Delhi Daredevils and Kings XI Punjab have run out of all their chances to make it into the playoffs as other 4 teams are playing a race for the 2 playoffs’ berths. Three of those four teams are getting ready to play in the 2 league games, which are going to be taken place on Sunday. Fixtures: 4:00 PM IST – RCB vs DD; M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore. 8:00 PM IST – SRH vs MI; Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad.

For ending in top 2: –> KKR cannot finish in top 2 anymore. To get eliminated: –> If SRH-MI game doesn’t get washed out and RCB doesn’t lose by the huge margin as mentioned above,, they are out of IPL 2015. Sunrisers Hyderabad: SRH 2015.
