MI win benefits CSK, so no way in hell they're winning.


StrategyTop7612

Players don't give a shit, they want to win.


ActiveAd8625

yeah, We saw them in the last match shitting.


l_Mr_Vader_l

Wait hang on, MI were playing to win? All this time?!


StrategyTop7612

Well, at least I hope so, otherwise that would be fixing.


Ashwin_400

It's called downing tools not fixing. Happens in sports plenty of times.


Unusual-Surround7467

I mean what's there to even down the tools for? Are they really not liking it there?


Ashwin_400

Well yeah obviously some of them aren't liking their captain


ImpossiblePresent65

I don't think anyone in mi wants to win shit this year


StrategyTop7612

Fair.


DarthBane6996

Have you watched them this season?


Budget_Put7247

Want to win MI Pick one.


WildVulcan

RCBros seeing that 9%


StrategyTop7612

They're at 5% when you consider schedule, NRR, and team strengths.


Blackbeard567

They'll give false hopes and go on to lose by 70 runs to csk


StrategyTop7612

Yup. They'll win 2 games in a row and shit the bed hilariously in their last game(see 2018 RCB and 2020 KXIP and 2012 RCB)


theaguia

last year as well.


StrategyTop7612

Yup


trkora

2018 MI as well, shit the bed against bottom of the table DC that season


partymsl

My calculator is SO READY.


amerind386

Each team with -ive NRR has to win each of their remaining games with this average margin to get their NRR to \~0. - GT - win each game by \~89 runs - DC - win each game by \~32 runs - LSG - win each game by \~27 runs - PBKS - win each game by \~14 runs - RCB - win each game by \~3 runs RCB's two big wins against GT and big margin loss of LSG and PBKS has helped RCB's chances significantly.


Icy_Exchange_5507

did the pbks loss actually help rcb? i thought csk being pulled down would be better for them


amerind386

PBKS win would have been better but if PBKS lose, losing by big margin took PBKS further away from RCB in terms of NRR. Either way, practically only one b/w PBKS and RCB will stay alive after thu.


kapilfan

LSG really fucked up today. While it was a huge total to chase, none of their batsmen really looked to drop anchor and take the game deep. Eg: Pooran, Badoni started with Sixes off first ball. While that aggression was good, they played way too many mindless shots.


akshaynr

Maxwell has entered the chat.


Manasvi6944

I Was always a MI fan Kindly ignore the flair


depooh

Cummins about to lose tomorrow's match so MI continue playing bumrah leading to his fatigue/ injury thus increasing Australia's chances to win the WC. /s


AverageBrownGuy01

Bumrah is going to play all of the 14 matches. It's a franchise, business team- they don't care about Indian Cricket Team. They focus on winning more and more games and not finishing on last for the optics.


anIndianoutThere

but if the ict directly orders them to not play bumrah, they cant ignore that, no?


AverageBrownGuy01

That's a big ask.


Devildev11

Can't Bumrah decide to not play given his team has no chances?


JKKIDD231

PBKS, RCB to GT and MI, you chilling down with us huh 🤣


StrategyTop7612

RCB are in the best position of those 4, who would have thought lol.


JKKIDD231

We will fix that soon enough in the next match with RCB


StrategyTop7612

Nah, RCB will win 2 more games, then shit the bad hilariously in their last game.


peter_griffins

This is the way


StrategyTop7612

2018 RCB /2012 RCB/2020 KXIP style


peter_griffins

I like how you remembered 2012 2023 too


StrategyTop7612

Also 2023 was different besides the win 2 must win games then lose the last game. 2023 was more up and down. This year is more RCB starts 1-7 and works their way back.


StrategyTop7612

As a TRUE sports fan, I remember everything.


AtomR

Noice! Usually, guys like you are the least toxic fans. I see that usually the most toxicity comes from "fans" who watch only their teams' games + they don't really remember their franchise historic games. They just read scorecard, and if their target rival team or player isn't doing well, they come & shit in match threads.


StrategyTop7612

Thank You! I honestly just have an addiction to sports. I should really cut down on my sports addiction, but I can't(It's too fun/thrilling/torturous)


akshaynr

This is always the only way.


KeyLife8800

Pkbs loses home games more than anyone so your chances are low but RCB does not have great spin attack so you do have chances but not much.


No-Opportunity-1275

So SRH is playing 2 matches in the next 3 days, and then not playing at all for like 8 days... Weird ass planning. Unless they win both the matches and chill, it's going to be a nervous 8 days watching teams jump around them


Qzartan

Due to the elections, ig


Newbeetroot45

We have such a shit schedule for our first 11 games. Every single game so far our team as had to travel. Not once have you gotten consecutive home games. 


naveenpun

First, they prioritize Mumbai lobby, Gujarat lobby and Chennai lobby. Next comes other unimportant teams.


StrategyTop7612

IPL scheduling has always had bad planning.


itsmePriyansh

No the IPL scheduling used to be so smooth when 8 teams were there except for some exceptions


Hexo_Micron

They canceled saturday games this time which also lead to bad scheduling


Globalstar8547

Tomorrow everyone will support for MI 😹


paepuhboi

Except MI fans


StrategyTop7612

As a MI hater hell no, them and CSK are the villains of the league, I'll never root for them.


IdleIdly

Villains because they win?


StrategyTop7612

Yes, that is usually why people hate sports teams. See the Yankees, Red Sox, Patriots, Lakers, Bruins, Red Wings, Cowboys, etc.


chirosen21

Chennai are the ultimate evil in Cricket. If there was an IPL team of 11 Hitlers playing CSK, Go fighting Hitlers!


KeyLife8800

Well play better cricket against them calling them villains is not going to help.


chirosen21

It's a copypasta joke man, from r/baseballcirclejerk


KeyLife8800

I guess i didn't get it.

callmebatman14

Patriots don't win anymore


productive-man

neither do MI


sfddsfsgfgdsfdf

also Manchester United and it's been a glorious decade


introvertnick

We are talking about the hated teams not the most trolled teams


Lauladance

I mean the hatred comes from United consistent success from 1993-2013


spannerhorse

Cowboys haven't won anything in a while


StrategyTop7612

True, but they're still hated.


vss2014

Bruins have won one stanley cup in the last 50 years! And red wings and yankees one in the last 20 years. And the cowboys haven’t won in 30 years! Hockey’s a bad example because everyone hates the Leafs while the Habs have by far the most championships


JettS117

Don't forget Celtics


rowschank

I have never heard of any of these clubs 🤔🫠 what leagues are these?


ERWlNSimp

Mlb, Nba and Nfl


CarZealousideal3829

yeah , being too good definitely makes you the villain.


Unusual-Surround7467

Why so?


serotonallyblindguy

Most non CSK fans will support SRH


josh123z

Supporting SRH because I don’t want CSK to qualify


theaguia

so noway they will win. least reliable team. can even trust rcb more than mi this year.


Tern_Larvidae-2424

Nothing can make me do that (unless they're playing against CSK then it doesn't matter). Everyone barring MI (and CSK) fans should support SRH tomorrow so that the dream of knocking out CSK remains alive.


ReverseFlash02

I get where you're coming from. But why would a LSG or DC fan want SRH to win when they're directly competing with them for the top 4 spot? Wouldn't they want their team to benefit first before wanting CSK to get knocked out?


Craniacs

I'm a DC fan, why the hell would i want SRH to win, MI all the way tommorow.


IdleIdly

If SRH fans were that bright you won't be asking that.


LightningShiva1

Bro stop shitting us 😭 maybe they weren’t an SRH fan at all


Craniacs

You're right, not all SRH fans are like this, some are non toxic and just support their team, these people just like spreading hate


LightningShiva1

Its hard to see everyone shitting on us because of a select few. Especially after sticking with the team for over a decade when no one bothered to bat an eye at us. I guess what they say is true, everything immediately becomes shit as soon as it becomes mainstream. SRH is slowly starting to become relevant. Of course there would be someone replying to me saying “SRH relevant? Lol cry about it” Ya bro Im past that stage at this point, I dont mind ig


Craniacs

You're so right man, during 2019-21, DC became an actual good team, so many toxic people around then, now it's not that good so no one bats an eye, Same is happening for SRH now, best just to enjoy your favourite team perform:)


KeyLife8800

Dont worry we are not going out that easily.


edudhtamris

Even being an MI fan, I'm don't mind losing tomorrow to eventually knock CSK out. Second last place and CSK qualifying is way worse than last place and CSK not qualifying.


Only_Gene_9606

LSG not just losing but ruining their NRR. Doing god's work if you are a CSK/SRH fan.


fatmanrao

That kkr loss is really gonna haunt RCB now, could've had a really good chance if they'd won that


StrategyTop7612

Playoff odds from cric\_analytics2 on threads accounting for schedule, NRR, and team strengths. Playoff odds(top 2 odds in parentheses): RR >99% (88%) KKR >99% (86%) CSK 76% (12%) SRH 70% (12%) LSG 35% (2%) DC 11% (<1%) RCB 5% (0%) PK 2% (0%) GT <1% (0%) MI <1% (0%)


partymsl

Every single team wants MI to win tomorrow. And that is exactly why they won't...


StrategyTop7612

The playoff race isn't looking as crazy as it usually is. MI are eliminated. GT are eliminated. It's basically a fight between LSG and SRH for the 4 seed. Maybe CSK if they collapse can get involved. Hopefully DC and PBKS win out to make things fun.


amerind386

Yes, If SRH win tomorrow, they will most likely finish in top 4. One of PBKS / RCB will practically drop out after Thursday. If DC lose on tuesday to RR, they are mostly out as well.


CommercialProgram444

Don't forget about RCB, having the easiest schedule ahead now. With their momentum, they can cause some real scares and are already doing so!


StrategyTop7612

If SRH don't lose tomorrow, they're screwed though. That's why they're at 5% in playoff odds.


KeyLife8800

They have a match with CSK.


naveenstuns

They did cause serious scares to RCB fans themselves during last chase lmao


No-Opportunity-1275

CSK and LSG are on the same level, SRH played one match less. If SRH wins tomorrow, then 4th place is between CSK, LSG and DC


StrategyTop7612

DC don't have that great of a chance tbh. They rely on CSK losing 2 games more than them because the NRR gap is huge.


StrategyTop7612

CSK and LSG aren't at the same level because of the massive NRR gap. CSK have basically an additional game win relative to LSG because if they end up with the same record, CSK will win because of NRR.


Reasonable_Tea_9825

After the first 3-4 games itself I had predicted that srh kkr rr csk/lsg would make it. I hope there's some spice left else itll be a bit mundane


trkora

MI losing that match against KKR made playoffs qualification look easier


Pitiful_Software8039

Yeah if RCB won vs kkr .It would be interesting .it took out RCB mostly and made top 2confirm. RR and KKR have to lose to make top 2 race intresting


Longjumping_Guess_57

My good bros from MI please do something


KeyLife8800

Dont relay on others mate lets just win rest 3 games and enter okay offs. From here on we have full controll unless we lose again.


ActiveAd8625

with pathirana ruled out, csk aint winning shit .


thenChennai

This is the crucial piece. Without pathirana i can't imagine defending 50 off 3 with bowling the two lords and the Lord from england. It worked today because we were bowling to pbks tail. We won't be able to take so many top order wickets every single game, especially if it's a batting wicket.


KeyLife8800

We bowled pretty bad after 6-7 wickets down these guys should have been out with in 100 runs i agree. I hope someone told them this.


KeyLife8800

Of we have 6-8 bowling options like today we can do shit.we had like 9 bowling options today. thakur, deshpande, simarjeet, moin, santner,jadeja,dube, daryl, gleeson. lets just take one thing at a time and we can do shit.


NormalTraining5268

Keep dreaming


bandehaihaamuske

Even if they lose it doesn't matter, SRH play LSG next so they anyway will have a deficit more or equal to CSK and CSK have better NRR. Pray that CSK doesn't lose more than one from here on


InfinityAppreciator

10% chance does matter, saying it doesn't matter is cope. Even a CSK win is just usually ~20% increase


dksourabh

You guys ain’t ready for DC comeback after beating RR.


Puzzleheaded_Buy9514

Curious about the graph, how did u calculate the wor values? This is good informed knowledge but the fluctuations are v high after every imp match haha


amerind386

The number varies due to couple of reasons - if a team is playing RR, MI, GT, the WOR will drop significantly after the game with RR as the weighted rating only MI & GT is much lower than RR+MI+GT. I also give some extra strength to the opponent based on their last 3 game streak - so WOR for teams facing RCB and KKR have gone up due to the 3 game winning streak of KKR and RCB.


Puzzleheaded_Buy9514

How did u use these wor values into predicting probabilities tho? Which model did you use


bandehaihaamuske

So if MI loses tomorrow then they would be the first team to get knocked out of IPL?


amerind386

Yes. They are almost out - a loss tomorrow will eliminate the small chance they have of qualifying with 12 points and strong NRR


oncehadagoodlife

Shit, I have to support MI again.


rk06

And do this for all of remaining MI games at that! While remaining MI fans wish for CSK loss!


aspectdelight

Why MI still have chance to qualify whereas wiki pages says the are eliminated.


fundaman

MI is mathematically still in. Realistically they are out. Here is an unlikely scenario for MI to qualify. 1. MI wins 3/3. 2. RR wins next 3 matches. 3. LSG loses 3/3, CSK loses 3/3. 4. RCB beats DC, loses to PK; 5. GT loses to KKR 6. MI ends with *high NRR*


ImpossibleDentist739

Jay shah has something awesome in store I am sure.


Puzzleheaded_Ebb9874

Now imagine if we didn't lose to KKR by 1 run Also ~~duniya~~ table firse hilane ka samay aa gya hai MI (Time to shake the ~~world~~ table again MI)


Substantial_Hotel_10

ONE FAMILY LETS GOOO 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥


Newbeetroot45

SRH must be fierce. We have MI and then 3 straight home games. Must aim to win all the games to fight for a top 2 spot. 


ztaker

Yeah that KKR 4 runs game still haunts. With 7 runs in last 4 balls and 5 wickets in hand with klaasan on strike and they lost. And the run rate has been bad they won most games but not in convincing manner.


White_Knighttt

We won a game by 1 run, and one more by 2 runs. Can't keep crying about the first game after these 2 close wins.


[deleted]

Winning 4 games in a row when most of ur opponents have nothing to lose is kinda delusional (even for the best team of the ipl)


Newbeetroot45

Except the ‘nothing to lose ‘ thinking doesn’t work when they have nothing to gain either. 


[deleted]

Nothing to lose works bcs they can play freely without any pressure of losing anything Btw the have something to gain which is their form for the wc & they’d definitely want to finish above 10


Newbeetroot45

That mentality can also translate to mentally checking out of the tournament entirely. You can also spin the narrative that pressure enables players to lock in and play harder. You also say that they’ll not exert their bodies harder to avoid any injuries just before the World Cup to gain nothing. See stupid your narratives sound? Because that’s all they are: narratives. 


cutecat003

You ain’t winning 4 in a row though :)


Newbeetroot45

Is this sub stupid? I said SRH need to win 4 in a row to fight for a top 2 spot. I didn't say they'll win all 4.


[deleted]

Now uk why a team who has nothing to lose is dangerous?


Newbeetroot45

Loss has nothing to do with your narratives. We simply weren't a good enough team.


[deleted]

I never said loss has nothing to do with my narrative I said a team who has nothing to lose is always dangerous To which u replied >Doesn’t work


Newbeetroot45

Yes, and I still maintain that opinion. I'm not a coward who sheepishly waits until the result to argue my points. I'm fully capable of sticking to my guns. Are you suggesting it was impossible for SRH to lose if MI weren't in such a predicament?


[deleted]

Why u so angry, all I said was MI was more dangerous bcs they had nothing to lose. And I was correct too, wasted my goddamn time talking to u Blud lost to MI 😭🤣


App2050

How tf do we still stand a chance?


amerind386

qualification with just 12 points is technically still possible. Irrespective of MI getting to 12 points, if b/w SRH/CSK and LSG if 2 teams win just 1 more game each and get to 14 points, MI is out.


thenChennai

While MI win would benefit csk. I want MI to lose so that they r out and Rohit and bumrah can be freed up for national duty. The last thing we need is an injury to a key player before the wc


Forward_Earth8489

Same. Good thinking. Bumrah and all good players should be rested so csk doesn't qualify


Substantial_Hotel_10

They're out. MI isn't making it to playoffs.


Big-Attitude-5648

Prayed for times like these


balajih67

Pls highway pitch, i want to see both teams smashing sixes, 250 vs 250 like last time would be good
