After defending a modest 111 against KKR earlier this month, PBKs should have liked his chances of defending 201 runs against the reigning champions. However, Rain played for Spoilsport and got a premature end to the game. KKR was 7/0 after 1 when the game was stopped and was finally called.
Playoffs qualification scenario for PBKs:
The PBK will feel disappointed after the rain costs a crucial point in such an important phase of the tournament. However, they are still in a good position and are looking for them to end in the first four places for the first time since 2014.
They are currently in fourth place on the point table with 11 points after 9 games. They have won five games so far and lost three, while the game against KKR was washed. They will play five more league games this season and are likely to qualify for playoffs if they manage to win two more games.
Two more wins will bring their points to 15, which will be enough for a final of the first four places. However, they would like to win at least three games to ensure that their qualification does not depend on the net execution rate.
The way the tournament has come to PBKs so far, will not only guide a place in the playoffs, but also a first place. Will give them two opportunities to reserve a place in the final. The PBK still has to win the IPL and will be desperate to go all the way this year.
