After several defeats, the playoff match was uncertain for Kolkata Knight Riders.
Kolkata survived the play-off race by defeating the Rajasthan Royals in a life-and-death battle in Dubai on Sunday night. Eoin Morgan’s team climbed from eighth to fourth in the points table after beating Rajasthan by a whopping 60-race margin.
Even after this, the question remains, will Shah Rukh Khan’s team get the last four innings at the end? To find the answer, we have to watch the match between Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore today.
Don’t just watch, the Knights must pray that Monday’s double-digit rate gap is much larger.
KKR will secure this year’s IPL semi-final if all four equations go their way even after losing and winning this match.
Let’s take a look at the four equations that determine KKR’s play-off fate:
1. Mumbai will have 20 points if Royal Challengers Bangalore lose to Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad lose to Mumbai Indians. Delhi will have 16 points. Bangalore and Kolkata will be at 14 points. Then Kolkata will also travel to the play-off with Bangalore.
2. If the Mumbai Indians lose to Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad to Delhi Capitals, Mumbai will be 16 points behind. Delhi will have 16 points. Hyderabad, Bangalore and Kolkata will have 14 points. There the question of the net execution rate will be considered. In that case, Hyderabad will become the third courtesy of a good net execution rate. KKR and Bangalore will battle for fourth place.
3. If Mumbai wins against Bangalore and Hyderabad against Mumbai, Mumbai will have 20 points. Bangalore will have 16 points. Delhi and Kolkata will have 14 points. In that case, both teams will confirm the play-off ticket.
4. If Hyderabad wins against Bangalore and Mumbai against Delhi, Mumbai will have 16 points. Bangalore will have 16 points. Hyderabad, Delhi and Kolkata will have 14 points. In that case, Hyderabad will become the third courtesy of a good net execution rate. KKR and Delhi will battle for fourth place.
