The IPL playoff picture is getting clearer, with SunRisers Hyderabad securing their spot as the third team!
Thanks to a rain-washed match against Gujarat Titans, SRH climbs to 15 points in 13 games.
This guarantees them a place among the top four alongside Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals.
Knockout clash for CSK and RCB
But the battle for the final playoff spot is far from over! Three teams - Chennai Super Kings, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and Lucknow Super Giants - are still vying for that coveted position.
However, the real fight seems to be shaping up between CSK and RCB in Bengaluru which transforms into a virtual knockout.
RCB needs a win to reach 14 points, but even that might be insufficient. They need to ensure their Net Run Rate (NRR) remains higher than CSK's.
A win becomes crucial for CSK as well. However, a loss doesn't necessarily seal their fate.
By minimising their margin of defeat, they can potentially keep their NRR above RCB's, thereby grabbing the coveted fourth playoff spot.
Get ready for a thrilling clash as these two teams battle it out for the last spot on Saturday!
