theoretically, still every team is in at least for the 7 wins + NRR factor scenario 

Pune have an advantage in that thanks to a very good NRR even after winning just 3.

True. But 3 of its remaining games are vs KKR, SRH and DD, who are trying to qualify .... and K11, which could be dangerous as it has nothing much to lose either

all teams can qualify now thanks to MI for getting defeated in such manner

Like every yr there wud be some twist in 2nd part of ipl. Big players do standup on such occasions n youngsters generally cnt handle the pressure during these phases

 

Strange pune n Rcb havent asked for more replacments for Milne, Marsh n smith .

Yeah. But if you notice RPS hasnt lost badly or one sided. Every match they lost a close match which lacked finishing touch. Just a little more responsibility and they could beat big teams.

Also KKR, SRH and DD could go through a cycle where they are not playing well so that can be capitalized by RPS .... However, it has to win every game so the pressure would be on RPS. If it is defending, it may not have the necessary attack to contain the other team 

 

I would recommend the following 11: 

Rahane

Khawaja 

Handscomb 

Bailey 

Tiwari 

Dhoni

Ashwin / Aswhin

Zampa

RP Singh

Ishant

Dinda

I would play both ashwins. Remove Rubbish Pie Slinger . 

And play one of Thisara/Albie in place of Handscomb. No Six hitter in the team except these 2.

Rubbish pie Slingers= Rising Pune Supergiants and not only RP Singh.
