The Dark Horse 3,967 Report post Posted May 3 Must win for both teams. A win could get them closer to the play-offs. A loss and they'd probably be on their way out. https://m.cricbuzz.com/amp/cricket-news/107805/qualification-scenarios-four-way-race-for-last-playoff-berth 1 UrmiSinhaRay reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vvvslaxman 12,867 Report post Posted May 3 If Knight Riders lose on Friday, even by a slim margin of, say, five runs, they will have to win their last game - away, against Mumbai Indians - by about 75 runs and hope that Sunrisers lose to Royal Challengers Bangalore by around the same margin, to squeeze past Sunrisers on NRR (The sum of the margins needs to be around 150, so if Sunrisers lose by 50, Knight Riders will have to win by 100.) For Kings XI, the margins are even more improbable: if they lose by five runs, then the sum of the margins will need to be around 240 for them to go through. That is, if Kings XI beat Chennai Super Kings by 100 runs in their last game, they will need Sunrisers to lose to Royal Challengers by 140 runs. This means it's more than likely that it's the end of the road for whoever loses Friday's game. 1 1 The Dark Horse and UrmiSinhaRay reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PBN 2,310 Report post Posted May 3 Rahul and esp Gayle love this ground. Need to make it count. I'm a bit conflicted about this match...might as well lose this instead of keeping the hope of fans alive for the next match. Tbh, it's the least interested IPL with the WC around the corner.

More than a decent stat. 71 first class 43 List A. But they don't need batsmen.
