Telugu Titans may not finish in the top four

The Telugu Titans lost their third position on the table, which they had held on to for a long time. They dropped to the fourth position with this defeat, following a huge 30-point win for the Bengaluru Bulls.

Notably, U Mumba also have 20 points from 17 games. With the Bulls moving to the third spot and almost confirming their place in the top four, the fight for the final spot will now be between U Mumba and the Titans.

However, U Mumba have a game left. A win in their next match will take them to 22 points and above the Titans. Therefore, the Titans will now rest their hopes of making the top four on other results. They will need U Mumba to lose their final league stage match.
