IPL 2018: What can each team do in the last week of league stage?

Modified May 14, 2018 12:12 IST

Rajasthan Royals

Jos Buttler has been going all guns blazing

After winning just three out of the first nine matches, Rajasthan seemed like they were almost out of the tournament. But thanks to five consecutive fifties from Jos Buttler, they now have three wins in three matches and are now with 12 points alongside Kings XI Punjab and Kolkata Knight Riders.

By winning the last two games, Rajasthan Royals will directly qualify for the playoffs. They would not want to take the risk of losing even a single game as their net run rate is second lowest in the tournament.

The Rajasthan Royals will face Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore in two must-win games.

Points: 12 from 12 games

Matches left:

vs Kolkata Knight Riders, Kolkata, 15 May 2018

vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, Jaipur, 19 May 2018
