IPL 2024 points table update: DC’s 19-run win over LSG helps RR secure playoff spot

Post At: May 15/2024 03:10AM

IPL Points Table 2024, Team Rankings:  Delhi Capitals’ 19-run win over Lucknow Super Giants has hurt the chances of both these teams qualifying for the Playoffs.

The result at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, however, was good news for Rajasthan Royals as they booked a playoff spot with two games in hand.

DC, after playing all their games, rose to fifth on the points table and are on level with the Sunrisers Hyderabad (fourth) and the Chennai Super Kings (third) with 14 points. But the 2020 runner ups have a dismal net run rate (-0.377). SRH have to lose both their matches by nearly 200 runs combined for DC to stand any chance.

LSG on the other hand, were dealt a serious blow after their third loss in a row and remain seventh in the table with one game to go and only 12 points in hand. They face the Mumbai Indians in their last game of the league stage and have an even worse net run rate than Delhi (-0.787). LSG’s had a realistic hope of advancing by winning their last two matches but with a match to go and a poor NRR, their playoff hopes are all but gone too.

The two teams will also be eagerly awaiting the result of the fixture between Chennai Super Kings and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, both of whom stand a chance to make it to the Playoffs. For the two spots left to be finalised (KKR have already booked a Playoffspot), a total of five teams still mathematically remain in contention.
