Anyway... today's match is do or die for SRH, and not so for the Mumbai Indians. MI can afford to lose today's match and still end up at the top of the table. But for SRH, if they lose this match then they are out of the tournament.


So today Sunrisers Hyderabad has to win the match today but only winning the match will make them qualify for the top 4 teams or do they have to win by a certain margin ?
Also if they win big today, who will be at the risk of elimination ?  The KKR ?
KKR has 14 points but Run rate is not good.
SRH has better Run rate but only has 12 points so its must win game for them, doesn't matter big win or narrow win, KKR is out if SRH wins tonight.

The good thing for the KKR fans is that SRH is playing against the strongest team of the tournament, Mumbai Indians. If MI play to their full extent and do not relax (as they have already qualified), it will not be easy for SRH to win. On other hand, SRH fans will be hoping the MI experiment some other new players today and this will give them some chance to get over MI.

That's right. NRR for Kolkata Knight Riders is -0.214, while that for SRH is +0.555. There is a huge gap in the run rate between both the teams. But in the end, it is the points that matter. If SRH get defeated today, then they'll end up with 12 points, which will allow KKR with 14 points to progress to the playoff stage. In that case, it will be RCB vs KKR in the first eliminator match.

Jason holder is more like power hitter who came at the death overs where Nabi won't really fit that is why they swapped Jason holder in the place of Nabi and also he can bowl some overs in case if needed.SRH batting is the real key to win this match because they got the bowling unit can attack MI and also their batting also performed really well in the last two matches so I feel SRH can make it to the playoffs this time.

Well, Jason Holder is known for power-hitting. But so far in this IPL, he has scored only 31 runs from 4 matches. But his performance with the ball was more than satisfactory, with one three wicket haul and two 2-wicket hauls. Anyway... today's match is do or die for SRH, and not so for the Mumbai Indians. MI can afford to lose today's match and still end up at the top of the table. But for SRH, if they lose this match then they are out of the tournament.

They have Jason holder too. Overall SRH bowling did okay after Bhuvi exclusion. Almost everyone took the responsibility, surprisingly even Vijay Shankar performed with the ball (He's out now due to hamstring injury).

Jason Holder hasn't done anything extra-ordinary till now. Actually, I would have included Mohammad Nabi instead of Holder, as I believe that Nabi is a better batsmen compared to Holder, and he has depth bowling abilities. He didn't got any chances this season, but I heard that Nabi is heading to the BBL as a part of the Melbourne Renegades squad. Vijay Shankar has also performed well in the recent matches, but he is "volatile".

RCB will qualify
RCB fans are just happy to qualify Grin.

Rashid Khan is a world class bowler and even in this IPL his economy is mind boggling which is under 6 while the rest of the esteemed bowlers went for runs and if the batsman can perform well then the opposition will be under pressure if they have to get around 9 runs per over and they will be forced to attack Rashid Khan and that will be the oppositions downfall.

There is no doubt that Rashid Khan is a good bowler. But the problem for SRH is that none of the other bowlers in their squad are capable of giving support to him, especially after Bhuvneshwar Kumar Singh pulled out due to injury. Bowlers such as Sandeep Sharma and Khaleel Ahmed are average at the best, while others such as Basil Thampi have leaked a lot of runs.

SRH always rely on Rashid Khan and if their batsman perform they can win the match.

MI does not need to win this match, but that doesn't mean that they will play casually and help SRH with two points. They may give chances to one or two players who are sitting on the bench, but I expect them to take this match very seriously. SRH needs to win the match, so the pressure is going to be on them. Without the two points, they can't qualify to the next stage.
That is exactly the point, MI will not put the best team because they do not need to as they are already qualified and they will be giving rest to their main players so that they will come back rejuvenated for the final two matches and possibly win the tournament. KKR will be praying that MI wins the match so that they can qualify  Cheesy . SRH always rely on Rashid Khan and if their batsman perform they can win the match.

Things are clear now.

MI and DC have qualified for the playoff stage, with 18 and 16 points respectively. RCB will qualify, either as the 3rd team or the 4th team (depending on the outcome of the MI vs SRH match).

KKR will qualify, in case SRH loses against MI. On the other hand, SRH will qualify as the 3rd team in case they win against MI.

So here are the remaining matches:

Qualifier 1: Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals

Eliminator 1: RCB vs KKR/SRH
For me most chances SRH will be on as they are doing very good in recent matches KKR is going to pay for very sloppy in last few matches so Eliminator is going to be between RCB vs SRH which is any body game as in this season RCB is also done very good job for their fans going through in play off's and now have some good outsider chance.

Most important team for DC and RCB both. If a team loses today's match badly and if SRH  wins tomorrow's match, then the team that loses today ,they won't be able to play in the playoff.
Hopefully today's match will be very competitive and exciting .
DC won the toss and choose to bowl first. Let's enjoy the match together Wink

Unfortunately, that is not the case in today's match. It has been not really exciting as DC winning this match very easily. Chasing 153, DC now just requires 16 runs in 17 balls and 6 wickets left. Dhawan and Rahane both half century has helped the team to ensure they win this match and move to 2nd rank in the table.

MI, suddenly are a different team now, they have been winning matches and creating a complex situation for other teams. SRH has to win their next match with MI but the way MI is playing cricket now it will be a tough one for SRH.

SRH is playing well.. and they need to make use of Mumbai's vulnerabilities. MI batting is quite strong, with Ishan Kishan, Rohit Sharma and Quinton de Kock in top form nowadays. On top of that Pollard and Hardik Pandya are butchering the bowlers in the end overs. However, they have one vulnerability. And that is the inconsistency of their bowlers. Only Bumrah has performed in a consistent manner. Boult and Pattinson have taken the wickets, but they are not consistent.

MI does not care about the match and hence we should expect them to make some changes in the team and rest their main players but for SRH it is a must win match and that means it will be a pressure game for them and their top order should be in top form to win the match and i think the toss will be an important factor and the same situation for DC as they are on a loosing streak, they should win this match against RCB.

MI are not different. They have always been the favorite team to qualify for the finals in most of the IPL tournaments and this time they looks invincible as another popular team CSK performed poor. They may change some of the players in the team for the game against SRH but that won't make it significantly different as most of the players and strategy would remain the same.

MI is in great form now. They lost badly to DC in the previous match. Hope they will be able to lose SRH. But it will not be easy. Because for SRH  this is a do or die match. The match must be won to ensure their playoff. The players will be under some pressure in this match.

As usual, RR batting has collapsed and the burden of rescuing the team has once again fallen on the shoulders of Lord Tewatia. Oh... boy.. just while I was typing this Tewatia got out. Now it is all over for the Rajasthan Royals. Anyway, for now it is confirmed that KXIP, CSK and RR are out of the playoffs. KKR will be having 14 points from 14 matches, but their run rate is quite low.
