11 May / 2015(317)…..Indian Proportion level(IPL8): Contest more competitive

                            2014

At this time(end of 47th game)last year in IPL7. The table was dominated by two teams  KPXI & CSK…

IPL 2014 Mt Win PTS
KPXI 11 9 18
CSK 12 8 16
KKR 12 7 14
RR 12 7 14
RCB 12 5 10
SRH 12 5 10
MI 11 4 8
DDR 12 2 4

…and yet for play-off KKR, & MI qualified along with KPXI & CSK.

Kolkata won the tournament eventually..but interestingly Mumbai who were second last in the table(above)won their last 3 games to accumulate enough points to qualify for the play-off.  Teams like RR & RCB missed the opportunity to qualify.

                            2015

This year, same two teams are at the top(CSK & KKR), and from last year’s table, very little chance(Mumbai) and no chance(Punjab) have to qualify for play-off.

At this junction(end of 47th game) RCB, RR, SRH & MI(outside chance)are vying for two spots for play-off.   In the remaining games Mumbai has tough opponents to contest (KKR & SRH), and Hyderabad in 3 remaining games has (KPXI, RCB and MI) to contest. These two teams have outside chance to qualify in the play-off.

Bangalore, Chennai & Kolkata looks favorites to top the table.

The contest is more competitive this year, as technically six teams can qualify for the play-off!

Table at end of 47th game –

IPL 2015 Mt Win PTS
CSK 12 8 16
KKR 12 7 15
