I just read on the main international subs that A1 models are catching fires unexpectedly. Some are even asking for another recall.
Has anyone in India faced this issue? Due to our super hot weather, I'd assume we are at greater risk of fires.
GT defeated the top 4 teams in the row to get to the top spot after they had only six games left and were stranded at number 5.
Almost all top 7-8 teams have a realistic chance to get in the knock-outs. Only MI and LSG have no hope. KKR needs miracles after miracles but still in the race.
KKR and DC have both five games left. Also both have two games against each other left. KKR is one pt below due to that washed-out game. Technically, they both can pull it off but seems unlikely.
GT doesn't have to rely on NRR though. They beat RCB and PBKS, the top 2 teams and their next two matches are against RR and SRH, so if they can beat all top4 teams, their NRR will not matter much, as while they gained 2 points from each match, all their main competition will be losing those 2 pts.
On top of it, their last two games are KKR and CSK, both could be handful but still are easier games compared to others.
SRH is screwed though, they have PBKS, GT, CSK and RCB next up. At least two of those games are against eventual table toppers and both GT and CSK can give them a tough fight due to their balanced bowling attacks.
RR has the easiest on the paper route: GT, DC, LSG and MI. They are bound to win 2-3 or even all four of these, and will have 16 or more pts easily.
The real party pooper are CSK here, they have an off-chance to qualify as they have five games left still. If they win 4 out of 5, they will have 16 pts. Tough but not impossible since two of those games are LSG back to back, lol. Seems Jay Bhai is also a Thala fan.
What are your top4 predictions? Mine is PBKS, RCB, RR and GT.
