coffee_rules Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Next 3 matches for MI: DC, RR and SRH - possibly win all three and with 8 wins - 16 points can qualify KKR: PBKS, SRH and RR - If they win all three, they go to playoffs with better NRR. But, KKR can lose to one or even two of these teams. MI has a better chance to qualify than KKR CSK has already qualified DC to play 3 tough matches - MI. CSK and RCB . They can beat RCB and they are through or don't lose badly and still maintain good NRR RCB has to play PBKS, SRH and DC. They need 1 win to qualify RR and PBKS are practically out , even if they win all three (one of them is against each pther) they can qualify if other teams lose all their matches. very tough math Mariyam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the practical scenario, I expect RCB to win at least one more of the remaining 3 games. With 8 or more wins, NRR is not likely to be an issue at this point … CSK and DC in with 8 or more wins already in the bag … B/w KKR and MI, the one that blinks will miss out. coffee_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuarantineTormentino Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Very tough to call at the moment, at this point it looks to me like CSK, DC, KKR and MI will make the semis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR also performs well and has a good record against them. The only team they have a good chance of beating is SRH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivek92 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 10 hours ago, coffee_rules said: I will pick CSK, DC, RCB and Mi on current form and standings How have you picked MI over KKR on current form. Think the massive difference in NRR, tilts the favour to KKR. BTW no idea how RCB is in such a good position, such a up and down side.

Pollard and Pandya have revived their form from the PBKS match, they are on an upsurge. Only SKY and Kishen to come to party. They always prop themselves up late in some season , like in 2017 and win the trophy as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffee_rules Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 51: RR v MI: MI gets to 12, but NRR is still negative. If RR wins they get closer to KKR. 52: RCB v SRH: Inconsequential , but if RCB wins they can get past CSK for 2nd place 53: CSK v PBKS: CSK for sure, PBKS is horrible. 54: KKR v RR: QFs for both, winner will be the 4th place 55: MI v SRH: If RR wins, MI will have to win against SRH in a relatively lesser margin to beat NRR. If KKR wins MI is out (NRR is hard to beat even if MI wins) 56: RCB v DC: Place for No.2 Pick yout wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
