Clash for the top two spots:
Table Of Content
Chennai Super Kings
CSK can finish in top two if they win the game against KXIP. They can also do that if MI lose to KKR later in the day. However CSK can still finish in top two even if KXIP and MI win both their games.
In that case CSK must not lose by 42 or more runs while chasing. If they bat first, they mustn’t allow KXIP to win with more than 33 balls to spare. A big margin of defeat will bring their NRR less than DC.
Mumbai Indians
For MI, they need to just defeat KKR to finish in the top two. They have a NRR better than both CSK and DC. This will definitely facilitate their progress.
Delhi Capitals
For DC they just need one result to go their way. If MI is defeated by KKR, then DC will automatically finish in the top two. However if CSK loses the game against KXIP by 42+ runs or with 33+ balls to spare, then DC will get ahead of CSK on basis of NRR.
