SRH reaches playoffs, Delhi out of race; MI can eliminate Lucknow today
Even the toss could not take place in the match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Titans on Thursday. SRH benefited from the match being inconclusive due to rain, while the journey of already eliminated Gujarat Titans came to an end.
SRH now have 15 points from 13 matches with 7 wins, 5 losses and one inconclusive match. The team secured its place in the playoffs by reaching third place. The team can now stake a claim to play Qualifier-1 by winning the last match against Punjab.
GT got 12 points from 14 matches with 5 wins, 7 losses and 2 inconclusive matches. This time the champion team of 2022 ended its journey at number 8.
Now Delhi is also out due to poor run rate. The team has 14 points from 7 wins and 7 losses in 14 matches, but their run rate is worse than Bengaluru and Chennai. These two teams are now the strongest contenders left to reach the playoffs.
Lucknow still has one chance left
In the 17th season, the match will be played between Lucknow Supergiants and Mumbai Indians in Mumbai. LSG has 12 points from 6 wins and 7 losses in 13 matches, the team is currently at number 7. By defeating Mumbai, the team will reach sixth position with 14 points. However, to reach the playoffs, the team will have to improve its run rate than CSK.
Mumbai can spoil Lucknow's game
Mumbai Indians are the first team to be out of the playoff race this season. They have 8 points from 4 wins and 9 losses in 13 matches and the team is at number 10. By defeating Lucknow today, the team will reach 9th position with 10 points and will also eliminate LSG. If the team loses, it will end its journey at 10th position. Even if the match remains inconclusive, Mumbai will remain at number 10, but this will also end LSG's playoff hopes.
Harshal is the top wicket taker
Punjab Kings fast bowler Harshal Patel is the top wicket taker of the tournament, he has 22 wickets to his name. MI's Jasprit Bumrah is at second place with 20 wickets.
Virat is the top run scorer
