Indian Premier League - General Discussion

Not a huge score that from RR but certainly something that can challenge MI on this surface. They should not go too hard at the start and shall look to get to this target by the 17th over.
 
This change occured on 1st September. I rebought the 399 plan on 30th of August :p
I see, the thing didn't happen yesterday, rather when they revised the pack. Upgraded to Super in partnership with my friend.
 
And that is some knock from Kishan!! Much need innings from him. SKY scored well in the last game and now Kishan. So the middle order just gaining some form and momentum. Will have to wait till Friday and see where they stand.

Thursday, if KKR wins we're not going through anyway.
 
Still possible. Both MI & KKR are tied on 12 points right now. It all depends on KKR's margin of victory.
Assume that they win by 1 run. They still have a run rate of 0.28.
 
Realistically now, only two teams are in the race for the 4th playoff spot. KKR and MI! RR are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. They have slid today so much that its statistically impossible to even reach a positive NRR, let alone catch up to KKR. PBKS are also very bleak in terms of catching up to KKR's run rate.

KKR play against Royals before MI plays SRH. Which means, they will know what they need to do. If KKR win against Rajasthan, it becomes very tough for MI, although it won't be impossible considering how MI won today and they face the bottom team in the table for their last game. MI will hope that KKR lose by a decent amount, to bring down their NRR as much as possible. I have a strong feeling that MI will make the knockouts at the expense of KKR. If there is one team best placed to pull off a heist, its MI!

If KKR loses the NRR thing would be out of equation and MI would only need to win. That is the most optimistic scenario I can think of.
 
scrape through via scintillating cricket during last stages of the tournament.
It's happening....it certainly is happening.....
 
142 to get for RCB! I am sure they are going to go hammer tongs on this target and try to get it in 16-17 odd overs, to boost up their NRR. But it also presents a risk as this wicket seems tougher to bat on. Dew will be crucial to RCB's hopes of gaining a big NRR boost here. SRH did same like CSK did when we played against RR. Didn't go hard enough initially and considering SRH's form, they probably have fallen 20-25 runs short.
 
Crazy choke that, from RCB! What should've been a 'win in a canter' turned into a tight defeat! :D

Feels better from a CSK perspective, that we're now 99.99% guaranteed of a spot in the Top 2. That 0.01% is if CSK lose to PBKS by 115 runs and RCB beats DC by 115 runs (or its equivalent in chasing overs). Neither of which is even remotely realistic.

AB will probably bat at 7 soon and 8/9 by playoffs.
