Finch was the only top-order KKR batsman to reach double-figures. They were all out for 101, losing by 75.
Tonight's game is Hyderabad v Bangalore. If RCB wins, that puts them two wins ahead of the chasing pack and would go close to settling the top 4. If SRH wins, 4th spot will be up for grabs and there will still be 4 teams who might snatch that last playoff spot.
Two very one-sided games, in the end. Bangalore won the early game, making 3/192, despite Virat's latest first-ball duck (Du Plessis 73*, Patidar 48, Maxy 33) and then bowled out Hyderabad for 125. Williamson was run out without facing, from the first ball of the match and then Maxy bowled the other opener in the same over. Hazlewood bowled his 4 overs and took 2/17.
In the late game, CSK made 6/208 and then bowled out the Capitals for 117. Mitchell Marsh "top" scored for the Capitals with 25. Warner made 19.
Bangalore winning and Delhi losing puts a two-win gap between 4th and 5th. RCB has played an extra game but the chasing pack all have 3 games to try to make up the gap. Really, the final 4 looks settled. The order might change but Lucknow and Gujurat (each 8 wins) and Rajasthan and Bangalore (each 7 wins) look to be heading for the playoffs.
The playoffs are 1 v 2 - winner to final, loser with a second chance against the winner of 3 v 4. So, if you finish first or second, you've got to lose 2 playoffs in a row to miss the final.
