So all the teams have played 12 matches each, and 2 matches are remaining. DC, CSK and MI have almost guaranteed playoff spots, with 14 points or more. The last remaining spot will be in contention for some more time, but SRH is the favorite now with 12 points. KKR, KXIP and RR have 10 points each, but SRH is having a large difference in the net run rate over these teams. So with 90% probability, my prediction for the playoffs would be: Delhi Capitals, Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians, and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
But we also need to remember that there will be no David warner for SRH in this year so who is going to score runs for final stage,even if they qualify for playoffs my prediction will be that they are not going to be a champion side this year.CSK again have a great chance to be a winner if they can face MI with their best performance otherwise all the teams were under CSK for now.
All foreign player leaving the league slowly so every team going to be effected by this not only SRH. SRH need one good opener who can replace Warner for couple of match. Saha did his job perfectly in his last inning. positive thing is Manish pandey came back to form in right time and middle order trying to contribute too.
MI looking good, Rohit need to perform from here if they wanna lift the trophy and I guess DC can upset the opponent here as well.
I have little doubt about CSK if they play without Dhoni. Faf and Imran Tahir are leaving the team. and chances are Ambati Raydu going to open with Watson. Ambati's confidence is down badly atm.
RCB vs RR people.
Would like to see RCB winning here.
I am hoping for good match, both Smith and Kohli hate eachothers on the ground because of their history. but lots of things happened in last year.
And now Smith leading the RR, anything could happen.
PS : Umesh Yadav can ruin the party for Kohli. hope Umesh do some justice with himself otherwise Kohli going to spank him for sure.
