CRICKET
The IPL 2023 is about to enter the final week of its league stages. With the sides still in playoff contention, we analyse their chances.
GT is just a triumph away from sealing its berth as a conquest against MI on Friday to confirm its place.
CSK needs to win two fixtures to ensure its playoff berth, while one victory will make it dependent on other results.
RR should also succeed in its remaining two ties, while a triumph could make it dependent on other results.
The same goes for MI, as conquests in the remaining three encounters would ensure its playoff berth, but two wins would make it dependent.
LSG s also in the same situation as MI, as three wins would assure a playoff berth, while two wins could put it in an NRR situation.
While RCB also has to win its three remaining matches, even those would make it dependent on the NRR alongside KKR and PBKS.
SRH has to win its four contests to stay mathematically in contention, while two losses kick it out entirely, which is the same for DC.
