The knockout match of this season of IPL will be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings. RCB are stuck in a net run rate patch of 0 in Saturday's match at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. RCB is currently at 7th place in the points table. He has 12 runs and a net run rate of +0.387. While CSK is at third place. CSK has 14 points and a net run rate of +0.528. In such a situation, just defeating CSK will not help RCB. They have to beat CSK by more than 150 runs or by more than 18 runs with 11 balls remaining. Let us know how this net run rate is calculated.

The formula to calculate net runrate seems simple, but it is a bit complex. To calculate the net run rate, the number of runs scored by a team in its overs and the runs scored by the opposing team in its overs are considered. His formula is something like this.

The formula to calculate net run rate is-

Total runs scored/Total overs bowled – Opponent's runs/Total overs bowled

For example, if the team batting first scored 160 runs (160/20) in 20 overs and the second team scored only 150 runs (150/20) in 20 overs, then the net run rate of the team batting first would be 8- Is 7.5. = +0.5. Similarly, if the other team scores only 159 runs in 20 overs and loses the match by one run, the net run rate of the team batting first will be +0.05. Whereas the net run rate of the other team will be -0.05. Runs scored in future matches will also count. Suppose if the run-rate remains the same in the second match, the net run-rate of the team batting first will be +5.00.

If one team gets out early then the other team will benefit.

Now there is a patch. That is, if the team batting later gets out after playing 15 overs instead of 20, then the advantage goes to the team batting first. In such a situation, the overs of the team batting in the second innings will be counted from 20 instead of 15. It is believed that the opposition team has played its entire quota of overs. When the chasing team wins the match in 15 overs, it gets the advantage. The net run rate is then calculated based on the overs in which the team completes the match. If there is rain in the match then the net run rate is calculated according to the scheduled overs. Net Runrate is calculated as per the score determined after DLS.

How has been the performance so far?

Talking about the performance of both the teams, CSK has scored 2333 runs in 254.4 overs in the 13 matches played so far. Whereas 2197 runs have been scored against them in 254.3 overs. Whereas RCB has scored 2540 runs in 249 overs in 13 matches. Whereas the opposition team has scored 2455 runs in 250.1 overs. If we talk about CSK's playoff equation, they can qualify even if they lose. Also, even if this match is cancelled, it will still qualify for the playoffs. However it loses by less than 18 runs or with 11 balls remaining. Now it remains to be seen which team wins in this close match between RCB and CSK.
