Scoring Rate: 876 / 97.5 = 8.985
Conceding Rate: 793 / 99.167 = 7.996

NRR = 8.985 โˆ’ 7.996 = +0.989 โ†’ Adjusted to +0.847 after rain-shortened match (Overs adjusted)

Possible but unlikely

Scenario B: Thunderbolts Lose Next

Thunderbolts: 4W-2L = 8 pts
Plano Strikers: 5W-1L = 10 pts (if they win)
