I6MTW Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Or the playoffs entirely? It avoids any fluke wins where the team is good on their day and rewards consistency and the better team. Recent examples were MI in 17 and 19, and KXIP in 14. And KKR beating DC last year was also a fluke. RR would also have fared better in a BO3. Most sports follow either a BO3, BO5, or BO7 format, with football having a two leg format. Cricket should also have something similar. Even in intl tournaments. raki05 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 No. Eliminator, Qualifier 2 and the final are the only games where our players get to play under knock out pressure. It should remain that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bahadur_billa Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 No. That's why we call them knockouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it's not easy for teams to put in their best performance game after game. I find the qualifier to be a bit gimmicky. Why not have semi finals instead with #1 team playing #4 in one game and #3 and #4 battle it out in the other semi final? Sgattick10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Fortunately no upset in the final in 2022 … The team that topped the group easily, & won qualifier 1 in style also won the final GT beat (smashed) RR, the 2nd best team in the competition, 3-0 -> once in league stage (only game), then in Q1, and the final.

zen Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 As for the question, no. The format is in place after a lot of learnings. The top two teams gets rewarded with a qualifier for winning and being runners up in a tough round robin group stage, where you have to play well to come at the top. 3-4 have to go through a normal knockout game. After the qualifier 1, it is knockout biz as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
