After defeating the Kolkata Knight Riders in a nail-biting game yesterday, the Lucknow Super Giants have officially qualified for the IPL 2022 playoffs.
But with only 4 matches to go in the league stage, and five teams still in contention, it becomes a tough topic to predict even for mathematicians who will be those final two teams apart from GT and LSG to qualify for the playoffs.
However, to clear this confusion, everyone’s favorite TV presenter and commentator Harsha Bhogle expressed his views on the playoff scenarios and predicted who will the final four teams heading into the playoffs.
Harsha believes that Rajasthan Royals will win their final game against CSK and will finish their league’s campaign on second spot. While Lucknow Super Giants will end their run on third spot.
For the fourth position, for which 4 teams are on the line, Harsha feel that Delhi Capitals has a better chance if they beat Mumbai Indians on Saturday.
With #GT sealing the top spot this season, the race for the remaining 3 places looks like a race to the last league game.
