<p>Group B have seen some riveting contests between Royal Challengers Bangalore, Kolkata Knight Riders, South Australia Redbacks, Warriors and Somerset, and all of them have a chance to qualify for the semifinals.<br /><br />Here are the possibilities in Group B:<br /><br />Kolkata Knight Riders (4 pts): They have finished their league engagements, with a net run-rate of +0.306. For KKR to qualify will require a series of results to go their way, espcially considering that RCB (2 pts) and Warriors (4) both have better net run rates than the Kolkatans.<br /><br />RCB (2): They have a very good chance of qualifying if they win against Redbacks because their NRR will remain higher than KKR. Warriors have a better NRR, but if they lose to Somerset by a small margin, they will still remain second in the table in the event of a tight victory for RCB.<br /><br />Warriors (4): Warriors need a win or a wash-out to be certain to advance. If they lose, then they will have to ensure that the NRR doesn’t fall too much from their current +0.592, the best in the group. <br /><br />Somerset (3): After their huge 51-run defeat against RCB, the English side’s NRR is down to a poor -1.133. A win against Warriors will take them through, while defeat or a washout will end their journey.<br /><br />Redbacks (3): Their NRR is a modest -0.775, and only a win will assure them of a place in the semis, regardless of the result in the other match.<br /><br />It’s therefore everything to play for on the final day of league action. For some teams, victory alone will not do. The calculators in the dug-out will have a rough ride!</p>
