CSK play-off chances
In this case, despite losing to Gujarat Titans in yesterday’s match, will Chennai Super Kings qualify for the playoffs? Here are the chances of the team entering the playoffs.
In the current season, Chennai are currently fourth in the points table with 12 points from 12 matches played so far with 6 wins and 6 losses. Had Chennai won yesterday’s match against Gujarat Titans, Sunrisers would have overtaken Hyderabad in net run rate and moved up to 3rd place with 14 points.
But Chennai’s defeat against Gujarat has given them a bit of a setback. However, Chennai must win their remaining 2 matches to enter the playoffs. Chennai will face Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore in the last two matches.
Chennai team will end the series with 16 points if they win these matches. However, 16 points will not be enough for them to qualify for the play-offs. Because Lucknow Supergiants and Delhi Capitals are also in the play-off race with Chennaiyin. The teams are 5th and 6th in the points table with 12 points.
Delhi and Lucknow will face each other on Tuesday 14th, and the winner of that match will get 16 points. Hence, net run rate will play an important role. So, Chennai team should win their 2 matches with a good net run rate.
Perhaps if Chennai team wins only one of the remaining 2 matches, they will have to hope that Lucknow and Delhi lose one of the remaining 2 matches.
Meanwhile, Royal Challengers Bangalore are in the playoff race with 10 points from 12 games. They can win their remaining 2 games and get 14 points.
If Chennai team does not win even one of the remaining 2 games, it will be a situation where they will have to pack their bags and walk away. A team with 14 points between Lucknow and Delhi will qualify for the playoffs. Chennai will be eliminated from the playoff race.
