Here is how the last round of the 4-Day Series can effect the relegation battle and who will play in the Final.
Final Qualification (Top 2 Teams)
- Lions (1st, 110.14 points)
- Win = Guaranteed place in the final.
- Draw/Loss = Can still qualify, but risk being overtaken if others win with enough bonus points.
- Titans (2nd, 94.10 points)
- Win with good bonus points = Could overtake Lions if they don’t win.
- Loss/Draw with few points = Risk missing out if Dolphins, WP, or Boland win big.
- Dolphins (3rd, 91.50 points)
- Win with strong bonus points = Could reach final if Lions or Titans slip.
- Loss/Draw = Unlikely to qualify unless others also fail.
- Western Province (4th, 88.84 points) & Boland (5th, 85.96 points)
- Need big wins + Lions and Titans to lose/draw to have a chance.
Relegation Battle (Bottom 2 Teams)
- Knights (6th, in relegation zone)
- Must win against Lions to have any chance of avoiding relegation.
- Even if they win, they need at least two of Titans, Dolphins, WP, or Boland to lose with few bonus points to reach 4th place.
- Warriors (7th, also in relegation danger)
- Must win big and hope the Dragons (above them) lose with few bonus points.
- If Knights reach 4th place, Warriors will be relegated.
- Dragons (Above Warriors, but not fully safe)
- A loss with few bonus points could drop them below Warriors, leading to relegation.
- Western Province (4th, but an unlikely relegation risk)
- If they lose heavily and other results go against them, they could drop to 7th and be relegated.
