Right now, it is very interesting situation as far as the points table is considered. Gujarat, Rajasthan and Lucknow have already qualified. Delhi and Bangalore are having 14 points each, and one of them can qualify to the next round if they win their last group match. Kolkata and Punjab are having 12 points each and they have a remote chance of proceeding to the next round, but both Delhi and Bangalore need to lose their next match. The run rate may come to play after the last round of matches are over. LSG and KKR are having +ve Net Run Rate as of now.
Somehow the competence is between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals. RCB have low run rate and it is to play against Gujarat Titans. RCB in its previous match versus Gujarat Titans lost by six wickets and 3 balls left reaching a target of 170 runs. To win the match against Gujarat Titans, RCB needs to make better plans. On the other side Delhi Capitals is to play against Mumbai Indians which is also a hard fight, but Delhi Capitals having net run rate makes it have a win whereas RCB needs a big win.

Delhi Capitals VS  Panjabs Kings

Today's match between Delhi and Punjab was an exciting match. The way Delhi won the match with a target of only 160 runs is really commendable. Punjabi's collection in the first 5 overs was 53 runs. Only 107 runs were needed to win 90 balls. However, Punjab lost the match by 17 runs. Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel's controlled bowling helped Delhi win the match. Delhi are now fourth in the points table. Perhaps they will be able to qualify for the next round.

PBKS should have won the match, as they were given a good start by Bairstow. Once Bairstow got out, DC never allowed PBKS batsmen to get settled and keep on taking wickets. One reason why DC gave a low target of 160 is that Warner got out on very first ball.
Even after the wicket on the first ball Delhi Capitals continued to score good till the tenth over. After the tenth over the run rate started to fall and in the last five overs Delhi wasn't able to make good runs. Myself expected atleast 180 runs. In today's match a twist happened and David Warner might've felt bad of it. David Warner was on the runner end, and looking the option of Livingston to bowl the first over David Warner took the batting side and caught out on the very first ball to Rahul Chahar.
At the early stage of the match when Warner was out for a duck I felt DC will lose this match and again Marsh was a saviour for DC. None of the batters have contributed like Warner and Marsh have done for DC in this season. Considering this was a bowling pitch DC was able to score more than 150 runs. PBKS gave a good fight till the end but they have been inconsistent throughout this season.

It was a very enjoyable match. The target of 160 runs on such a pitch was not enough to win. On the other hand, Punjab's batting lineup is very strong. Punjab's batsmen have played great in the last few matches. But today their performance was weak. After losing two openers, no other player could play well. At the last minute Jitesh Sharma played a beautiful innings of 44 off 34 balls but it was not enough to win. Punjab still need 29 runs from 13 balls to win. However, there is no good batsman in the crease now

It's all over for Punjab now and it's because apart from Jitesh Sharma and Bairstow nobody took the responsibility. Four wickets for Shardul Thakur and with this win 18 runs win DC have kept alive there chances to make it to next round. For PBKS it's very much over now.

Right now, the Punjab Kings need around 9 runs per over. The problem for them is that Jonny Bairstow is gone. And Lalit Yadav had a golden opportunity to run out Shikhar Dhawan and it was missed. Delhi need to make use of these opportunities, and the missed chance probably cost them the match. Both Shikhar Dhawan and Bhanuka Rajapaksa are in form batsmen and if one of them would have been dismissed cheaply, then Delhi would have been in driver's seat by now. And let's not forget the fact that this is a must win match for both the sides.
Shardul Thakur have given the right break at the right time taking the wickets of Shikhar Dhawan and Shikhar Dhawan who were to lead the team towards reaching the target after the fall of Jonny Bairstow. Now Punjab Kings have lost 6 wickets scoring 67 runs. This is a winning for Delhi Capitals and Punjab have missed the opportunity.

Punjab kings is good with a good batting order. So, it looks like an easy winning for Punjab Kings. At the beginning of the Delhi Capitals innings it looked like score will reach above 200 runs. At the middle order the score didn't come up, and the Punjab Kings bowlers made use of the opportunity and restricted within 160 runs which is something an easy reachable target.

160 is easy target but don't forget teams are struggling to chase anything above 150 at the ending part of IPL. DC have got rid of Jonny Bairstow, he is out on 28 runs and it's 38/1 after 4 overs. PBKS need wickets quickly if they wanna win this game.

With the current situation on league table for me three teams are already in play-offs and now fight is on for just last spot because right now GT, RR and LSG are giving amazing performance and no other team is capable to beat them which is big advantage for them. Two big teams MI and CSK already out of competition because they completely fail to give any solid performance and two new teams doing good job with having top rank now RCB is unpredictable, and they are fighting hard for last spot, but they have to give their best if they want to reach in last four.
Bangalore has very low chance to qualify for playoff round. They are having the disadvantages for their negative net run rate. Delhi and Punjab has a match today. Both are favourite for the 4th rank now. They are in better position than RCB for their positive Nrr. Both teams has almost same chance to win the match today. The winner will get the 4th position in the leaderboard today. However, I think we need to wait for the result of last two games of group stage to know that who will be the 4th qualified team for playoff round.

If Delhi wins today's match I think they will be replacing RCB and going up to the 4th spot because they have a better run rate compared to RCB. Right now the first innings have been completed and DC has scored 159 runs in their allotted 20 overs at the loss of 7 wickets. I am not going to be too happy with this score because that certainly seems to be not enough in my opinion.

Trent Boult is the reason Lucknow Super Giants was not able to get a good start. He is such a good new ball bowler and could trouble any batsman and today he was in rhythm and he troubled everyone and picked wickets as well and gave Rajasthan Royals the confidence that if their batsman can score a decent run to defend, they have the bowlers to handle the rest.
Royal Rajasthan have very good season and in today match they have done good score without help of Jos Buttler which is another big achievement from them and after having very decent target of 178 their bowlers also done good job specially Trent Boult which is one of the best bowler with new ball have completed his duty and remove Quinton de Kock and Ayush Badoni in his second over which break backbone of LSG and after this shock they were never able to stable for this chase and lost this match by 24 runs and now stay at third spot of league table.

Even their play-off chances are still bright, but now it's time for them to have some better planning for last few matches as they are new and already done good job in this season.

Rajasthan Royals are playing really well and in the last match, they had a very convincing win. I think they are surely going to play in the next stage. They have shown really good performance in this IPL and I believed they will at least go to the finals.

yes, they did lose some matches that I did not expect them to lose but the good thing that they did is to keep the run rate well and that's why they are in the second position in the standing right now. LSG has done really well along with GT in spite of being the new team in the IPL.

DC and PBKS are playing an important match right now. DC batting first have given a target of 159 runs and it's not a big one. Good knock from Mitchell Marsh and sarfraz nothing else from other 7 batsmen that into crease. Jonny Bairstow need to play well in order to take his team to victory.

Definitely Indian T20I selectors are having an eye on IPL and if you said is true then Samson may be Indian new T20I captain. But I think he has a long way to go as he has played only one ODI and 13 T20I. RR are now at number 2 on points table and have made it to next round.
Samson has impressed a lot of people with his captaincy skills, but so far he has failed to be consistent with his bat. For the position as the T20 captain, he will face a lot of competition, from players such as Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant. These two are more successful at international level when compared to Samson. All that said, Samson's selection policies have been controversial. The blind faith that he puts on some of the players such as Riyan Parag is very difficult to comprehend. It has meant that talented players such as Karun Nair never gets a chance to showcase their skills.

I really don't know if a player can only be selected just because he has good captaincy skills. Unless he is MS Dhoni of course.
But still, MS Dhoni proved his worth with his batting and wicketkeeping. So only being a good Captain is not going to be enough if he does not perform.

Eventually, the spot will be taken by some other player because people are always going to need good performers. And he has a lot of competition right now. So, it will be really hard to catch the selector's eye without having a good performance to back him up.

Sanju Samson knows how to use Trent Boult. The latter is a double edged sword. Boult is very effective, when he bowls up front. But in depth overs, he leaks too many runs and can be wayward. When he was with Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma had no idea on how to use him optimally. Samson has devised a strategy, where he would ask Boult to get 3 overs in the initial power play, and the sole remaining over somewhere in the middle. This has worked well for Rajasthan Royals so far. Overall, I am also quite impressed with the captaincy of Samson so far.
