Delhi is through to the finals. Chennai in all likelihood is through. That leaves 2 berths and 4 serious contenders - Hyderabad, Rajasthan, Punjab and Bangalore.


If you are a Hyderabad Deccan Chargers fan: There are two ways that they can reach the semis.
a)They beat bangalore in the 56th and last match of the preliminary round.
b) Match 53 Kolkata Knight Riders Beat Rajasthan Royals & Match 54 Chennai super Kings beat Punjab Kings XI
. If case b happens then match 56 is of no consequence for Hyderabad.


For Rajasthan, Punjab and Bangalore - they have to win their 1 remaining match. The Net run rate will decide the winner.
