A reading of the points table

Currently the points table looks like this... opppvc.png Now, with respect to semifinal berth, here is the scenario... Mumbai - In Delhi - need to win 2/3 Bangalore - need to win 2/3 Rajasthan - need to win 2/2 Chennai - need to win 3/3 Kolkata - need to win 3/3 Deccan - need to win 3/3 Punjab - out. So basically, only Dehli and Bangalore can afford to lose a game and still make it to the semis.. Now the game today is Deccan v Bangalore, and the game tomorrow is Mumbai v Delhi.. If Bangalore loses today, and Mumbai wins tomorrow, we will have a scenario where every single game in the ipl can be a knockout game. :omg:
I find it very "highly" coincidental that Bangalore and Delhi lost to make all remaining matches of the IPL interesting till the last match (almost). I think the results have been engineered!

For the semis, it's basically b/w 2 sides each from the following two groups: Group A: MI, RR, BRC and KKR. MI has qualified so one from the other 3. RR will have to win both its games as it has a poor NRR. KKR can squeeze in if BRC loses both its games and if it has a better NRR than RR. Group B: DD, DC, CSK and K11. K11 is basically out so 2 from the other 3. To filter it down: Grp A: MI + 1 from RR, BRC and KKR. Grp B: 2 from DD, DC and CSK * Ofc the equation changes if K11 and DD win both their remaining games, in which case the above groups may not work :P
