Rajasthan v KKR Preview

Chance table after Bangalore defeated Delhi.

Team Current Chance RR v KKR
RR wins
KKR wins No Result
DD 100.00 100.00 100.00 100.00
CSK 100.00 100.00 100.00 100.00
DC 62.50 50.00 75.00 75.00
RCB 62.50 50.00 75.00 75.00
PUN 50.00 50.00 50.00 50.00
RR 25.00 50.00 0.00 0.00
MI 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00
KKR 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00

It has become interesting! Now 4 teams are in contention for 2 spots - almost equally chanced, though RR making it to semi-finals is entirely not in its hands. But RR not making it to the semi-finals is in its own hands. i.e. if RR loses to KKR, RR is out. Even if RR wins, if Punjab wins against Chennai, again RR will be out!

So, RR should hope to beat KKR, (who surprisingly is on a good run after a good hit against Deccan and a wonderful chase against Chennai) and also wish for Chennai to win its match against Punjab.

For Punjab, it is very clear - either win or out of semis (that is why you see 50% chance for Punjab). It is almost like a virtual quarter-final for them.

RR loses -> RR out of semis
Punjab loses -> Punjab out of semis
Punjab wins -> Punjab in and RR out & the match between RCB and DC is a virtual quarter final.

If RR wins and Punjab lose -> RR enters semis.
If both Punjab and RR lose, DC and RCB are in!!

Tomorrow we may get to know the third semi-finalist or may be all of them.
