qualify for the playoffs.
