2 important matches today.

DC vs RR: I bet on DC and I am expecting them to recover their form through this match after their horrible performance against CSK recently and RR will get knocked out.
SRH vs RCB : I bet on SRH and am expecting them to win since they are actually performing well without Warner or Bairstow and MI just beat them in the super over.

RR really struggling at 57-4 after 11 overs and I guess that ends their hopes for a playoff spot. DC may finish at no.2 or no.3 depending on the other results. Hopefully we'll get clarity on the 4th team for playoffs within a few hours, in case SRH is able to beat RCB. If SRH gets 2 points, then no other team can surpass them, thanks to the higher NRR.

DC wants to finish in top 2 to take advantage of qualifier ( 2 matches in playoffs ) and so far they are doing a great job . RR had a chance to qualify if they won this match and hoped SRH and KXIP lost but its 57-6 now .

As expected, it looks like DC will easily win this one unless their batting order collapses which I don't think will happen this time around. They recovered their confidence after an excellent bowling effort and Parag was the only one who gave them trouble.

What happened to RR as they collapsed today to 115/9 and could not even scored run a ball. This has given a big chance to DC to win the match easily as they have started well and 15/0 in 2 overs. Should not be much worry for DC to win this match.

Any target of less than 140 in a T20 match, that too on flat subcontinental tracks is a cakewalk. But to RR's credit, at one point it looked like they'd struggle to get to the three figure mark. But Riyan Parag batted sensibly and left something for the bowlers to aim for. Now RR will be left with 11 points with no remaining matches. That means that they are out of reckoning for the playoffs.

Chances is low, I guess Chennai and MI will be top 1 and 2. Delhi is playing the last match today but their NRR is negative which can lead them to 3rd place even after having the same points as MI or Chennai.
Who is going to be the 4th? I guess it's SRH.

Instead of SRH I will bet for KKR now. I think SRH will lose today despite they are doing well so far in their innings. 56 for 1 after 6.2 overs

Same here. SRH is going to be lost today probably since they are not able to make a good scores. RCB may have easily won this match. However, I would be hapoy to see SRH rather than KKR.

SRH does not seem to be a strong team anymore since Warner and Jonny Bairstow gone. Williamson is not is good form (Although he still betting and scored some good run) so whoever will be against SRH they will win the match easily. Like today RCB should have an easy win.

On the other hand KKR has Russell and who does not like Russell show?

Seems like SRH still has hope. RCB has lost 3 wickets. Now they need 100 more run from 61 balls, Heymyer and Gurkeerat is playing good though. SRH need one wicket now.

I thought the match was gone out of RCB's hand after de Villiers's wicket but the way Hetmyer is playing, he became the new threat for SRH. He is even hitting 6 from Rashid's balls. He his playing psychological.

Once the batsmen start hitting the best bowler then other bowlers get the pressure automatically. Interesting match so far.

RCB came back strongly in the match after losing 3 quick wickets and now just requires 30 runs in 24 balls and 7 wickets in hand. This should be easy win and with this SRH would definitely be unhappy the way they started bowling it seems it was their match.

Hetmyer and Gurkeerat really played an incredible innings leading RCB a win. RCB needs only 9 run from 11 ball. SRH has almost no chance for the next round. KKR will probably do this.

Late over drama. RCB lost 3 quick wickets. Now they needs 6 runs from 6 balls. Who knows how they will do in these last 6 balls. 4 wickets in hand. Finger crossed for RCB.

It was suppose to be an easy win after the West Indians innings.

Looks like RCB easily won this one and exited the tournament with some dignity. On the other hand, I cannot believe that SRH could not win this one even after RCB were down by 3 wickets for 21 runs.

Horrible bowling and sloppy fielding cost them the match. All eyes on MI vs KKR tomorrow.

It was Hetmyer and Gurkeerat Singh partnership. I never thought they will be able to have a good partnership like this. I knew Hetmyer is a good batsman but I did not have any idea about Gurkeerat. This match was suppose to be a very easy boring win after this partnership but some late drama or wicket falling made it exciting.

I never thought about a possibility of SRH failing to qualify for the playoffs. Looks like after the departure of Warner and Bairstow, the team spirit is down. Now it is down to the wire.

Let me look at the possibilities for the remaining two matches.

CSK winning against KXIP and KKR winning against MI: KKR will be left with 14 points and they will qualify along with the already qualified teams (CSK, DC & MI)

KXIP winning against CSK and KKR winning against MI: KKR will qualify

CSK winning against KXIP and MI winning against KKR: SRH will qualify, thanks to the better NRR

KXIP winning against CSK and MI winning against KKR: SRH will qualify, thanks to the better NRR

In short, either KKR or SRH can qualify, but things won't be clear before the last group match.

Only thing now we are looking for the 4th Spot and KKR has to just win the match and then their will be no statistics would be required as they directly go into the qualifiers. And if KKR lose SRH make it and Warner and Bairstow would be the happiest bunch of guys due to which SRH is where they are today.

Punjab were out ever since KKR destroyed them recently. It was always down to KKR and SRH at the end which was I mentioned everyone will watch the MI vs KKR closely. Funny thing is that RCB would still be in the race if they won just 1 more match. Tough luck.
