Let’s take a look at each team’s chances:
* What is certain now is that KKR will either be on top or at least joint second. They have a 62.5% chance of becoming the sole champion. If they do end up tied for second, it will be SRH, while KKR currently have a much higher net run rate.
* RR’s loss to CSK dented their chances of reaching the top spot, but they still have a 37.5% chance of being tied at the top and a 12.5% chance of being the sole top spot. , SRH won their match and CSK defeated RCB. This would put them in third place alongside CSK, LSG or DC.
* SRH are almost certain to finish in the top four on points (94% chance), but are unsure of advancement. They could end up tied for fourth with up to three other teams, or tied for third with up to five other teams. If other results are unsatisfactory, even winning one of the remaining two games will not guarantee advancement.
* CSK now have an 81% chance of finishing in the top four individually or jointly. Their best hope is to tie for second place with three other teams, so qualification is far from certain.
* DC now has a 50% chance of finishing in a tie for second, third or fourth place. But up to three other teams may finish second, up to five other teams may finish third, and up to four other teams may finish fourth. That means it needs big wins to improve its net run rate.
* LSG’s situation is the same as DC, and its best options are to tie for 2nd place via a 2-way vs. 4-way tie, for 3rd place via a 2-way vs. 6-way tie, or for 4th place via a 2-way vs. 5-way tie. Given its current low NRR, this makes a big win even more urgent.
* RCB’s chances of even tying for third or fourth place are much lower than DC or LSG, just over 20%. Then again, if they do get there, it will involve a four-way vs. six-way tie for third and a two-way vs. four-way tie for fourth. The good news for them is that their NRR is positive.
* The GT’s chance of finishing in a tie for third or fourth place is even lower at 12.5%. If they end up tied for third, they will be tied with four or five other teams; if they end up tied for fourth, they will be tied with two or three other teams. As of now, their NRR is the worst of any team participating, so there’s still a lot of work to be done.
