A reading of the points table

Good stuff prof. Regarding #1, in that scenario RR and DC will both be at 7 games and NRR will decide. Currently RR is below DC in terms of NRR, so difference must be made up between their win and DC's loss. Is that correct?
Yeah...am assuming that since the difference is not much a RR win and DC loss will cover it.

There are 3 games of consequence to decide the two remaining semi final spots - KKR vs. RR, KXI vs. CSK, and DD vs. DC. Here are all the possible permutations :

Winner			Semi Finalists

KKR	KXI	DD	DD/DC
KKR	KXI	DC	DD/DC
KKR	CSK	DD	DD/CSK
KKR	CSK	DC	DC/CSK
RR	KXI	DD	DD/RR
RR	KXI	DC	DC/DD
RR	CSK	DD	DD/CSK
RR	CSK	DC	DC/CSK

Most probably, RR wont win by a huuuuuuuuuuge margin(100 runs), and kolkata wont win their next 2 matches by huuuuuuuuge margins as well. That makes the two games tomorrow vital. If chennai lose tomorrow against punjab, they are out, as they wont even reach 14 points. In that scenario, if deccan loses against dilli, then rajasthan CAN make it if they win today, even if it is not by a big margin. If Chennai win tomorrow, then they go ahead of bangalore in the NRR table, pushing bangalore to third. Then whoever wins the next game (dilli vs deccan) will push off chennai from second and mumbai will then face bangalore in the semis.

^^^^ but but ... but if my predictions come true that would mean 3 southie teams this year in semis .. if this trend continues it might be 4 southie teams next year and it might turn into a southie IPL :P IPL 1 = 1 southie team = CSK IPL 2 = 2 southie team = BRC and DC IPL 3 (my prediction) = 3 southie team = CSK, DC and BRC IPL 4 = 4 southie teams (after addition of Kochi) :dontknow:
