qualification and ranking are independent .... rankings add up to 100% 

 

For a top 2 finish chances per this simulation, simply add up % in rank 1 & 2 :dontknow: 


He explained a few posts earlier, the second table is calculated by how individual matches go.  If today’s match goes to DC, Mumbai is less probable to go no.  1  (9%) and more probable to go no. 2 (38%). If DC loses, MI is more probable to go to no. 1 (20%) and less probable to go to no. 2 (29%). This is calculated on how other matches go.  If all fans want MI to top the table, pray that KXIP wins today, big!

I know how the tables work by looking at them :lol:
 

Wolves top the table on their strength .... Other teams have their own luck and form. If they play better, no issues if they top the table :dontknow:

Seriously MI fans are worse than CSK fans here. My full support is for DC from now


Ok so MI fans are worse because they do not want to depend upon other teams for their team’s benefit (and want to top the table on their own merit) :hmm:

I have tweaked the simulation to be W/L only (ignores point sharing even if that is possible) and BEST-case scenario for each team. So, that means they will (when points are tied) are going to have the best NRR. For eg. if there are 3 teams with the highest points at the end of a single scenario, all 3 will be ranked 1, although in reality, only the one with the highest NRR will be.

If KXIP continues to win the remaining matches, they are 85% guaranteed to be in the top 4 (regardless of NRR vs other teams) and 99.9% in the top 4 if they increase NRR enough. There are still a few scenarios that can happen where KXIP wins all remaining and still not make it, but that can only happen due to bad NRR(not likely if you're winning all).

Unless something magical happens, RCB beats KKR today and here is how the table will look like:

:csk: qualification chance increased from 7.59 to 8.5% without even playing :woot:

More important is which teams are moving towards their peak (would change with form): 

 

  • Playing at peak: DC & K11 .... so could falter if not careful 
  • Almost at peak but with little more in tank: RCB .... so can still do better if more of its players click 
  • Yet to peak: MI (though still winning) & RR (a couple of weak players in it have the ability to sink it)  .... these two could get double dangerous if they hit their strides 
  • Inconsistent: CSK, KKR & SRH (need big improvements and motivation to turn things around)

The ranks 1 to 8 are assuming NRR is not hinderance, so if there are 2 teams tied with the highest points, both will be rank 1. In reality, only 1 will be rank 1 and another will be rank 2.

 

i can expand the tables to have both “best case rank1” and “worst case rank 1” (and same for all ranks) so you can see how NRR could impact the possibilities.

Yes because RCB beat KKr, thus lowering KKR’s possibilities for qualification, which increased KXIP’s (and likely others) chances without playing.

If RR wins tomorrow, CSK's chances will drop slightly

But if SRH wins, CSK's chances go up slightly
