IPL 2016: Predicted playoff line up

3rd – Gujarat Lions

The Lions’ over reliance on their openers has cost them

Remaining fixtures –

Opponent	Venue
Sunrisers Hyderabad	Hyderabad
Kolkata Knight Riders	Kolkata
Royal Challengers Bangalore	Bangalore
Kolkata Knight Riders	Rajkot
Mumbai Indians	Rajkot

Gujarat Lions do not have the easiest run, as you can see. All their games are against teams that are battling for playoff spots and they have two games against their closest rivals, the Knight Riders. A few weaknesses have been discovered in their squad lately, at the top of the list being the failure to fire when their top order doesn’t perform.

They should do well, but we seem them losing their place at the top of the table and finishing third. Expect Gujarat to pick up three wins in their remaining fixtures; they finish lower in the table due to their low nett run rate.

FINAL POINT TALLY – 18 points
