IPL play-off deciding week..!? Interesting Info..!
This weekend of the IPL series will determine the teams that will advance to the play-off round. With the mumbai Indians and CSK already out, the competition for the remaining seats is fierce. The gujarat Titans, led by hardik pandya, have already qualified for the play-off round with eight wins from 11 matches. So for the time being lucknow, rajasthan and RCB are retaining the remaining 3 places. However, delhi, punjab, hyderabad, and kolkata are the four teams that are battling hard for the 4th spot.
In this case, this weekend, determine it. Two matches will be played today, Saturday. Maybe if the punjab Kings lose this match, they will be out of the series. rajasthan will qualify for the play-off round with 16 points. kolkata will be out of the IPL play-off race despite losing the match. Meanwhile, the lucknow team will advance to the play-off round.
If the RCB team wins the match, it will stick to 4th place in the standings. Maybe if hyderabad wins, the play-off qualifications based on run rate will be confirmed.
Chennai has already dropped out of the series. However, CSK could ruin the delhi team's play-off chance. delhi has played 5 matches so far and has won 5 matches.
So if they lose to CSKA, they only have a chance to play off if they win the remaining 3 matches. That too should be with a higher run rate.
