Strange playoff equation! If RCB loses today then 2 teams will get Jackpot

[ad_1]

The match between Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bangalore is going to be played in IPL 2023 today. RCB’s current position in the tournament is the same as Punjab Kings’ was a day earlier. Virat Kohli’s team has 12 points with 6 wins in 12 matches. He has to win the next two matches at any cost. In such a situation, if the Hyderabad team wins today’s match, then both the teams included in the top-4 will be benefited. Hyderabad is already out of the playoff race. Delhi had spoiled Punjab’s game a day earlier. Can Hyderabad spoil Virat Kohli’s team by doing something similar today?

Gujarat Titans have confirmed their place in the playoffs. Now four teams are in the fray for the remaining three slots. Three of these teams have won seven matches. Only Royal Challengers Bangalore is the only team with 12 points from 12 matches with six wins. Today she will take on Hyderabad to play her 13th match. Although Rajasthan, Punjab and Kolkata are not formally out of the race for the playoffs, it is impossible for them to advance to the next round.

A win for Hyderabad would be a jackpot for both the teams

If Aden Markram’s team defeats RCB, then the jackpot will go to Chennai Super Kings, Lucknow Super Giants. He will confirm his place in the playoffs without playing the next match. Because both these teams have won seven matches and one of these matches was rained. In terms of run rate too, both are in very good condition. So he has 15 points. Without any competition, both these teams will secure their place in the playoffs. After this, Mumbai Indians will compete with Bengaluru, Rajasthan, Kolkata and Punjab for the remaining one place.
