Top 3 teams are almost through to the playoffs and they would need to fail miserably in the upcoming matches to cause any big upsets which I doubt will happen. The 4th spot has always been the complicated one.

KKR and Punjab have the best chances to grab it while SRH and RR could grab it of they win their remaining matches. It's really tough to predict in this case due to the recent upsets that JSRAW pointed out.

If Punjab wins today's match, then both KKR and KXIP will be on 12 points each. But the problem is that, compared to the top-3 teams, their run rate is not that good. So they need to win the remaining two matches very convincingly, if they want to progress to the next stage. Regarding SRH and RR, I don't think they have much chance to qualify. Their net run rate is also quite bad.
Right now KXIP is doing very good and look like they are going for 5 out of 5 if this happen then surely their NRR also improve and they have some good edge against KKR for qualifying Play Off's and rest 3 teams already out for me as well because they wast some good opportunities and now just leaking their wounds and looking to do good for next season.

Chakravarthy takes first wicket for KKR and now KXIP 47/1 after 8 overs.

I would say that MI is almost assured of a place in the playoffs. They have 14 points, and the net run rate is very good. Two other teams with 14 points each - Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore. They should qualify, if there are no surprises. Then we have KKR with 12 points. So I would assume that these four teams would qualify for the playoffs. But given all the upsets we had during the last few days, predicting is quite tough.

4 back to back upsets.

-KKR thrashing win against DC
-KXI beautiful heist against SRH
-CSK winning the game against RCB
-RR beating mighty MI

League games are about to finish soon, still no team got direct entry in Playoffs. Anyone expecting any surprises?

Next one is basically a decider guys. So many underdogs have won in this season so far. Very few expected KKR and CSK to bounce back spectacularly though it's a bit too late for CSK now. RR still has a small chance to make it through to the playoffs though I wouldn't bet on it.

If KKR wins, I think they would almost qualify and Punjab is out. Am betting on KKR this time around since Punjab were very lucky in their last game against SRH.

KXIP has won 4 matches in a row, after losing 5 matches consecutively. On the other hand, KKR has lost 3 out of their last 5 matches. Gayle hasn't anything superhuman till now, but his presence in the playing XI has improved their team balance. The momentum is with KXIP and KKR is not doing that well.. so I expect KXIP to win today. But I am not sure whether they will be able to qualify.

CSK is out of this tournament but they can be joy killers coming up with unexpected performances and upsets. If they played the level of cricket and picked the right team rather than giving opportunity to players that are not performing they should have won many matches that they lost.

If KKR wins, I think they would almost qualify and Punjab is out. Am betting on KKR this time around since Punjab were very lucky in their last game against SRH.
Punjab is on a winning spree and after the arrival of Gayle they never lost a match and it is hard to bet against them simply because they should have lost the match against SRH but they were not willing to loose that match and it is the best comeback of this tournament.

SRH lost their last 7 wickets in just 14 runs, let that sink in  Grin.
Let's look at this in another dimension :-P

Over 19.5 .... over 17.5
W . W W 1 . 1 W W 1 1 . W
Panic mode detected....

. I think Pooran hitting our 3 dimension guy Vijay Shankar's helmet was the key moment. It was unintentional but very strategic move from the Pooran lol and worked beautifully in favor of Punjab because it rattled the Shankar and got out in next ball.
Hahah the way he fell on ground I almost thought he has collapsed. Reminded me of some scenes of the Phill Hughes incident. Even KXIP were pretty concerned about what happened there. But it was pretty Brave of Vijay Shankar to stand up and play again. I thought Arshdeep would ruin the game for Punjab but he bowled pretty well. Didn't try unnecessary Yorkers which could turn into full tosses.
He would have been in lot of painful situation if it was direct hit on helmet, fortunately it wasn't. Arshdeep doesn't look intimidating bowler but his line length were good yesterday. One thing went unnoticed on last 2 balls, Khaleel's test match quality defensive shot on 5th ball and careless running on last ball. I know we shouldn't expect much from no 11 batsman but atleast try to swing bat or run properly, ffs you are processional cricketer and its not some gully cricket.
Hahah I don't blame him have a look at his batting stats you would also realise why he hit that quality backfoot defense shot. But yes even a non cricket playing child would try to swing the bat on that ball. Maybe he thought let's just do some net practice for the remaining three balls.  Cheesy Cheesy

I cried and cursed at Hardik every single time he cleared the boundary  Grin and now praying for Ben Stokes and Buttler to take some revenge against Bumrah and Boult or may be include Krunal too. James Pattinson looking too good tonight so leave him aside.

If not then RR already lost.

Having said that, when looking at the bigger picture. I really hope Hardik perform like this in T-20 WC too. Undecided
@JSRAW completes his revenge through Stokes century and Samson fifty what a partnership still not believing they done this very quickly now I am going without any point for today's both matches congrates to winners.
I thought RR would fetch a narrow win but how bad of stokes and Samson I don't know what sort of hurry they had to complete the match. If they were so determined to win where was their performance until now this IPL? I just realized RR has the best batting line ups amongst all teams. Ever their Lord Tewatia is a match winner. They probably lost this IPL because of their bowling. I still think they won't be able to qualify. But it's interesting that no team has a confirmed qualification so far even after playing 11 matches each.

Roflmao. I completely agree. I remember watching him play and SRH needed 13 from 3 balls and he played a defensive shot which shocked me. He got out because he was jogging. Players like this guy are basically quitters who don't inspire anyone.

Stokes is on fire. I think RR could win this one since they are playing like they have everything to lose unless they collapse.

Start is good for RR as they are attacking Boult and Bumrah both Stoke and Smith have ability to change things very quickly for their team and right now same happen if they want to win then surely one of them need to stay on for some long time and keep give doze to bowlers which can give them some good and fair chance in this match.
And Smith is gone. Well, it was a pretty good knock by Hardik Pandya and once again Mumbai proved that they are the killer of death overs. They had a low net run on the 7th to 15th overs but later, Hardik hit both Ankit and Tyagi. Stokes seems good tonight. If he can keep up, they are likely to chase too.

What a come back by RR! MI was having a good score but that have been slow down after Ishan Kishan gone and following by Surya and Pollard. It should have been a 200+ score tonight but Gopal did great job.
Haha looks like the comeback was really short lived. Hardik Pandya managed to bounce back on RR. Now it's really a pretty big total to chase I doubt that RR would be able to do this because they are playing merely for their reputation now. But yes often players play without any burden in such situations like CSK played today so in that way there may be a chance. Smith, Samson and stokes have to play their best game

Fortunately the ball hit the region between the cap of the helmet and the iron grill that protect the face. The impact was secondary. It hit the metal shield first before hitting Vijay Shankar's head. He was in some pain, but it could have been much worse. Phill Hughes incident was tragic.. but these unfortunate incidents happen very rarely in sports. We can't eliminate them 100%.

Lol.
I am completely speechless.
Holy shit!
How come KXIP won the match?
This is probably the upset of this tournament
