IPL Playoffs 2022: Chance for Delhi's team to reach the playoffs, know what needs to be done

New Delhi, Online Desk. In the 15th season of the Indian Premier League, the race for the playoffs has become very interesting. The Gujarat team has already made it to the playoffs while Mumbai and Chennai are out of the race. Meaning there is a competition between 7 teams to get the last three places. The team of Delhi Capitals is also involved in this race and also a strong contender. The team has to play against Punjab this evening, whose name is also included in the list of teams making the playoffs.

The performance of Delhi’s team this season does not look that special to those who see it, but the team has not done that bad. The only thing is that there is no continuous victory in his part, but the team has so far won 6 out of 12 i.e. 50 percent victory. Now in the next two matches, the team will have to show the best game of this season as Delhi have not won even once in two consecutive matches this season.

How will Delhi reach the playoffs?

The Delhi team has a very easy formula to reach the playoffs. The team will have to win the next two matches to reach 16 points. Tonight the team will play Punjab, who will also have a chance to reach 16 points. Well, only one of the two teams will be successful in this. The target in front of Delhi is to win today’s match and beat the teams reaching 16 points on the basis of net run rate.

Bangalore is the only team that can manage to reach 16 points and will compete with Delhi. If Lucknow’s team loses its next match, then it will also be on 16 points, in such a situation, Delhi can reach third place with a better run rate but for this they will have to win matches against Punjab and Mumbai.

Lost today, still there will be a chance to reach

If the team of Delhi gets a defeat against Punjab, even then the equation fits, then the team can move forward. For this, the Delhi team will have to win the next match in any case and pray that the Gujarat team beat Bangalore so that they too remain on 14 points. On the other hand, Punjab will have to pray for the team’s defeat against Hyderabad. On the other hand, Kolkata can also have 14 points but the good thing is that if Delhi is better than the team reaching all these 14 points in net run rate, then they can make it to the playoffs.
