RCB, which only has four points after six games, can reach a maximum of eight points by winning its last two games against the UP Warriorz and Mumbai Indians (MI). The giants and the Mi are already placed in eight points, while DC is out of the reach of RCB with ten. Despite being far behind, RCB’s fate is still in his own hands. Until now, DC has sealed a place in the playoffs, while Up Warriorz is out of the race.
Essential gain scenario for RCB
RCB’s possibilities in the WPL 2025 playoffs will end as soon as Saturday they face Warriorz. But if they win on Saturday, they will closely follow the game between me and Giants to learn who the net execution rate (NRR) is, they must pass to qualify for the playoffs. The giants currently have a better Nrr than me, and an additional advantage for RCB is that their last game will only be against me.
RCB is almost 60 races behind my NRR, but you will have to beat them for only 20 races if you can win against UPW for ten races and you lose to the giants by the same margin. However, going to the giants will be more challenging for RCB: their collective margin of victories against Upw and Mi must have about 62 races if the giants lose with me for only ten races.
Delhi Capitals until the final?
DC finished his phase of the league as the table toppers with five victories, but his direct qualification to the final for the third consecutive season will have to wait since both the MI and the giants can advance. I can end at the top if they win both games, while giants can pass DC if they can beat me by a decent margin.
The giants must win for 17 races or 12 balls (for a total of first entries of 180) against me to anticipate the NRR of DC. On the other hand, my is about 30 races behind DC, which means that if they lose one of their two games for ten races, they should have won the other for about 40 races.
