Not the result needed but played well. Some players are still inconsistent. Need to win the next match.

Despite the defeat, Jaipur Pink Panthers qualified for the top eight. As Haryana Steelers beat Gujarat Giants in the other game, it resulted in the Panthers sealing a playoffs birth.

They are seventh on the table with 16 points from 17 matches.

U Mumba keep top four hopes alive

Meanwhile, U Mumba, who have already qualified for the top eight, kept their hopes of making the top four alive with this win. They are now fourth on the table with 20 points from 17 matches.

Puneri Paltan and Dabang Delhi have already sealed the top two spots. That leaves the Telugu Titans, Bengaluru Bulls, Haryana Steelers, and U Mumba fighting for the remaining two spots in the top four.

The Titans have 20 points and a game left, while the Bulls have 18 points and two matches left. Haryana have 18 points with one match remaining. The Mumbai-based franchise will have to beat UP Yoddhas in their final game on Thursday, October 23.

They will have a better chance of finishing in the top four with 22 points. A defeat will mean that they will have to depend on other results to go their way.
