Hyderabad needs a big defeat

The future of Delhi Capitals is no longer on itself but on other teams. From here, Sunrisers Hyderabad, captained by Pat Cummins, can qualify for the playoffs only if it suffers a big defeat. Hyderabad has played a total of 12 matches so far this season, out of which it is fourth in the points table with 7 wins. Hyderabad's net run rate is +0.406. Hyderabad also has 14 points and Delhi also has 14 points. In such a situation, if Hyderabad loses the next two matches, then the score of both Hyderabad and Delhi will be 14-14. Here the entire game will be based on net run rate.

Delhi can qualify like this

If somehow Hyderabad's net run rate becomes less than Delhi's then Delhi can also qualify for the playoffs. Hyderabad has to play one match against Gujarat Titans on 16th May while the other match is against Punjab Kings on 19th May. If Hyderabad loses both the matches by a total of 194 runs then its net run rate will be worse than Delhi. After this, if Chennai Super Kings also defeats Royal Challengers Bangalore in the match, then Delhi will qualify for the playoffs. In such a situation, it remains to be seen whether Delhi's luck shines or not. It will not be an easy task to give such a huge defeat to Hyderabad, but according to the equation, Delhi can still qualify.
