* Punjab Kings ended their six-match losing streak and kept their playoff hopes alive with a crucial win.
The victory lifts PBKS to fourth place on the points table. However, their qualification still depends on other results.
Scenario 1 – Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians tomorrow:
If RR beat MI, PBKS are eliminated from playoff contention.
If MI beat RR, PBKS stay alive but must watch KKR’s final match.
Scenario 2 – KKR vs DC net run rate equation:
If MI beat RR, Kolkata Knight Riders can still overtake PBKS on NRR. To do that, KKR would need to beat Delhi Capitals by approximately 77 runs if they score 200 batting first. If chasing, KKR would need to chase down 180 in around 12–12.4 overs.
If MI beat RR and KKR fail to achieve that margin, Punjab Kings will qualify for the playoffs.
