CSK vs RCB (Pic Source-X/IPL) IPL Qualification Scenario after SRH vs GT match got abandoned: The race for the playoffs in IPL 2024 has become very tough. The 66th match of the tournament was to be played between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Titans. However, the match was canceled due to rain and both the teams were given 1-1 point. With this win, SRH has become the third team to qualify for the IPL playoffs. This is the first time since 2020 that SRH has reached the playoffs. Now only 1 spot is left for the playoffs and the fight for this is going on between RCB and CSK. Now the question is that if the match is canceled due to rain, what effect will it have on the playoff equation. Let us tell you that Gujarat Titans is already out of the race for the playoffs. Therefore, there is no loss for them if this match is cancelled. With 15 points in 13 matches, SRH’s playoff ticket has been confirmed. Meanwhile, Hyderabad has one match left against Punjab, even if the team loses in that, they will not have any problem. What is the IPL Qualification Scenario after the cancellation of SRH match? Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are currently leading RCB with 14 points and a strong net run rate of 0.528. Whereas RCB team is behind them with 12 points and net run rate of 0.378. A big match is to be played between Chennai and RCB on May 18, the winner of which will go to the playoffs. But if RCB wants to reach the playoffs, they will have to control Chennai’s net run rate. For this, RCB will have to win against Chennai by 18 runs i.e. 18.1 overs. At the same time, if this match is also canceled due to rain, then both the teams will have 15 points each. However, CSK will qualify thanks to a slightly better run rate. If RCB wants to qualify, they will just have to defeat CSK as per the given equation. Now they just have to convince God that the match should not be canceled due to rain.
Good news for Mumbai Indians fans, MI can still reach the playoffs, understand the complete mathematics
Mumbai Indians have lost 8 out of 11 matches in IPL 2024. Jasprit Bumrah (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) The IPL 2024 season has been no less than a nightmare for Mumbai Indians. This season is getting longer for them with each passing match. The team has played 11 matches so far this season, out of which they have won only three. Although everyone believes that the paths to the playoffs are closed for Mumbai, but if we look at the mathematical equations, Mumbai can still reach the playoffs with 12 points. But yes, one thing is that for this they will have to depend a lot on other teams. You will also think how this can happen, so let us tell you how this is possible. MI Qualification Scenario: How can Mumbai reach the playoffs? IPL It has been seen in the history of a season that teams are not able to qualify for the playoffs even with 14 points and this season now Mumbai Indians will not be able to reach even this many points. MI has three matches left in the tournament, even if it wins these three matches, it will still be able to reach only 12 points. Although officially she is still not out of the tournament. This means that somewhere mathematically they have a chance of reaching the top four for the playoffs. Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders, who are currently in the top-2, remain in the top-2 by winning two out of their remaining four matches and Lucknow Super Giants and Sunrisers Hyderabad will play against each other on May 8. If the team loses all the matches except 1, then the winning team will have 14 points and will end the league stage at the third position. In such a situation, other 7 teams will have a chance to qualify for the playoffs with 12 points, which will also include Royal Challengers Bangalore along with Mumbai Indians. Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals have 10-10 points, if both the teams win only 1-1 match from here then they will also be able to reach 12 points only. Whereas Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans will have to win at least two out of the remaining four matches to reach this number of points. IPL 2024: Points table after MI vs KKR match
