If the above four previous situations happen, then Delhi won’t have to bother about the net run rate, but to stay on the safer side, they should work on this factor as well.

Last night’s huge defeat against Mumbai has heavily damaged their net run rate and currently, it is at -0.660. If Delhi win their remaining three matches, then automatically their net run rate gets a boost.

Daredevils should aim for a positive net run rate which will further consolidate their position. If Punjab finish with seven wins then between Delhi and Punjab, the one with the better net run rate will move ahead and currently, Punjab’s net run rate is at +0.292.

So, Delhi have to keep the factor of the net run rate in mind as well. They don’t need big margin victories but at the same time, they cannot afford all three games to go till the end.
