DC have 14 points in 14 matches and are in 5th place after their win over LSG. Their NRR is -0.377

2 teams - KKR and RR have officially qualified with SRH, CSK, DC and RCB effectively fighting for the remaining two

To help DC's cause, SRH, who are on 14 points from 12 games, should lose both of their next games by a combined margin of 194 while chasing 200 each time

This will take DC over SRH on 4th spot

But if RCB beat CSK on May 18, RCB will pip them on NRR as they have an NRR of +0.387 currently

If RCB beat CSK then they would need to do so by so big margin that CSK's NRR falls below DC, which is almost impossible in one match
