With CSK and RCB to play against each other in their last league game, the former can finish with 16 points while the latter can finish with 14 points. If CSK wins the game, RCB will be knocked out. DC and LSG can also finish on 14 points each.
In fact, LSG can finish with 16 points as well if they win their remaining games including one against DC. As far as SRH are concerned, their fate is still in their hands. They can finish the league stage on 18 points and can make it to the playoffs. However, Harbhajan Singh believes SRH won't be able to make it to the next stage.
