The Andhra Premier League (APL) 2025 has reached its knockout stage, setting up a thrilling finish to the tournament’s fourth season.
Hosted at the Dr. YSR ACA-VDCA International Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam, the league has showcased seven franchises battling through an intense round-robin stage to book their playoff spots.
The Amaravati Royals have emerged as the frontrunners with dominant performances, but challengers like the Tungabhadra Warriors, Vijayawada Sunshiners, and Bhimavaram Bulls keep the title race wide open.
Andhra Premier League 2025 play-offs: Remaining teams
Amaravati Royals
The Amaravati Royals have been the stand-out performers of the 2025 APL season, topping the points table with 5 wins in 6 matches. Their consistency has been remarkable, marked by a robust batting line-up and disciplined bowling.
The Royals go into the play-offs as clear favorites and the form team to beat with a positive net run rate and only one defeat. Their all-round strength gives them the best chance of clinching the title this year.
Tungabhadra Warriors
Finishing second in the league, the Tungabhadra Warriors have shown great fighting spirit, especially in tight matches. The Warriors peaked at just the right time, winning their last three league games with 4 wins and a high net run rate.
Their ability to perform under pressure and reclaim lost ground during the league stage puts them among the most dangerous play-off contenders.
Vijayawada Sunshiners
The Sunshiners secured third place, delivering some dramatic and high-scoring encounters. Though they had a no-result and two losses, their aggressive approach with both bat and ball often gave them the edge. If their top-order clicks and bowlers stay disciplined, the Sunshiners could well find themselves pushing for their maiden APL title in the knockouts.
Bhimavaram Bulls
The Bulls clinched the final play-off spot with 2 wins, 2 no-results and 2 losses. While not as dominant as the other qualifiers, their resilience in rain-affected and close games helped them advance. The Bulls are the dark horses of the play-offs underestimated by many, but more than capable of causing an upset if their senior players fire at the right time.
