Gujarat Titans are the only team that has qualified for the playoffs. Lucknow Super Giants who are on 16 points are most likely the second team to be qualified. A win in their remaining games should do it. Even if they lost the remaining 2 matches, they can possibly go through as well. The case is the same more or less with Rajasthan Royals, thanks to their superior run rate.
Royal Challengers Bangalore with a tough loss last night has slimmed their chances. A win in the remaining game might not be sufficient as the team has a lower NRR. Delhi Capitals with superior NRR will surely be qualified if they win the remaining two matches. The same is the case with Punjab Kings. Sunrisers Hyderabad needs to win 3 in 3. They have to win at least one match with a huge margin to snub the other teams.
KKR’s hopes are only mathematically possible. Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians stand eliminated.
