There are 8 games remaining in the 2010 IPL season. Based on the possible outcomes of the remaining matches, it is estimated that: 1) There is a 25% chance that the net run rate will not be a factor in determining the top 4 semifinalists. 2) The most likely scenario is that 2 teams will qualify for the semifinals, while the other 3 spots will be battled for by 3 additional teams on net run rate. 3) For all 8 teams to remain in semifinal contention, certain results need to occur over the next few matches. If those results do not happen, the number of teams in contention will be reduced.
