#3 Jaipur Pink Panthers | Current Position - 6th; Matches Remaining - 1
The Jaipur Pink Panthers' clash against the Puneri Paltan is a virtual eliminator. If Jaipur win, they will qualify for the playoffs with 67 points. If the game ends in a draw, Jaipur will have to hope that the Haryana Steelers lose to the Patna Pirates or for the Gujarat Giants to lose at least one game.
If Jaipur lose to Pune, the Pink Panthers will be eliminated from the Pro Kabaddi 2022 playoffs race.
#4 Puneri Paltan | Current Position - 7th; Matches Remaining - 1
While a win would take the Jaipur Pink Panthers to the playoffs, it would not be enough for the Puneri Paltan. Pune will have 65 points after defeating Jaipur. They can still get eliminated if the Gujarat Giants win both of their games and the Haryana Steelers avoid defeat against the Patna Pirates.
If the match between Pune and Jaipur ends in a stalemate, the former can still qualify. For that to happen, Gujarat must lose at least one match and Haryana should lose to Patna by a margin of more than seven points.
Pune will be eliminated if they lose to Jaipur.
#5 Gujarat Giants | Current Position - 8th; Matches Remaining - 2
The Gujarat Giants will qualify for the playoffs if they beat the Tamil Thalaivas and U Mumba in their remaining two matches. A win and a draw will also be enough if the Haryana Steelers lose to the Patna Pirates.
If both games end in a tie, Gujarat will be heavily dependent on other results. They will have to hope that Haryana lose to Patna by more than seven points and for the match between Jaipur and Pune to not end in a stalemate.
Even if Gujarat lose one of their two games, they will be eliminated from the Pro Kabaddi League 2022.
