LSG’s narrow 1 run win vs. KKR officially knocked the two-time champions out of the playoff race on Saturday and guaranteed lsg Third in the points table.
Three teams have now made it to the last four. The remaining one berth will go to either of the two rcb, MI Or rr,
TOI’s Shankar Raghuraman does the number crunching to determine all the possible scenarios in 10 points on Sunday morning, May 21:
The equation is now simple:
1) Regardless of the outcome of Sunday’s game, GT will finish first Chennai Super Kings Second and LSG third.
2) The race for the fourth slot is between RCB, MI and RR.
3) If either RCB or MI wins, RR will be out of the race.
4) If both win, they will be tied on 16 points and NRR will decide the result. In such a situation, RCB will have a big advantage. Even if RCB score 220 and win by just 1 run, MI need to win by 78 runs (if they also bat first and score 220) to equal RCB’s NRR Will be
5) If either RCB or Mumbai wins, that team will be the fourth play-off qualifier.
6) If both lose, the fourth spot will be decided by NRR between RCB and RR (MI will be out of contention on NRR). So far RCB has the better NRR. But even if they bat first, score 180 and lose with only three balls to spare, their NRR will drop to 0.147, just below RR’s 0.148. Similarly, if they chase down 180 and fall short of just six runs, their NRR will drop below the RR.
7) KKR will remain at the seventh position.
8) If SRH lost to MI, BKS ranked eighth, DC Ninth and SRH tenth.
9) If SRH beat MI, then the eighth and ninth places will be decided by NRR between PBKS and SRH, with the former having the advantage in position, and DC remaining last.
10) We will not know the fourth qualifier till the last league game between RCB and GT.
