Two fails in a row .. everything changed .. to knock CSK down on the head ..
Emirate: Due to two consecutive defeats, the Chennai Super Kings team is now in a dilemma.
The IPL 2024 series has now reached its climax. With three teams advancing to the playoffs, there is fierce competition for fourth place.
With Chennai Super Kings entering the play-offs as the first team, Delhi Capitals Land became the second team. To give RCB entry as a third team, the suspense is who is now the 4th spot !.
The Delhi and Bangalore teams are currently comfortable in the three teams that entered the CSK playoffs. But, in this big problem, it is the Chennai Super Kings team that is faltering in confusion. Dhoni’s Yellow Army, who have won the series in the United States, have failed miserably in their last two matches.
In the match against Rajasthan, CSK scored 189 runs and won the toss with 2 overs to spare. Then, in the match against Delhi, they batted first, lost 5 wickets in 20 overs and lost by just 136 runs.
Chance to catch second
Thus, Chennai, who played in 13 matches, slipped to 2nd place in the standings to face their fourth defeat. To advance Delhi to the top spot, RCB is now in 3rd place with 16 points. Chennai team points 18. However, CSK has only one match left in hand. Bangalore have 2 matches left. In particular, Sunrisers Hyderabad will face a lackluster side in today’s match.
If they win this match and the last match against Delhi, they have a chance to finish 2nd with 20 points. Maybe if CSK loses to Punjab, Bangalore will definitely take second place.
Great setback
So, the rules of the play-offs for the IPL are clear to everyone. The team that loses the first two places will face the team that loses, and the team that finishes 3rd and 4th will face the winner of the match.
The winning team will advance to the final. So, taking the first two places is the most important thing for the Bangalore team. Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings, who entered the play-offs as the first team, will definitely be a major setback for the team if they finish third.
Gold needle
Just 2 back to back failure .. Where did you see the situation in Chennai? This is the fun of the IPL. Chennai team’s biggest minus is the middle order and Dhoni’s batting. Dhoni, in particular, is the burden of the team. ‘Can it be taken and pierced for a gold needle?’ We would have heard adults say that. That is the situation of Dhoni now. Taking advantage of these setbacks, the RCB is formulating a strategy to move forward in the first two places.
In that, the most important thing today is to bring down the Sunrisers team by a higher run rate difference. Since the last match is against Delhi, the challenge will be greater. Not sure if you can get a high run rate even if you win. However, the goalie’s army is very serious about aggressively knocking out Hyderabad, the only team out of form in the series, to increase the run rate and push CSK to third place.
