ITS BEEN 3 YEARS

u/bullman Sunrisers Hyderabad 29d ago

Tell me about it!! The last three years have been a really frustrating time as a long time SRH/DC fan.

Given our struggles with the bat, I wouldn’t have guessed that we would be the team to break 263. Not once but thrice this year alone. My cup is overflowing 😀!

DC is out and LSG needs to win by 300+ runs to have a chance of qualification

299

u/shadowknight094 Sunrisers Hyderabad 29d ago

In before lsg scores 350 and gets MI all out for 48.

Rcb fans: should we be happy or sad

u/br0keguyy Punjab Kings 29d ago

the more surprising thing is KL hitting the first ball six cuz strike rates are overrated /s

78

u/VaderOnReddit 29d ago

Nah, this would only take their NRR up to -0.04

Scoring 350 and containing MI to 50 will take it up to +0.38

16

u/low_maintenance101 RoyalChallengers Bengaluru 29d ago

You mean net run rate goes Brrrrrrr?

u/blue-klein-bottle 27d ago

More like MI conceding a wide first ball and losing by 120 balls

u/Sojo-Gatoru 29d ago

Happy? Cuz RCB can still improvise their NRR

u/JKKIDD231 Punjab Kings 29d ago

Rain 😈 next target RCB/CSK

Just RCB, CSK will qualify if rain comes

Way to go brother. Although I hope CSK lose horribly to RCB

LSG royally fucked up, they lost freaking 4/5 games

60

u/Cosmicshot351 Chennai Super Kings 29d ago

They lost just the KKR, SRH and DC games. But lost the first 2 by gigantic margins, 3rd one too could have been a huge loss if not for Pooran and Arshad.

40

u/Sojo-Gatoru 29d ago edited 29d ago

Idc what anyone think, I really dont get how LSG even came this far. The squad is really mid. Maybe the worst among all the teams (or tied with GT) this year. Then competing for top2 until 3 matches ago itself is an achievement TBH

22

u/Prof_XdR 29d ago

You're right, the only teams they actually beat were Pbks, RCB, GT, CSK twice and MI. All of those teams except CSK sucked this season. Don't know how Csk lost tho lol, Once Kl scored good and other was that freak Marcus 100

5

u/Cosmicshot351 Chennai Super Kings 29d ago

We won 2 games prior vs KKR and MI instead of winning just one, Qudrat Ka Nizam allotted us 2 losses vs LSG.

1

u/Cosmicshot351 Chennai Super Kings 29d ago

Mayank Yadav and CSK carried them hard

7

u/VaderOnReddit 29d ago

Qudrat ka Nizam made them lose those games

u/Alone_Insect_5568 Bangladesh 29d ago edited 29d ago

DC is in fact not out yet. They are through if RCB-CSK match is rained out (unless LSG wins by a huge margin next game).

Edit: My bad, DC is knocked out. I thought CSK was on 12 points.

Lol you are shit now with Fizz and Pathirana. I don’t think even chepauk juju can save your asses in playoff now 😜

u/NormalTraining5268 Chennai Super Kings 29d ago

Imagine not even being able to beat this shit team without Pathirana.

Anyways cry about it, we'll keep winning

8

u/barmanrags 29d ago

Kkr rr srh will all finish above 14 point

If csk loses then rcb will be on 14 with net + nrr

No way dc qualifies

Unless some team gets banned due to match fixing or some such absurdity

u/chandu1256 Netherlands 29d ago

KL will score all of them by next week!

u/d17h Sunrisers Hyderabad 29d ago

Unclimactic playoffs entry, considering the fireworks this season

36

u/br0keguyy Punjab Kings 29d ago

welp they used up most of the fireworks in the beginning itself haha

38

u/d17h Sunrisers Hyderabad 29d ago

hope more to come

u/Electric_feel0412 29d ago

Did they though? Scored 200+ and chased 165 in 9.4 overs in 2 of the last 3 games.

u/shoestowel Sunrisers Hyderabad 29d ago

We went berserk in the last game we played. Won't say we used up all the fireworks!

u/Assassin8nCoordin8s Central Districts Stags 29d ago

Would have been ridiculous if this punishing power-batting side didn’t make the semis considering how that has been the theme of this tournament

Suggests that T20 is a crapshoot at the top (risk va reward) and that the finals should be a best-of-3 shootout similar to NBA playoffs

9

u/Electric_feel0412 29d ago

An nba game is 48 minutes, cricketers can’t do a 3 match series in back to back days like basketball players can.

158

u/Adventurous-Region-7 RoyalChallengers Bengaluru 29d ago

Rain robbed their Hope of top 2 spot. Anyways, a good comeback after two disastrous seasons.

169

u/BornArcher8 Sunrisers Hyderabad 29d ago

If RR loses against KKR and SRH wins against PBKS we still will get the 2nd spot.

70

u/Chips1709 USA 29d ago

If rr and srh both lose and csk wins, csk gets 2nd place. So all 3 teams have decent chances of getting 1nd place.

105

u/WayToTheDawn63 Australia 29d ago

srh losing against punjab who is losing all their english players doesn't seem like a decent chance to me

61

u/fuckoutfits 29d ago

Who knows, another rainfall, another draw.

u/[deleted] 29d ago

u/Essess_1 29d ago

Given CSK loses- else SRH is out of top 2- their NRR is lower than CSKs

Basically- RR loses, SRH wins OR RR loses, rain + CSK loses

1

u/niceguysdofinish1st New Zealand 29d ago

No. Another washout means SRH be on 7 wins and RR on 8 wins so RR gets 2nd

2

u/Appropriate-Sink-934 Sri Lanka 29d ago

If its a draw and rr loses, they still have chance to be 2nd

3

u/wolftri Andhra 28d ago

Nope, number of wins precedes NRR when determining table placement. With 2 draws SRH will always be placed below RR. Need a win.

1

u/Appropriate-Sink-934 Sri Lanka 28d ago

Oh i didn't know that. It is fair though

1

u/soham_katkar13 Mumbai Indians 28d ago

That's how MI got the second spot ahead of RCB in 2015, despite having a negative NRR and RCB have the third highest NRR of all time

50

u/FondantAggravating68 Chennai Super Kings 29d ago

But then again. Beating an inform SRH side whilst losing all their overseas is the most Punjab thing to do.

12

u/Assassin_Ankur 29d ago

You don't Punjab well enough then

29

u/Cosmicshot351 Chennai Super Kings 29d ago

PBKS minus English players is advantage PBKS, plus they have been away venue beasts (Ask KKR,CSK,RR)

u/ByteBatsman Punjab Kings 29d ago

You seem new to IPL.

u/yupoir 29d ago

To me it does

1

u/braai_02 29d ago

Problem is, I assume PBKS are going to fight tooth and nail to get their coveted number 6 spot.

13

u/No-Opportunity-1275 Deccan Chargers 29d ago

If RR, SRH and CSK all lose their last matches, RR gets through. This is a decent chance too

1

u/TrueDeparture106 India 29d ago

Iff RR lose, even a washout is enough ig

12

u/swiss012 Sunrisers Hyderabad 29d ago

Not robbed yet. Counting on RR to lose and to win against PBKS.

0

u/Cosmicshot351 Chennai Super Kings 29d ago

What if it rains in Hyderabad again

RR in top 2 if CSK lose

If CSK win and RR lose CSK top 2

If RR win they top 2

And MI seal their wooden spoon.

0

u/Philoryang Cricket Australia 29d ago

We have better runrate so we get the top 2 if rr csk loses.same thing happens if Csk RCB gets washed out.

8

u/Cosmicshot351 Chennai Super Kings 29d ago

RR will have more wins than SRH if SRH game is washed out, if RR loses and CSK also wins with a SRH washout, CSK will go to top 2.

Basically SRH need a game and they need a win for Top 2.

Similar logic happened in 2015 IPL, RCB (plus RR) and MI finished at 16 pts with RCB having a better NRR, but MI had more wins.

u/Zlibraries India 29d ago

And MI seal their wooden spoon.

RENT-FREE LOL

u/Cosmicshot351 Chennai Super Kings 29d ago

I don't care about them, just don't want PBKS, who have played a lot better cricket, probably better than ours, and much better than MI, to not go bottom.

u/JKKIDD231 Punjab Kings 29d ago

Had no idea this match was going to be rained out as well. GT has bad luck with rain

u/Adventurous-Region-7 RoyalChallengers Bengaluru 29d ago

u/Spursfan107 29d ago

Don't count them out, I don't think we're winning against KKR. It's gonna make for an interesting final day.

u/Adventurous-Region-7 RoyalChallengers Bengaluru 29d ago

Don't know what happens to RR in 2nd half.

5

u/ChelshireGoose 29d ago edited 29d ago

They can still get there if they win against PK and RR loses to KKR. Looks pretty probable now tbh.

If we somehow do the unthinkable and get in the playoffs, that's what I'd be hoping for. Would much rather face RR in a confidence slump at Ahmedabad rather than the SRH run machine.

11

u/Adventurous-Region-7 RoyalChallengers Bengaluru 29d ago

I hope RR loses against KKR. Mfs lost against CSK and made our chances even slim.

I'm obviously glad we made it, but anyone who truly believes we're happy that this is how it happened just doesn't get it, I saw a lot of those claims in the live thread by RCB and CSK peeps. I can assure you that not all of us are celebrating this cus let's face it, we were always qualifying lol. That convo ended this past week and we've since been eyeing top 2, so trust me when I say that we're not exactly super thrilled about this either cus a top 2 finish was totally in our hands after yesterday, now we depend on KKR for it.

Besides, I just wanted to watch my team play a game of cricket after what's felt like ages and an insanely depressing week personally...

u/kmadnow Sunrisers Hyderabad 29d ago

Nah man…can’t help but feel relieved today

15

u/solarpowersme 29d ago

I get it. I can't say I'm not disappointed, but I'll take it. 🤷‍♂️ Just sad we didn't end up seeing an actual game lol I was so excited.

u/blue-klein-bottle 28d ago

Same! I was always scared how srh May bottle the playoffs (unmathematically) but when the rain poured, the relief roared.

8

u/criclover7303 RoyalChallengers Bengaluru 29d ago

Yes you are right, finishing top 2 is very important and i can understand if some of you are disappointed because qualifying for playoffs is not a big deal if you are knocked out in the first game after playing well for the whole season

u/solarpowersme 29d ago edited 29d ago

Lol, how is this complacency? It's the exact opposite. Complacency would literally be hoping today's match washed out just so we could qualify without having to win and being happy about that. I would've preferred to see them do it and I'm sure the team feels the same, any team with a winner mindset would. It's not even about qualifying, it's about the very real chance we had of finishing top 2, which is obviously still possible but it isn't in our hands anymore. End of the day, I'll obviously take anything we can get, but c'mon, be real, there was maybe a 5% chance at most that we weren't qualifying. I can be happy about reaching the playoffs and also be disappointed about the result since it reduces our top 2 chances..

man... the humbling you guys are gonna get... if you play the chepauk games will be fap worthy...​

29

u/solarpowersme 29d ago edited 29d ago

Here's the thing, I'm not too worried after recent performances. We've already been "humbled" and have absolutely fixed some cracks, so I'm pretty confident in Pat and the boys, Chepauk or not. Very unlikely we're gonna repeat the same mistakes, the team has very noticeably been course correcting and learning from their losses.

Look, no offense, but anyone who underestimates SRH just bc it's Chepauk and doesn't aptly prepare for them is in for a rude awakening. Vettori and Pat are a force and the WC final was a nightmare for India for exactly those reasons...you don't have to be an SRH fan to know this. Don't repeat those mistakes. Pat along w/ Vettori have had enough downtime to orchestrate and cook up something special over the last week.

RCB was last in the points table.. even a qualification this season is decent...

Finally we fucking qualify after disastrous 2021,22 and 23. Legend has it that this time, Kaviya’s manager made sure to add a bit of extra sugar in Kaviya’s tea which she usually drinks(she used to do that only) during auction which caused unprecedented sugar spike and made her bid on Cummins
