This marked their sixth loss of the season and left the five-time champions languishing at the bottom of the points table with just four points from eight games. But while the situation looks bleak, all is not lost for MS Dhoni라이브 바카라 men — at least not mathematically.
How Can CSK Still Qualify For Playoffs?
CSK라이브 바카라 path to the Playoffs is razor-thin, but still possible. With six games left in the league stage, Chennai can reach a maximum of 16 points if they manage to win all their remaining matches. Historically, 16 points have been enough to secure qualification in most seasons.
Even with 14 points, there's precedent — Royal Challengers Bengaluru made it to the Playoffs with that tally last season, albeit with a strong Net Run Rate (NRR). For CSK, though, that라이브 바카라 a major concern. They currently have the worst NRR in the competition at -1.392, and any route to the final four would require not just wins, but big-margin victories.
The loss to MI highlighted many of CSK라이브 바카라 ongoing struggles. After being put in to bat, they posted a modest 176 for 5. Shivam Dube continued his good form with a brisk 50, while Ravindra Jadeja anchored the innings with an unbeaten 53 off 35 balls.
There was some promise in debutant Ayush Mhatre라이브 바카라 composed 32-run knock, but the total was never enough on a Wankhede pitch that offered little to the bowlers.
Mumbai made light work of the chase. Ryan Rickelton gave them a quick start with 24 off 19, but it was the unbeaten 114-run partnership between Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav that sealed the game with 26 balls to spare.
Rohit remained unbeaten on 76 off 45 balls, while Suryakumar dazzled with a 68-run knock that included the winning six off Matheesha Pathirana.
