Gujarat Titans, Chennai Super Kings and finally Lucknow Super Giants after its thrilling one-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday, have managed to cut themselves loose off the mid-table clutter in the Indian Premier League.

Meanwhile, with Sunrisers Hyderabad, Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals, Rajasthan Royals and KKR all out of the race now, only two teams have a chance to fight it out for the last of the top-4 spots.

Sportstar takes a look at what is required of each of the teams—Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore — to make it to the next round.

MI qualifies if…

  • ⦿
    RCB loses against GT. The scenario now looks highly likely with most areas of Bengaluru being hit by severe hailstorms and rain.

RCB qualifies if…

    It wins the match against GT. It will also qualify if it suffers a defeat by less than six runs if GT scores 180 or if GT takes more than 19.3 overs to chase the same.
