RCB have a very outside possibility of finishing third, but that will require the duo of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and SRH to undergo a sudden slump in form, making them lose nearly six out of their next seven matches so that they don’t go beyond 12 points. This will mean that RCB, with 14 points, could still jump to the third place in the table.
However, if RCB lose against SRH on Thursday, they can only get to a maximum of 12 points at the end of the league stages. Statistically, as many as eight teams can to that stage at the finishing point, thus throwing the playing field wide open, bringing it all down to the NRR situation.
