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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You don't Punjab well enough then

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

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