How can the kings of Punjab still end between the first two?

Punjab’s fate is based on the result of the final round of the league matches. Here are the scenarios that could be seen with a first two end:

Earn against Mumbai Indians: Punjab must defeat Mumbai’s Indians in his last league game. A victory would take them to 19 points, strengthening their claim for a higher place.

Other results to see:

If the RCB is lost in LuckNow Super Giants (LSG) and GT beat Chennai Super Kings, PUNJAB will end between the first two places next to GT.

Alternatively, if the RCB wins, but GT is lost to CSK, PUNJAB and RCB will end with 19 points, and the clean execution rate could decide second place.

If the Punjab is lost to me: they will be out of containment for an end of two first places, regardless of the other results and will have to settle for a place in the eliminator.
