Qualification Scenario OF KKR

KKR needs to win both of their remaining games in order to maintain their prospects of making the playoffs. They would rise to 15 points as a result.

Depend on Other Results: The results of other teams would then determine KKR's qualifying.

  • With two games left, the Mumbai Indians (MI) are now at 14 points. MI losing both games would help KKR.
  • Delhi Capitals (DC): KKR's chances would improve if DC lost at least two games, ideally by sizable margins, with 13 points and three games remaining.
  • Punjab Kings (PBKS): With three games left, KKR would need to lose all of their remaining games to maintain their 15-point lead.
  • With three games remaining, the Lucknow SuperGiants (LSG) are currently at 10 points. To keep LSG from scoring more than 15 points, KKR would prefer that they lose at least one more game.
