Thread: Rajasthan Royals v/s Delhi Daredevils [Round 2]

DDD should beat RR, so that they dont reach semis.. RR can be a dangerous team if they come in semis.. You never know what they can do..

and as far Chennai Super Kings is concerned.. they already are in semis..

Chennai Super Kings is not guaranteed a semi finals berth. If they lose their remaining matches they will be at 15 points.

If RR wins 2 matches, they will overtake Chennai Super Kings. DD are already above Chennai Super Kings. If Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kings XI Punjab wins their next 2 matches, they will also overtake.

So therotically Chennai Super Kings could be out of the tournament.

Irrespective of what happens in the remaining matches one of the following teams - DC, Kings XI Punjab, Royal Challengers Bangalore - cannot overtake Chennai Super Kings. MI and Kolkata Knight Riders cannot overtake Chennai Super Kings. So if RR loses today, then there will be 4 teams below Chennai Super Kings (RR, MI, Kolkata Knight Riders and one of DC, Kings XI Punjab, Royal Challengers Bangalore).

all the three teams cannot win their next two matches, b'cos they will be playing against each other.

DC v/s Kings XI Punjab and DC v/s Royal Challengers Bangalore are the only 2 matches between the teams which can overtake Chennai Super Kings.

Royal Challengers Bangalore can defeat DD and DC
Kings XI Punjab can defeat DC and Chennai Super Kings
Rajasthan Royals can defeat DD and Kolkata Knight Riders

With the above results if Chennai Super Kings loses to Kolkata Knight Riders, then they are out of it. There are also other such possibilities. One of them is:

Royal Challengers Bangalore beating DD and DC
DC beating Kings XI Punjab
Rajasthan Royals beating DD
Chennai Super Kings losing to Kings XI Punjab and Kolkata Knight Riders

Actually none of them are in the semi finals yet. Even DD can be out of the race if they lose all their remaining matches with results of the other matches going against DD.

Even Mumbai Indians has a theoretical chance of qualifying for the semis.

However both the above (DD losing out of the semis and Mumbai Indians qualifying for the semis) are highly unlikely.

chennai are through or else i will stop posting

DD score of 150 should be good enough to get over RR. Munaf's last over was the spoiler for RR.
