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?

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.

CSK vs RR Turning Point of Match: These 3 important reasons are behind Rajasthan’s defeat and Chennai’s victory – Read Turning Point
Chennai Super Kings defeated Rajasthan Royals by 4 wickets in the 61st match of IPL 2024. CSK (Pic Source-X) CSK vs RR Turning Point of Match: Chennai Super Kings defeated Rajasthan Royals by 4 wickets in the 61st match of IPL 2024. Rajasthan Royals (RR), batting first in this match, scored 141 runs losing 5 wickets in 20 overs. In response, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) achieved the target in 18.2 overs and won the match by 5 wickets. CSK vs RR Turning Point of Match: Turning Point of Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals match There were 3 big turning points in this match where the match changed significantly. Let’s talk about 3 turning points- 1. Rajasthan Royals batting Captain Sanju Samson won the toss and decided to bat first on Chennai’s home ground. He had thought of giving a target of 170-190 runs to CSK on the Chepauk pitch. This could have been a good score but the batsmen did not show that much stamina. Yashasvi Jaiswal 24 runs, Jos Buttler 21 runs, Sanju Samson himself was out after scoring 15 runs. Riyan Parag played an unbeaten inning of 47 runs in 35 balls but he did not get support from the other end. The top order of Rajasthan Royals batted very poorly. Where Yashasvi batted with a strike rate of 114.29. Whereas, Butler scored 84 runs while Samson scored at a poor strike rate of 78.95. If you want to give the target of 170 runs to the opposition team then you will never be able to win the match with such poor batting. 2. There was shine in the bowling of Chennai Super Kings CSK’s bowling looked very weak due to the absence of Mustafizur Rahman and Mathisha Pathirana. But in this match the bowlers bowled commendably. Tushar Deshpande took 2 wickets for 30 runs in 4 overs, while Simarjeet Singh took 3 wickets for 26 runs in 4 overs. The best thing was that all the bowlers bowled very economical overs. He did not take any wicket but made the batsmen struggle to score runs. 3. Rituraj’s captaincy innings and the team’s batsmen not wasting time at the crease. While CSK was chasing the target, wickets were falling at regular intervals. But the best thing about the batsmen was that they were getting out after scoring runs. However, this alone is not enough as the entire team would have faltered. Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad was managing the innings and had given license to the rest of the batsmen to play fearlessly. Gaikwad played an inning of 42 runs in 41 balls and remained at the crease till the end of the match. Due to his sensible innings and important contribution of other batsmen, CSK was able to win the match. If even one thing did not go in their favor then the match could have slipped.
