Dammy, you are saying that I have done the basic calculations wrong, see the logic of my earlier and the ipl points table to find what mistake you have done.You have forgotten the fact that Chennai has negative run rate and that will send them out of ipl even if they have the points.In case of tie with mumbai,chennai will be out as run rate of mumbai is superior to Chennai.As for your first question, Iam from Chennai, absolutely disappointed of my team's performance and Iam doing an unbiased analysis of the Chennai team performance without any regional affiliation towards them.
