IPL 2019: Know how CSK might not qualify for the playoff even after 16 points

The defending champions Chennai Super Kings have played 11 matches so far in IPL 2019 and out of 11 matches have won 8 matches and are in the top spot in the table with 16 points.

In the last match, the Chennai team defeated Hyderabad, after which it was believed that Chennai Super Kings have become the first team to reach the playoff this season but they will be surprised to know that CSK may still miss the qualification for the playoffs.

So today in this article we are going to tell you about some possibilities, which can make Chennai not qualify for the playoffs

1. The Chennai team will now have to play three matches in the league stage, in which they will face Mumbai, Delhi and Punjab. During this time, if the Chennai faces the defeat in all these three matches, then it will end the league stage at 16 points and the rest of the teams can advance to the last 4.

2. In this season, Delhi Capitals have won 7 out of 11 matches and are in second place with 14 points in the table. Delhi Capitals also have to play three matches in the league stage. If the Delhi team wins the remaining three matches, then it will reach the top with 20 points.

3. After Delhi capitals, Mumbai Indians have 6 wins in 10 matches with 12 points in the points table, and Mumbai has 4 league matches now, in which they will have 2 matches Kolkata and 1 matches Chennai and Hyderabad. If Mumbai beat Kolkata and Chennai & even losses against Hyderabad, then they will overtake Chennai with 18 points.

4. The Sunrisers Hyderabad can also spoil the playoffs hopes of Chennai because the Hyderabad team has played 10 matches and has won 5 matches and now it has 4 league matches. In such a case, if the team defeats Rajasthan, Bangalore, Mumbai and also lose to Kings XI Punjab, then they will be ahead of Chennai with NRR and 16 points in the table.

5. Kings XI Punjab have played 11 matches so far and 3 league matches. The team led by Ashwin is now in fourth place in the table with 10 points after winning 5 matches. If this team wins with a big difference in the remaining matches, then the Punjab team can also surpass Chennai Super Kings.

After looking at all these major possibilities, it seems that Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Delhi Capitals and Kings XI Punjab teams can end the hopes of Chennai Super Kings. Although this seems to be less likely to happen, cricket is called a game of uncertainties and anything can happen
