The IPL 2024 has reached the playoff stage. We have seen some absolutely thrilling cricket so far, with record scores, amazing catches and devastating bowling so you are not going to want to miss any of the action as the winner of this year’s tournament is decided.
Luckily, IPL 2024 live streams are free in India and you can watch them while abroad by using a VPN while you’re away from home. We’ll show you how.
At first glance, the Indian Premier League playoff system can seem somewhat confusing. The sides that finish 1-4 in the league phase qualify. The top two sides play each other in Qualifier One. The winner goes straight through to the final. The loser gets a second chance, going into Qualifier Two. There, they play the winner of the Eliminator, which is between the sides that finished third and fourth. The final is between the winners of Qualifier One and Qualifier Two.
This year, Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore are the top four teams after the league phase. Who ultimately comes out on top is hard to call, as the sides should be very closely matched. RCB have some momentum, while RR have fallen away, losing four matches in a row.
Fans will get to see the likes of Shreyas Iyer (KKR), Travis Head (SRH), Ravichandran Ashwin (RR) and Virat Kohli (RCB) in action at least one more time. KKR vs SRH was an incredible match when the met back in March. It was the Knight Riders who came out on top, with the teams combining to score over 400 runs. It was RR who won when they played RCB in April, but they have lost form since then.
The IPL 2024 final will final will take place on May 26. Read on to find out how to watch IPL live streams 2024 wherever you are.
