The ongoing 12th season of the Indian Premier League is currently into its last day of the league stage. While Kings XI Punjab vs Chennai Super Kings is inconsequential with respect to the qualifiers, Mumbai Indians hosting Kolkata Knight Riders might see a change in the current Top Four.
With nine wins in 13 matches, defending champions Chennai Super Kings are currently at No. 1 in the points table. With nine wins in 14 matches, Delhi Capitals are at No. 2. With eight wins in 13 matches, Mumbai Indians are at No. 3 in the points table.
Should Chennai defeat Punjab, they will automatically finish the league stage as the Top team (20 points). If the same happens, the winner of MI vs KKR won’t affect the first two positions.
Assuming that Punjab win their last match against Chennai and Mumbai defeat Kolkata in the evening, the visitors will have to make sure that they don’t let Punjab chase the given total in less than 14.4 overs. If KXIP chase the total within 14.4 overs and MI beat KKR, MI will move into Top Two alongside Delhi Capitals.
IPL 2019 Playoff Prediction
CSK must not lose by 40-41 runs while chasing or should not give away the runs scored within 14.4/14.5 overs against KXIP. If they do, they will slip below DC in NRR. Take Note, All these will come into play only if MI win against KKR tomorrow #KXIPvCSK

DC now have an NRR of +0.04. For them to get above CSK on NRR, CSK will need to lose by around 5.3 overs OR 40-45 runs (approx. figures)#IPL2019 #DCvRR #RCBvSRH

If #KXIP beat #CSK by 40 or more runs or chase the target with 5.3 overs left, DC will move past CSK on NRR, and if MI wins , then it will be MI v DC in the first qualifier.

For Delhi Capitals, they will be hoping for Knight Riders to defeat Indians for a Mumbai victory will see them enter the Top alongside Chennai Super Kings (if the above mentioned happens).
