Who can enter the last playoff location?
There is also a playoff location. The Mumbai Indians (14 points), Delhi Capital (13 points) and Lucknow Super Giants (10 points) are still in the game.
Key upcoming competitions:
- Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capital – Wednesday, May 21
If the Mumbai Indians win, they will be the fourth favorite.
If the Delhi capital loses, they will be eliminated.
What LSG needs:
- LSG must win all the remaining 3 games (versus SRH, GT, RCB) to reach 16 points.
- PBK had to beat DC and MI, so PBK won 14 points.
- DC had to beat MI, so DC ended with 15 points.
- LSGs must lead in points because their net run rate (-0.469) is much lower than MI (+1.156).
