How Three Teams Can Still Qualify for the Final IPL Playoff Spot
Today is the final day of the league stages of the Indian Premier League. Still there is one spot remaining in the IPL playoffs with three teams still standing in the race. Check out how all of the three teams are still having a chance to make it to the eliminator stage.
The league stages of the IPL are officially coming to an end today. However, there are still 3 teams which are yet to be eliminated and have also not been qualified for the playoffs. With three teams fighting for just one spot each and everyone of them have a chance to finish 4th this season.
Punjab Kings already went on to defeat Lucknow super giants yesterday which has them to move to the fourth spot. Now their qualification will depend on the results of the Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals match. If Rajasthan Royals are able to defeat Mumbai Indians in today's game they will automatically make it to the playoffs.
But if Rajasthan is unable to win the game they will be knocked out of the tournament. Kolkata Knight Riders is also having a chance to make it to the top 4. For that to happen they will have to defeat Delhi capitals by 77 runs or chase the target set by them in 12th to 12.4 overs. This will also help Kolkata to overtake the NRR of Punjab Kings and finish in the top 4.
Our Take
Although it is the final day of the IPL League stages, the final team which will make it to the top 4 is still not decided. This shows how intense the tournament has been and how each seam is still fighting till the end.
