IPL 2017: 5 ways how Delhi Daredevils can still make it to the playoffs

#4 No change in the top three positions

Delhi will hope the top three keep their spots

Another key element for Delhi to qualify for the playoffs is the performance of the top three teams. Currently, Mumbai Indians are at the top followed by Rising Pune Supergiant and Kolkata Knight Riders.

Importantly, all these three teams have seven or more wins and hence Delhi cannot go ahead of them. So, Delhi should hope that these teams stay where they are and in fact consolidate their positions.

By having solidity at the top three, it becomes easy for Delhi to acquire the fourth spot. If some other team enters the top three then automatically one from KKR or Pune will slip to number four and as mentioned earlier, Dehli cannot go ahead of any of the three teams.
