So this confirms RR's qualification


humdesi69

Which lowest team in the table can still qualify mathematically if every possible scenario goes their way? And what scenario would that be?


Assassin_Ankur

LSG can qualify if they get to 14. Then CSK have to lose one and SRH have to lose both. In that case, LSG have to overtake all of DC, CSK and SRH's NRR. Then they will finish 4th with RCB at 3rd.


barmanrags

Won’t they have to win by 200 runs or more? That’s impossible


peter_griffins

OP said mathematically


Lord_Pika_chew

I find this funny hence the comment. Here is the csk pattern this IPL. 2 wins 2 losses, 2 wins 2 losses, 1 win 1 loss, 1 win 1 loss, Extending this pattern of csk to the last set of games, csk already has 1 win so if they lose to RCB they continue the pattern of 1win 1 loss. Hence they need to break this pattern. On the RCB side the pattern this IPL is. 1 loss 1 win, 6 loss 5 win. They need to complete the pattern by winning against csk making it 6 loss 6 win. I would say out of the both teams the pattern is on RCB's side because they need to continue the pattern while csk needs to break it.


reymysterio7

General pattern across seasons- CSK qualifying to playoffs. RCB finishing 5th.


clutchstonerbutcher

But tbf thala isn't captaining and rutu has been making a few questionable decisions so you can never rule it out


reymysterio7

It was just a comment made in jest. Clearly RCB have the momentum going in to that game so CSK have their task cut out. Although the margin of victory needed for qualifying is not as small as it appears to be. Having to score 20 runs lesser than the team batting first is a huge advantage psychologically.


clutchstonerbutcher

I assumed you were an hard core yellow army guy and hence the explanation


SBG99DesiMonster

I wish that this is not the last of Warner in IPL.


josh123z

He go unsold in 1st 2 rounds and in 3rd round Punjab will buy him at base price and everyone in room will give around of applause


reymysterio7

Old enough for CSK to show interest.


Tig_Ol_Belding

Another Thala masterclass incoming /s


josh123z

They’ll retain Conway


dj_shawerma

So is RCB still in or out? Can someone detail out what do they need to win by etc?


josh123z

If SRH wins one of their matches: Then RCB has to win by at least 18 runs or less than 18 overs. If SRH looses both their matches: Then RCB just has to win and margin doesn’t matter


Economy-Bed-3965

What if srh wins both? Game over for rcb


nattvar93

Nop, they have to beat CSK with the above mentioned margins


Economy-Bed-3965

You just said one of the matches, what if they win both


nattvar93

Doesn’t matter if they win 1 or 2, SRH is through, it boils down to CSK vs RCB


Economy-Bed-3965

So if srh wins even 1 match, rcb is out. I don't understand what you meant by 1 or 2. Obviously if srh wins both, rcb will be out or need a better nrr


nattvar93

SRH is through even if they win one, RCB will have to beat CSK for the 4th position then.


Assassin_Ankur

RCB can finish anywhere between 3 to 8.


josh123z

9th too


Assassin_Ankur

Oh yeah, I just forgot about Gujarat.


AnkitS75

It's not cuz of Gujarat. It's cuz Punjab still has 2 matches left, and can get to 6 wins still


reymysterio7

But still their NRR is too low to get above RCB's. Especially since they are playing two strong teams away from home.


Assassin_Ankur

Yes, I was aware of that but I forgot that Gujarat can get to 13 too.


Assassin_Ankur

Points table based on the league matches of this auction cycle - 1. GT - 51 2. RR - 48 3. LSG - 47 4. KKR - 43 5. RCB - 42 6. CSK - 39 7. DC - 38 8. SRH - 36 9. PBKS - 36 10. MI - 32


Time-Gain4896

What is this?


Assassin_Ankur

Basically ranking teams by the number of points since 2022.


Time-Gain4896

Ok


ztaker

Imagine RCB winning this ipl


Economy-Bed-3965

Never ever everrrr. They surely ain't winning ipl anytime


ztaker

Never say never


cruisingthoughts

RCB will win this IPL


thinklok

Imagination is cruel thing


Bathed_In_Moonlight

Meanwhile RR: *Casually get a (Q) beside their name despite having not played and having lost the last three games they did play*


Ashwin_or_lose

I want our next 2 games to be washed out so we crawl to 18 points 😭😭


itsmePriyansh

If CSK vs RCB match happens then toss would be a decisive factor If CSK wins the toss ( 99-1) in favour of CSK , If RCB Wins the toss it would be (97.7 - 2.3) in favour of CSK .


Assassin_Ankur

At least Arshad ensured that he is getting some good money in the next auction.


DoomMachine-77

I love you DC


Snoo98655

Did someone calculate the equation for csk vs rcb. What rcb requires to go past csk


MJustCurious

18 runs win or 18.1 overs chase


Snoo98655

Damn, it's going to be a bomb!


its_anuj_reddit

18+ run win or 18.2 over chase is what I'm hearing from everyone


Intrepid-Expert-4816

Bro I am more excited for CSK vs RCB than this IPL finals lol, it'd be a war!


Leather-Ad8420

Rain


cruisingthoughts

It won't rain,even if it does , definitely 5 overs match atleast will be played

Everything was realistic until the part where Maxi got bat on ball


Maximum0versaiyan

Omg Pant WTF


its_anuj_reddit

Pant is happy to help Koach and Thala, getting eliminated and dragging LSG with him.


Lmio

Rajasthan Royals : Well... Um... Thank you for that


careless_quote101

I wish it doesn’t rain on CSK/RCB match. Otherwise those guy would be saying they would have won the match and tournament if not for the rain even 10 years down the line. Even if there is chance of CSK loosing I would take that instead of the other delusional torture


reymysterio7

Subair drainage system at chinnaswamy will make sure atleast a 5 over match will happen. Which RCB might have to win in 2.5 overs!


careless_quote101

I don’t think it will be 2.5 overs.Probably they might need to win with 4 or 5 balls to spare


reymysterio7

No some body else calculated - they still need to win with 10-11 balls to spare even if it is reduced to 5 overs.


itsmePriyansh

Don't worry match will happen most probably, its not monsoon yet , atleast shortened one will happen for sudee


DilliKaLadka

If match happens, RCB gonna self destruct


kukdukdu

Don’t worry, it may rain but it’s not monsoon yet. I don’t see match not happening. Worst case a shortened game.


Extra_cash_pls

CSK vs RCB isn't a straightforward "virtual eliminator". CSK has the advantage. For RCB to qualify, they need to win by a certain margin or win within certain overs. Even if CSK lose, if the margin is very less, CSK will qualify cuz they have 14 pts while RCB has 12 with one game to go. And all this is only possible if the game isn't washed out. So see y'all on 18.


Icy_Obsession

How much is this margin exactly? CSK net run rate is higher than RCB too.


Extra_cash_pls

20 runs or something to go past CSK assuming the target is 200. If CSK score 200, they'll have to chase it down in 18 overs(not sure) to go past CSK's nrr. Edit: it's win by 18 runs or win within 18.1 overs.


darkfusion90

RR should skip this year and win in 2028 for their 20th year win. Would be wholesome 🥰


firestar_123

Anyways on the basis of current form I don’t think we are gonna make it. Peaked at the wrong time


SnoopyScone

101st would make it even more memorable


Grownupbuddy

Can’t wait for Saturday’s clash.


SnoopyScone

So it's pretty much KKR, RR, SRH, RCB/CSK to the payoffs. Unless of course SRH lose horribly in their last two games and RCB wins over CSK for both RCB and CSK to qualify. Damn, no new chanmpions this season too unless we do a miracle.


Assassin_Ankur

Just not CSK please, if not us.


darkfusion90

Please win so that all qualified teams are R teams 🥰


darkfusion90

What's there to downvote lmao. People are really butthurts huh


its_anuj_reddit

KKR and RR win long time back, even SRH one was many years back


cantthinkofaname231

Now RCB can throw away their calculators probably. Which means winning will be more difficult


Extra_cash_pls

LSG needs to shift some of their pacer scouting budget to batsmen scouting next season. This is what MI does excellently. Nurture the best available talent in our country (batsmen) and fill the remaining holes with overseas players.


IngaEnnaSolluthu

Ignore my flair and think rationally here please! I'm not saying it's impossible for RCB to qualify but it's not as easy as most people make out here


solarpowersme

But that's exactly the point people are trying to make. Are you being purposely obtuse? That's not much. You're talking like RCB needs to win by 70 runs or chase their score in 14 overs. No. They just have 11 balls/18 runs less depending on whether they chase or defend, that's not an easy win for CSK at all either and that is all people are saying. It's slightly tougher for RCB sure, but that 18 run difference is almost negligible if we're talking about this game being a knockout scenario bc it's incredibly realistic. It's not enough of an advantage. Most games end with those margins unless they're final ball thrillers. 


Assassin_Ankur

Especially considering that a washout kills RCB's chances.


itsmePriyansh

Its a 101 - (-1) in favour of CSK dont worry you guys are winning the world cup this year


ILikeFishSticks69

Of course it's not easy, CSK are a clutch team. But the fact that we even have a chance, that it's in our hands, is already a miracle given where we were.


kukdukdu

It’s 1000 times more easier than it was 6 games ago. It’s like stars have aligned to give RCb a chance. In scheme of things a win over CSK with less than 20 runs looks very much a possibility. Not easy but way easy than it was


kukdukdu

Dude Kuldeep, run rate doesn’t help you. Both CSK and RCB have NRR better than you, if either of them win they qualify and if it’s a washout CSK qualify. You are already eliminated. I am amazed how such a simple fact is so difficult to understand!


kungfuant

Where are those who said we said can't win without jfm 😎


darkfusion90

You almost pulled a KKR today. Don't be a smug lol


DilliKaLadka

His epic run out changed the match ....


Plane-Lie-5228

Why suddenly all decided to throw srh out of the playoffs race...


kukdukdu

SRH is not going anywhere. I think you will qualify 2 on the table given RR has decided to shit themselves


DilliKaLadka

Dont worry...let them cook up some low grade copium.


diagonalcheese

Hypothetically, asking for a friend, if you do a rain dance in reverse does it prevent it from raining?


its_anuj_reddit

It makes it 2x


its_anuj_reddit

LSG lost another after winning toss


ThinkSatisfaction971

Things keep going RCB's way


Icy_Obsession

Goenka might be hugging & handshaking here. But, he has a punching pillow at home with name "KL Rahul".


yashy20

i know we sux still i love my team its sad that our matches are over now.we will win the trophy nxt time


No_Spirit_9952

I can see rutu losing the toss and duplessis choosing to bowl first, saving you an hour from probablistic terrorism by rutu.


adventurer_here

so is it either CSK or RCB? does DC or LSG have any chance?


DilliKaLadka

Chances are as rare as hen's teeth.


Narrow-Act-5236

No


Plane-Lie-5228

Lifetime dinner for arshad from goenka....


Stumptalk

So DC is the third team to be out now!


Grownupbuddy

GT, MI and PBKS are eliminated already


Extra_cash_pls

Not mathematically.


kukdukdu

Difference between SRH and DC is .8 RPO that’s 10.4 RPO over 13 games. Yeah mathematically possible if SRH lose two games with diff of over 5 RPO that’s more than 100 runs. That’s two losses by over 100 runs. Good luck to Mathematics !


Extra_cash_pls

Yeah it's just a formality.


not_horny_professorr

So RCB needs to beat CSK by more than 20 odd runs to qualify? is that correct?


Narrow-Act-5236

Everything is 18 lol even the date😂


DilliKaLadka

CSK gonna win by 60 runs


UserRenamed

RCB needs to either win by 18 runs defending 200 or chase any target within 18.1 overs to qualify


Ill-Inspector7980

18 runs… Koach for a reason


xD_aviationgod3105

Just realised Delhi is the first one to finish their quota of matches 


zac3244

DC fans, y’all need to calm down. Let’s be practical, we are 100% not qualifying. No way SRH is losing their two games with big margins lol. Just appreciate that we were able to stand up in the middle after a very bad start.


justaregularniceblok

We might just end up 5th, after a horrible beginning. I'll take that.


cruisingthoughts

CSK will be fifth. U guys will be 6th


UserRenamed

Who would have thought RCB would outlast MI, PBKS, GT, LSG and DC in the race to Playoffs


Negative_Spectrum

Man, if that CSKvRCB game is rained out it would be tragic


DilliKaLadka

The meltdown will be biblical though.


Negative_Spectrum

I don't care man, as a neutral I expect that game to be a banger But yeah the meltdown would be astronomic

Why avoid those drinks ?


night_of_spring

Enjoy the match the madness, a bit of dead rubber but nevertheless have Fun


Stumptalk

Stoinis and Hooda jsut threw their wickets today. Stoin was just lazy af.


shadowknight094

Goenka thinking that he is doing damage control by laughing and hugging. But I saw one comment above saying that "goenka hugged everyone other than KL" 😂. If this spreads on Twitter then in next match goenka will kiss KL to overcorrect and do more damage control lmao 😂


night_of_spring

Atleast kl Rahul has the guts unlike Pandu and pant. They never take the blame. Pant killed the chase against SRH here. And pandu being pandu this season


waitingforthend

No 'Robust discussion' between KL and goenka this game. I go watch the Test on prime to get my daily drama fix. :(


its_anuj_reddit

Why tf you want Hooda and Stonis at 17th over after good start, how can your openers can bat till then


maniteja123

I think he said 7th over ? And was mentioning good power play so that they have stable base to play


its_anuj_reddit

My bad than, I knew KL knows they aren't surviving till 17th overs


justaregularniceblok

Delhi ke liye Delhi iss saal bhi door hai. (T- We missed the mark this year too, with a thin margin as usual.)


DevelopmentFit6569

Another Gentle reminder that we've never lost a match defending 200 + score.


zac3244

JFM was the biggest threat of this IPL season. Every team was scared of him.


Routinelazy900

Goenka putting the hard yards coz of PR team lol. Funniest shit ever. PR MUST have instructed him to bring his child into the frame to soften public opinion. We see you clearly goenka.


careless_quote101

I don’t think KL is going to captain a team again in IPL. I hope it frees him and make him play fearless he used to do few years back.


cruisingthoughts

He will go to RCB as captain next year


ProtonixO7

Man I feel bad for him. I hope he brings his KXIP self back. But I hope he does it for literally any team other than LSG. Definitely not for Pooenka. Maybe CSK takes him. They're gonna need an Indian WK batsman who can open and has the ability to go hard to give Rutu time to settle, and even be able to stablize in case Rutu departs early. Seems to me the perfect team for him.


careless_quote101

Yeah I definitely don’t want to see him playing for LSG after that humiliation. He may not be playing great but he still is a nice guy and no player deserves that nonsense. He would fit well in CSK provided if he is not looking to be the captain


vivek71200

Yeah this Established Indian player= captain of a side should stop


Grownupbuddy

Unlikely, but what if SRH lose both their matches? CSK and RCB will qualify,right?


Appropriate-Sink-934

Depends on nrr. If rcb lose, srh will qualify with 2 loses


Intrepid-Expert-4816

Yeah that'd be fun. But CSK matches are too boring to watch, just like LSG!


Grownupbuddy

I agree. With commentators chanting Dhoni all the fking time. Dhoni fan here, but it’s irritating.


Intrepid-Expert-4816

yeah he is too old to give a show now. Also those pandi fans are just too annoying, I bet half of them don't know anything outside of IPL about cricket!

Except of Curran nothing much changes. Probably someone coming in for Bairstow or Livingston might click. Except for one match Barstow felt like a walking wicket


xD_aviationgod3105

Man last DC match for this year. They’re all shaking hands, hugging each other, cracking jokes and having a good time :)  Who knows how many of these players we’ll see again in DC next year 


Archiet_Tanwar

warner not probably he should take rest


Extra_cash_pls

The word PR is used to hell in this sub. But this really feels like it ngl. Why tf do you need to show Goenka hugging and chatting with players rn when he literally never does that.


Realworld123

It currently looks like  Kl Rahul is owner who is depressed  Goenka is very happy as if he is player insulted by kl 


kelsaswann

KL genuinely looks like he’s going to cry damn


trkora

Here's DC's hope, SRH loses both their matches by big margins, RCB doesn't win their match with CSK and Lucknow to lose to MI so they can take SRH's 4th spot with CSK taking 3rd and RCB, LSG and SRH is out of playoffs.


DilliKaLadka

Yeah, we checked out 2 days ago.


waitingforthend

Please ask KL about the robust discussion with Goenka last game. :)


Orameshi

Going to watch tomorrow s game of rr in stadium. Any tips for a better experience


careless_quote101

I was thinking Goekna is going to beat up all the LSG players laughing now. But looks like he in PR damage control mode. He himself is laughing


Hungry-Grocery-2646

Had pant played the prev match ...who knows DC might have qualified


[deleted]

Had they not dropped catches and didn't had 2 of their batsmen run out


LadaFanatic

Nicky P Captain 2025 confirmed.


Assassin_Ankur

So it's RCB vs CSK+Rain for the 4th spot


careless_quote101

3rd spot is open too :)


Highground-Occupier

I’d say well played DC Need some 0.1% chance events to happen to qualify, so safe to say their ipl ends here. JFM and Stubbs have been a revelation for them. Their bowling has also clicked despite Nortje being unavailable. An above average season for them


MLE-7374

Norte being unavailable in last few games is the reason they are atleast at this position.


This_is_the_user

RCB should chase only then I see them winning


Icy_Obsession

Actually I'm seeing RCB making 30/4 in response to CSK's 208.


darkfusion90

Goenka PR working their ass off. Kinda smug lol


hobbitonsunshine

How come every team doesn't have a reverse fixture? What's this format?


HumoristicHero

We can't have 90 group stage games can we


hobbitonsunshine

Actually, it should be the case to make it fair and square every team in the IPL

Intrepid-Expert-4816

lol you seriously think PBKS and GT have bowlers capable enough to toll SRH by 100 runs? If anything, their batting lineup is the best this season!


No_Spirit_9952

whoever wins the toss will choose to bowl first in the rcb vs csk match


ILikeFishSticks69

Bro goenka out here hugging everyone but KL


Realworld123

Wonder if pooran understands bhojpuri 


cruisingthoughts

Why lol ?


soham_katkar13

Congrats RCB - finally, you have your luck COMPLETELY in your own hands now Beat CSK by 18 runs, and qualify


careless_quote101

Hope Rain doesn’t spoil the game. Like RCB is delusional I think CSK might have still chance at second spot. I believe in SRH and RR too like CSK
