The ‘war’ of the playoff reached a very exciting turn in the IPL, Punjab still has a chance, know the figures

PBKS Playoff Stats: This season of IPL (IPL 2021) has become very exciting now. Some teams have qualified for the playoffs, while some teams are fighting for the playoffs. Currently, the teams of Delhi (DC), Chennai (CSK) and Bangalore (RCB) have made it to the playoffs, but there is a tough competition between many teams for the fourth number. One of them is Punjab Kings (PBKS), whose hopes rest on the next match. Today we will tell you how the Punjab team can be successful in making it to the playoffs.

Know how Punjab can reach the playoffs?
KL Rahul-led Punjab Kings still have a chance to reach the playoffs of IPL 2021. For this, the team of Punjab will have to win their last league match against Chennai Super Kings by a big margin and hope that the result of other teams will also be according to their side. Punjab suffered a defeat at the hands of Royal Challengers Bangalore on Sunday, which dealt a big blow to their playoff campaign. However, Punjab’s team can no longer score more than 12 points and will have to depend on each other to qualify for the playoffs.

Apart from winning their last match, Punjab will have to hope that no other team can get more than 12 points. In such a situation, Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals will have to win one match each in their remaining two matches, while Kolkata Knight Riders will have to face defeat. A better position for Punjab would be that Mumbai wins against Rajasthan but loses against Hyderabad, while Rajasthan loses against Mumbai and beat Kolkata.

If such a situation prevails, then the four teams will have 12 points each and the qualification will be decided on the basis of net run rate. At present, Punjab is behind Kolkata in terms of net run rate. If all the teams are on 12 points then Punjab will be in fifth place and Kolkata will qualify for top-4 with better net run rate. Punjab will have to win a big win against Chennai in their final group match or they can hope that Rajasthan beat Kolkata by a big margin. However, the situation is not easy for Punjab and there are many hurdles for them to reach the playoffs. But there are still possibilities left for him.
