They could still lose to SRH and win 3 and still be in a good shape to qualify (assuming good NRR obviously) Mariyam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poi Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 For tomorrow -- if CSK beats MI: there is still a possibility that they can be top2. And if they lose tomorrow, they can still be in the playoffs, believe it or not. --------- If CSK gets defeated by MI: there are 808 scenarios where CSK can still qualify if they have higher NRR.

poi Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) If KKR and KXIP win tomorrow, the possibilities will look: If KKR and SRH win tomorrow: If DC and KXIP win: DC pretty much secures the top2 spot and is 100% guaranteed to be in the playoff(in win/lost scenarios) If DC and SRH win: Edited October 23, 2020 by poi coffee_rules and speedheat 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee_rules Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Thanks @poi CSK still has some chances. Hoping for a DC and KXIP win today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan AF Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 This thread reeks of desperation. CSK and RR (the original spot fixing kedis) are more or less gone. Make your peace with it. The 4th place is a 3 way battle between KXIP, SRH and KKR. IMO, At this point KKR & SRH are too weak a side to make it to the playoffs as they will be cannon fodder for the top 3 teams.

poi Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 Some scenarios, if RR wins: mathematically, CSK chances go to nil in win/loss scenario. The top 3 are literally tied in all aspects. If MI wins: The Dark Horse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poi Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 The 4th place race seems to have heat up with KXIP beating KKR, while the top2 teams are basically toss-ups. NRR could be the deciding factor, so finally I've factored that into my possibilities tables.

coffee_rules Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 @poi I know you had earlier explained best/worst case scenarios. Is it based on NRR being good/bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it based on NRR being good/bad? The "best case" scenarios are where NRR does not matter for each team, so if there are 3 teams tied at the top with 16 points, all 3 will be given "rank1". Conversely, in the "worst case" scenarios, if 3 teams are tied in the bottom with 8 points, all 3 will be given "rank8". In reality, obviously, the NRR will have an impact. For example, KKR and KXIP are both 12 points, but KXIP has much better NRR than KKR, so KXIP should be ranked higher than KKR. Not sure if I've answered your question, but for now with the NRR-based scenario, it is safe to look at that. The best/worst case tables are "what if NRR was better/worse". There are still few matches left for each team, so huge wins/losses could impact the NRR. Edited October 27, 2020 by poi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With their current NRR it gets better with wins, trying to factor NRR is tough as you will not know how big or small wins are. Considering this is the end, big wins will be rare like MI vs CSK recent one of 10 wkts, other matches will be lot closer as they play safe. In today’s match KXIP improved from -0.1 to -0.05 with a 19th over chase of 150. Expect most matches like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poi Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 If KXIP wins tomorrow, given their NRR, they're almost 90% into the playoffs. And at this point, MI is in top2 given their NRR. If RR beats KXIP, their chances match with the rest of the (lower end of) playoff hopefuls: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poi Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 If MI and SRH win over the weekend: assuming the NRRs do not change much, the top2 spot will be a tossup between DC and RCB based on their head to head match. If MI and RCB win: they should be top2. If DC and SRH win: MI will still be in top2 If DC and RCB win: This year's IPL qualification and top2 will likely involve NRR. MI is surely top2, even if they lose, but DC and RCB will have to either win all or at least try to beat another team's NRR. They're both very close.

poi Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 @The Dark Horse Not much to do given the win/loss scenarios are down to just 8 (from millions a month ago), but if KXIP beats CSK, they're in given the NRR. But if CSK beats KXIP, things could get interesting. The Dark Horse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
