Guys,
Based on the 3 more games left for us and other teams and also including abandoned games we are 100% into the platinum league of 32 teams. We qualify as 4th place team at the worst from our group and 2nd place at the best.If I read the rules right then the next round is a fresh start with two wins expected from 3 games to progress to platinum cup knockouts. I think we should utilize the last 3 games to bat first and put pressure on opposition. At the moment, our batting is still bit jittery and we need to focus on it as well as our running between wickets before the big games ahead.What say you folks?

i thought we still needed to win 1 game atleast to be there.
No Kartik, we have not made into Platinum 100%!
This is the scenario:
1 Win: If we win 1 out of the remaining 3 matches, we need to have a better DRR to make it to platinum, bcos there is a possible scenario (can share it when we meet) where three teams might tie at 28 points.
2 Wins: Guaranteed entry in Platinum!!
See it is possible we might still make it to platinum even if we loose all three matches, but it is not 100% guaranteed. & also my calculation above is for worst case scenario (or rather there is atleast a possible scenario) where we can still miss the platinum rounds if we dont win matches in upcoming games and other platinum contenders in our group do better!
Adding to both your comments, we need to go into every game to win. The minute we get complacent, we will be playing in the silver cup playoffs!!!
First we are not in platinum group.
We will be playing for Platinum qualifiers.
If we do badly in the qualifiers, we will be pushed to Gold group.
We have to win all the remaining games
1. The better points we have, we will be grouped with lesser teams.
2. It builds our confidence and attitude.
3. Yuva has 2 abandoned games. There is a reserve week. If Yuva looses to "Cupertino Cougars" then the equation becomes complicated.
Lets win the next 2 games and remember that next round is platinum qualifiers...

To be clear...
We are in Round-1.
Top 32 from Round-1 will play for Platinum qualifiers (Round-2A)
Bottom 32 from Round-1 will play for Gold qualifiers (Round-2B)
Top 16 from Round-2A will play for Platinum cup(KO).
Bottom 16 in Round-2A will play for Gold cup(KO).
Top 16 from Round-2B will play for Silver cup(KO).
Bottom 16 in Round-2B will play for position.
