Sunrisers Hyderabad gave their qualifying chances to their playoffs a little after beating Chennai Super Kings on Friday. With five games to play, the team managed by Pat Cummins must win at least three more in order in the qualification mixture. With important devices that stand at home, the SRH must go from an undefeated race from here if they really want to increase their hopes by the end of the league.
If Hyderabad wins all of his remaining matches, their chances of qualification would not need to depend on the results of the other teams. However, only one defeat here would make the scenario delicate enough for them.
SRH’s remaining matches:
May 2 – VS Gujarat Titans (outside)
May 5 – VS Delhi Capitals (Home)
May 10 – vs Kolkata Knight Riders (Home)
May 13 – VS Royal Challengers Bengaluru (Away)
May 18 – VS Lucknow Super Giants (far)
Chennai Super Kings arrived in the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad with 2 victories in 7 games, putting them in the same equation as their opponents. But a defeat for the MS Dhoni team leaves them almost out of the playoff race. With 5 games to do in the season for them, the Super Kings must win all these games to stay in the mixture for a top four.
If CSK takes place on an undefeated race from here, they would manage to put 14 points on the board, which gives them a chance of qualification. However, some results should come across CSK’s knees to seal a place in the playoffs.
CSK’s remaining matches:
April 30 – VS Punjab Kings (House)
May 3 – VS Royal Challengers Bengaluru (Away)
May 12 – vs Rajasthan Royals (Home)
May 18 – VS Gujarat Titans (outside)
