If they can get seven victories, they will amass 16 points and will compete fiercely in the postseason. Six victories in the nine games left will keep them in the running if things do not go as planned. It is noteworthy that following a 106-run defeat against the Kolkata Knight Riders, their Net Run Rate took a serious hit. Since their NRR is -1.370, they will have a difficult time qualifying if they manage to score less than 14 points.
