The 2015 edition of the IPL is all set to enter its final week with the top 4 teams yet to be finalized. As many as six teams are vying for a place in the Play-Offs while Kings XI Punjab and Delhi Daredevils are already out of the tournament. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have played some street-smart cricket and are currently at the top of points table with eight wins in 13 matches. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are placed at third with seven wins in 13 games.
On the other hand, RR, who won their first five matches, have lost as many matches and have slumped to sixth in points table. They are scheduled to play their last match against KKR on May 16 and it will be a do-die game for them.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), have also started to come to terms and would like to continue their winning run so as to strengthen their case for a spot in the final four.
May 15: RCB defeated SRH to jump to 2nd position. Now only a big loss against DD can rule them out of the play-off race.
May 14: MI defeated KKR and moved to 5th place. Now they need to win their last match against SRH to qualify for the play-offs.
May 13: RCB lost to KXIP by 22 runs but maintained their fifth position. They must now win both their remaining matches to seal a place in play-offs.
May 12: CSK lost their match against DD and would need to win their last game against KXIP (on May 15) to seal a place in the play-offs.
May 11: SRH, who were placed at fifth position as on the previous day, defeated KXIP by 5 runs and moved to third position. They are now just a win behind from qualifying for the play-offs.
