IPL 9 is now getting towards its business end when all teams are closing in to get to the playoffs stage. Rising Pune Supergiants and the Kings XI Punjab are the only teams that are out of the race for the playoffs. RPS will take on KXIP today at Vizag. All other teams have their chances to make it to the playoffs. Delhi Daredevils defeated the Sunrisers Hyderabad at Raipur and have managed to stay alive in the tournament. Sunrisers, on the other hand, will have to wait another day to make it to the top two.

Mumbai Indians will clash with the Gujarat Lions tonight. If Gujarat Lions win today, they will make it to the top two. If Mumbai Indians win, they will keep themselves alive in the tournament and will have to wait for the results of the tomorrow’s game.
