"16 Points Can Miss Out, 15 Can Qualify": Ex-India Star On IPL Top 4 Race

The race for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 playoffs is slowly gaining momentum and as of now, eight teams are still in fray for securing the Top 4 slots. While Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad missed out on qualification following disappointing performances in the competition, the other eight teams still have chances to move up in IPL 2023. Gujarat Titans are the only side as of now who are guaranteed a spot in the knock-out stage. Former Indian cricket team opener Aakash Chopra took to Twitter to talk about the scenarios and how the race can spring some surprises.

“Teams with 15 points can qualify. And teams with 16 points can miss out for the playoffs. What an incredible season we've had…  Both CSK and LSG can reach 17. Qualification confirmed. Both of them can finish with 15…and qualify if PBKS, RCB or MI don't reach 16. If both CSK & LSG reach 17…and MI-PBKS-RCB finish with 16…team with the best NRR will qualify. Kya season hai.”

The playoff scenario is extremely interesting at the moment as there is a chance that teams with 15 points can qualify despite 16 points being considered as the safe spot. Both Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings can finish at 15 points and qualify depending on all the other results.

On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians can end up reaching the 16-point mark but one of them can miss out if CSK and LSG reach 17 points with wins in their last games. In that situation, the net run rate will come into play for the other sides.

156.7 Kmph Sensation Awaits India Debut, Bangladesh Start Life After Shakib

Pace sensation Mayank Yadav is expected to unleash his raw speed while the absence of India's T20 regulars will provide another opportunity to the fringe players in the three-match series against Bangladesh, beginning here Sunday. Having consistently generated speed in excess of 150kmph in his maiden IPL earlier this year, Mayank had drawn the attention of the cricketing world before a side strain ruled him out of the tournament. Usually, one has to prove fitness in domestic cricket to be considered for national selection but the 22-year-old has been fast-tracked into the side considering his special talent. The series against Bangladesh will be a test of his fitness and temperament. It is yet to be figured if he can display the same accuracy and control that he exhibited in the IPL. Besides Mayank, fellow Delhi pacer Harshit Rana and all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy could also make their India debut over the course of the series. Nitish was picked for the Zimbabwe tour post the T...

PCB Not Happy With Pak Star Over Social Media Post On Babar Snub: Report

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is not pleased that Fakhar Zaman questioned the selection panel's decision to sideline Babar Azam from the Test side. The panel dropped former captain Babar Azam when they announced the squad for the remaining two Tests against England in Multan and Rawalpindi. Zaman took to X to question the decision, inviting the ire of the PCB. "The top board officials are not pleased with the tweet sent out by Fakhar and relevant persons are having a word with him about it," a well-informed PCB source said. "It's concerning to hear suggestions about dropping Babar Azam. India didn't bench Virat Kohli during his rough stretch between 2020 and 2023, when he averaged 19.33, 28.21, and 26.50, respectively. "If we are considering sidelining our premier batsman, arguably the best Pakistan has ever produced, it could send a deeply negative message across the team. There is still time to avoid pressing the panic button; we should focus on sa...

T20 WC Live: Netherlands Face Sri Lanka In A Must-Win Game For Dutch

Sri Lanka vs Netherlands LIVE Updates, T20 World Cup 2024: Netherlands may be out of the 2024 T20 World Cup even before their match against Sri Lanka ends, if Bangladesh beat Nepal. However, the Dutch need to beat Sri Lanka by a healthy scoreline to keep any hopes of qualifying to the Super 8 stage alive. The game also offers Sri Lanka a chance to get their first win, in what has been a hugely disappointing tournament for the 2014 champions. They would likely finish bottom of their group if they fail to win.
