Yes, but the problem is that RCB play the final game. So, they know exactly what is required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If team X has a higher NRR than team Y, the only way for team Y to improve (to whatever degree) its NRR is by winning the game.

Yes, but if RR win by a decent margin and MI lose, RCB can qualify even if they lose against GT by a not so large margin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not done any calculations but for e.g. by roughly looking at NRR difference, if the score is in 170-190 range, a team like RR can go ahead by winning by around 15 runs.

zen Posted May 22, 2023 Author Share Posted May 22, 2023 Overall, I would say this is a competitive top 4: GT: played some amazing all round cricket CSK: its batting was entertaining LSG: interesting off field encounters and some good defending performances on field MI: the batting clicked esp. while chasing The two royals competed well but have only themselves to blame for some lame losses. KKR was hot or cold. PK failed to measure up when it counted. DC & SRH went missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
