Two games have passed since I last published the scenarios.
Though both these games don’t have a direct impact on the qualification of the
Super Kings, they do decide what should happen in the next matches for us to
qualify.
One match went in a way we wanted, the Sixers have won and
qualified for the semis. The other went in a way no one expected. A rain hit
abandoned match to no one’s good. So, how well this could go now? The point
table as of now is

The Super Kings are at the bottom of the table. But still
with a bright chance of qualifying considering that none of the teams other
than the Sixers and Lions have won a game.
The future fixtures are very important. Here is what we
want.

Date
|
Game
|
Winner
|
Reason
|
|
Oct 20
|
Lions vs Yorks

Yorks
|
If Lions win, that will seal Group B
|

Oct 20
|
CSK vs Mumbai
|
CSK
|
This is a knock-out if Yorks win against the
Lions
|

Oct 22
|
CSK vs Yorks
|
CSK
|
This one and we are through
|
|
Oct 22
|
Sixers vs Mumbai
|
Sixers
|
So that CSK stays in comfort zone
|
The games on October 20 are the most crucial. If Lions beat
Yorks in the first game, then they will go through to the semi-finals
eliminating all the other 3 teams. So, not just Chennai, Mumbai Indians will
also hope that Lions loses the game. And for Yorks, it’s a do or die encounter.
But considering the performance so far, this result is highly unlikely and will
be a miracle happening.
If we get a favourable result in the first game, then the
second game is knock-out. The losing team have to get their way out. So, one
IPL team will be out of action tomorrow. The remaining two matches are just
stories. CSK beat Yorks and goes through.
The final points table will look like this

The task is not so easy, but with the luck that we always
had, this will surely bound to happen.
Whistles!
