* Third placed CSK have a nearly 91% chance of finishing among the top four on points, singly or jointly. Their best case scenario is tied for second with one to three other teams.
* SRH have a nearly 97% chance of making it to the top four slots on points, but only a 3% chance of tying for third spot with two other teams (KKR and RR).
* RCB, now in fifth place, have a better than 40% chance of making it to the top four on points. The best they can do, however, is tied for third spot with three to five other teams. The good news for them is that they currently have the best net run rate among all of those.
* Sixth placed DC have a 31.3% chance of making it to the top four slots on points, singly or jointly. Their best case scenario is tied for third with three to five other teams.
* Seventh placed LSG have a little over 56% chance of making it to the top four on points thanks to the extra game in hand. Their best case scenario is tied for second with one to three other teams.
* Eighth placed GT have a less than 16% chance of making it to the top four on points. Their best case scenario is tied for third with four or five other teams and their net run rate at the moment does not make that an attractive prospect.
