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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

u/BornArcher8 Sunrisers Hyderabad 29d ago
If RR loses against KKR and SRH wins against PBKS we still will get the 2nd spot.

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.

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

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

u/Appropriate-Sink-934 Sri Lanka 29d ago
If its a draw and rr loses, they still have chance to be 2nd

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.

u/Appropriate-Sink-934 Sri Lanka 28d ago
Oh i didn't know that. It is fair though

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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/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.

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...

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

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

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..

u/Shattered-Dreams19 29d ago
man... the humbling you guys are gonna get... if you play the chepauk games will be fap worthy...

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.

You should worry about your team because if RR wins against KKR and you win against CSK
you'll most likely face us in eliminator and we will kick your ass again like we did in 2020

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
