zen Posted October 24, 2020 Author Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) RR v MI tomorrow. For RR to qualify: Win all its games (points 14) KKR loses all its games (points 12) K11 wins 1 game, i.e. beats KKR and loses to RR & CSK (points 12) SRH wins not more than 2 games (points 8 to 12) Top 4 in above scenario - MI, RCB, DC & RR .... In a scenario where some of the other teams are on similar points, it would need a better NRR. If RR loses tomorrow, max available points after that game = 12 (so ....)

zen Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 CSK v RCB RCB lost an opportunity to move to the top. Probably played "laptop" cricket based on what happened in the last game (and being influenced by "matchups") rather than playing per the conditions. Interestingly, now both RCB & DC face similar opponents in their remaining games i.e. MI, SRH & DC/RCB After today's game v RR, MI too would face similar opponents - RCB, DC & SRH, therefore One group of matches will involve DC, MI, RCB & SRH .... The other group of matches will be among CSK, K11, KKR & RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zen Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) The 8 teams are now divided into two groups: A: MI, RCB, DC & SRH B: RR, K11, KKR & CSK If it goes as per IPL script: the last games in group B i.e. RR v KKR & K11 v CSK (out but can play spoilsport) could decide the 4th place (if not 2 - possible if one of the top 3 teams remains on 14 as they play v each other and SRH, which may cause an upset) Edited October 26, 2020 by zen mishra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishra Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) On some thread, I said, MI are the probable champs and K11 are dark horses.that was before first match between RCB and Punjab. Since then tournament has come long way forward. I still th k11 has a very good side, so does MI. If tournament is rigged then RCB will win the trophy. Above were my predictions.

Plus KXIP/KKR will have to lose both their matches or be at 14 to lose out on NRR. They don't have the firepower to win it big. That way, RR has a better chance with 4 big hitters up top and followed by Tewatiya. They can better their NRR with big wins. Top3 need at least one more win in their next three games to qualify. MI - RCB, DC, SRH - Need 1 win, Will win 2 of these 3 - 18 pts DC - SRH, MI, RCB - - Need 1 win, Will win 1 of 3 - 16 pts RCB - MI, SRH, DC - Need 1 win, Will win 2 of these 3 - 18 pts KXIP - RR, CSK - if they win one they will be 14 pts, make sure they beat RR and lose to CSK KKR - CSK, RR - if they lose to RR, and win CSK - 14 pts. Their NRR is worse that KXIP RR - KXIP, KKR - Will win one of them will go to 10 pts, they have to win both and be on 14 pts with better NRR SRH - DC, RCB, MI - Need to win all 3 matches, tough to beat all three table toppers and trump on NRR with 14 pts. Pool A - MI, DC, RCB needing 1 win Pool B - KXIP, KKR - Need two wins for clear , but can scrape through with 1 win Pool C - RR, SRH needing all wins, RR is capable of doing it, SRH to beat all three table toppers is a tough script to sell.
