  A warm welcome to the 53rd match of IPL 2020. Only three league games remain after this. This is definitely the last match for Chennai Super Kings but whether this will be the last match for the Kings XI Punjab side, we will know only after 40 overs. Equation is simple. If Kings XI Punjab lose, they are out. If they win, then they will have to hope Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals do not win big in the match against each other and that Sunrisers Hyderabad lose their next game to Mumbai Indians. If Kings XI Punjab win, looking at their NRR which is better than Royal Challengers Bangalore, Kolkata Knight Riders, Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals, all these four teams would be praying that Kings XI Punjab lose today so that their chances become easier.
