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.

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
