Gujarat Titans are the only team confirmed for the playoffs leaving the second spot up for grabs. The excitement lies in the uncertainty of which team will secure that coveted spot.
My random prediction is that MI will lose against LSG today even though they look like they can chase down any score while CSK will win the next match and claim the second spot later on.
The remaining two spots will be taken by LSG and RCB. MI will probably get screwed thanks to RCB coming from behind.
I will 100% blame the poor batting performance behind Mumbai Indians' defeat in today's match. In particular, Mumbai Indians scored only 3 runs in the 12th over, only 1 run in the 13th over, only 6 runs in the 16th over, only 9 runs in the 18th over despite getting several extra runs including a no ball, only 5 runs in the 20th over Collected which was enough for Mumbai Indians to lose the match. Here Cameron Green comes towards the end and scores only 4 runs from six balls and he does not score any runs from multiple balls. I will only blame him for the defeat of Mumbai Indians.
Agreed, the team that were able to reach 100 runs in the 11
th over unable to score another 77 runs in 56 balls is really poor batting performance. Simple, the team is much depending on few players. I haven't gone into the statistics, but in most of the Matches in which Suryakumar Yadav played well is a win for Mumbai Indians. Today even with the best batsmen on the crease and unable to win scoring 10 runs in the last over is a big disappointment for the Mumbai Indians team supporters.
