I do not think there should be any problem for KKR to qualify for the playoffs. It will be now hard for MI to qualify. MI's performance has deteriorated drastically not to forget they were the winner of last season. The top 3 will easily go for the playoffs and one of them might win this season I think.

MI keeps on including useless players such as Hardik in the XI. He is unable to bowl and his batting is not in top form. Rather than giving chances to some of the younger players, the Mumbai Indians persisted with him for the entire tournament. And then they wonder why their middle order batsmen are not scoring runs. Therefore a part of the problem is with the team selection. Also, Kieron Pollard played a crucial role in the previous editions of the IPL. He is also not contributing, either with the bat, or with the ball.

@Sithara007 Hardik was in the playing 11 for sentimental reasons, because they wanted to give him match fitness for the upcoming T20 World Cup. Also besides Hardik collectively MI has failed, and at the end of the season they should introspect why they played so badly and fix the issues before next season starts.

Knight Riders claim a comprehensive victory. RR had a good batting line-up and chasing 171 was an easy task on this wicket, but KKR bowlers caused trouble. Mumbai must win tomorrow with 171 runs or more if they want to advance to the playoffs. This is somewhat unlikely to happen, thus KKR will be the fourth team to make playoffs, but we will need to wait until tomorrow to get an official update.
What's a victory for Kolkata Knight Riders over Rajasthan Royale. Kolkata keep their challenges to play off. I think they would better if this squad would no change because mavi and sakib bowled well and shakib maiden wickets that's a record for bowlers.



IPL point table Kolkata Knight Riders is on 4th position within played 14 match where 7 wining and 7 Lost over 14 point . The leading point collector team delli capital 20 points within 13 match played.

After watching today's match now I can call without any doubt that Rajasthan Royals are Chokers of IPL as we have South Africa in cricket world. They have good and quality players, and they can do anything in any game, but sadly they fail in crucial games and now completely down and out with SRH and Mumbai Indians.
Mumbai sadly out as their NRR is very less than KKR.

Now, most chances these positions are not going to change these top 4 already in Play off, and we are going to have last 4 entertaining games coming in the last few days of this season.

It looks like Kolkata Knight Riders will be the final team to qualify and yet another pathetic performance by Rajasthan Royals as Kolkata Knight Riders needs one more wicket to wrap up the match and get qualified.

Punjab Kings played one hell of a game against Chennai Super Kings and the way in which KL Rahul batted was simply brilliant, striking at over 233 and winning the match in 13 overs and third straight loss for Chennai Super Kings and things are not looking for them during the final stages of the tournament.

Today's match was another surprise, i thought RCB would win the match easily but SRH played really well to restrict RCB and end up on a positive note even thought they had the worst team this season.
Just three wins in 13 matches and half of the squad just there to make up the numbers. I was not surprised by the poor performance from the SRH. It is just unbelievable that a team which has players like Warner, Williamson, Rashid, Holder, Saha and Bhuvneshwar can perform so badly. Hopefully they will get a complete revamp in 2022 and get better. What they need in an urgent basis is a couple of players who can score runs in the middle order. Saha scored runs while opening the innings, but he failed when batting down the order.
I some how felt RCB took the match for granted. I never expected them to lose from SRH. They are the worst team in this season of IPL. What a spoiler this match was for those who put their money on RCB.

Although SRH had a very bad season, but they have quality players. And even if some of those players perform ( which happened vs RCB ) and they won the match. It was a close match though, they won by only 4 runs. Jason Roy played a good knock of 44 from 38 balls and the bowlers were very economical. Umran,  Kaul, and Buhvi gave 21,24 and 25 runs in their respective 4 overs.  I feel like Padikkal wasted a lot of balls that came back to bite them in the later overs. Scoring only 42 of 52 balls is not very good.
Run chase by RCB was awful, they didn't know where to position their players in the batting order. Holder and Bhuvi emerge victorious against the RCB in a battle of nerves. Umran Malik bowling 150+ consistently was the highlight of the match, rushing the Australian on a consistent basis. Umran Malik deserves credit for bowling those tight and fast overs in the middle. They ruined Bangalore's party, and they lost this game by four runs.

Moeen Ali is dismissal only for 0. Chennai's batting looks weak from the start of the match. In previous matches, their batsmen have been aggressive from the start of the match. But in today's match they are wasting a lot of balls. They collected only 30 runs in 6 overs. They lost 2 wickets of Moeen Ali and Raturaj Gaikwat. I don't think they will be able to collect more than 150 if Du Plessis is out.

Eventually made a total of 134/6, thanks to some big hitting from Faf du Plessis towards the end. Punjab once again threw away a match that was firmly in their control for most of the time. Apart from Faf, none of the other CSK batsmen made a score of more than 20. Now it is going to be tough for the Punjab Kings, given the fact that they have a very brittle middle order. If KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal can get them to a good score by the end of first powerplay, then they will have a chance. Else Punjab will be out of this year's IPL.

Punjab has proven themselves. As you expected, KL Rahul has scored 98* from 42 balls which supported the team to win the match by 13th over keeping 42 balls left in hand. Seriously an amazing innings from PBKS to move to 5th place in the table. However it really disappointed the CSK lovers to see consecutive 3rd loss in the event though its in on the top of the table. Play offs is getting closure but CSK should again come back to the form and play well.

The most irregular team this season is Rajasthan. Against Chennai, they won easily by batting for 190 runs. In the next match against Mumbai, he scored only 90 runs. In today's match against Kolkata, Rajasthan is batting with a target of only 172 runs. They lost 4 wickets to collect only 13 runs. They have no chance of winning this match. However, today it does not seem that they will be able to collect even 80 runs.

Vaccinized.. immunity level is full.
what's about KKR vs RR match? A very important match for kolkata. If they can't win the match today then going to the next round will depend on winning or losing the next match of Mumbai Indians. So for Kolkata, it is a kind of do-or-die match. They must win. Batting first, Kolkata collected 44/0 runs in 8 overs.

Kolkata has given a target of 172 runs. I think this target is enough to win against a team like Rajasthan Royals. Because the bowling line of Kolkata is very strong. They have experienced spin bowlers like Shakib and Narine. From the start of Rajasthan's innings, if the Kolkata bowlers can do the planned bowling, an easy victory awaits them.

PBKS decided to bowl after winning the toss. PBKS performance is completely irregular. Players cannot perform consistently. This is the last match of PBKS. Even if they win, they are unlikely to advance to the next round. Since Chennai are batting first, and their top-order batsmen are doing very well, I think Chennai will target more than 170 runs today.
Chennai's batsmen are having a hard time to batting. At least, that's what their batting looks like. Chennai scored only 18 runs in 3.5 overs. At least 25 runs should be collected in the first 3 overs of the power play. Gaikwat just returned to the dressing room, collecting 12 off 14 balls. If Moin Ali and Du Plessis do not form a good partnership, it will be difficult for Chennai to win today's match.

First 2 scenario are out of the equation because MI won convincingly last night, when no one was expecting them to win due to their poor form, at least majority of fans.
I really hope that 3rd scenario plays out, it would be more entertaining if it comes down to run rate.
I did not expect Mumbai Indians to have their best match of the season during a crucial situation and when if it comes down to run rate, there is no way Mumbai Indians gets qualified because they have one of the worst run rate in this edition of the IPL.
