SRH have 10 points from 12 matches and NRR of +0.396. They will end up with 14 points if they win both the matches remaining against RCB and MI. But the win against DC have boosted their NRR which can pretty help them move into the play-offs.
RR have 10 points from 12 matches and NRR -0.505. They will have to win the remaining two clashes against KXIP and KKR with huge margins to increase the net run-rate.
