Path for U Mumba to get into playoffs

U Mumba needs just 1 point to get into the playoffs. They and Telugu Titans have the same points, but U Mumba has a better overall score difference. U Mumba’s last match is against Bengal Warriorz, led by their former captain Fazel Atrachali. They need to make sure they don’t lose by more than 7 points to get at least 1 point in the standings, or they should avoid losing by 48 points or more to keep their better score difference over the Titans.

Tough road for Telugu Titans but chances alive

The Telugu Titans have a slim chance of getting into the playoffs. For this to happen, Bengal Warriorz must beat U Mumba by 48 points or more, so the Titans can have a better score difference in the league table.
