IPL 2024 points table update: RR remain second but dealt blow to a top-two finish by PBKS as SRH lurk behind

Post At: May 16/2024 03:10AM

IPL Points Table 2024, Team Rankings: The Rajasthan Royals may have qualified for the playoffs as a result of Delhi’s win over Lucknow but the first-ever IPL winners were handed a big blow to their hopes of a top-two position after Punjab Kings inched past them in a low scoring affair by five wickets. As a result of the defeat, RR now have to rely on Sunrisers Hyderabad losing at least one of their remaining two games to forge their path to Qualifier 1.

On Tuesday, Delhi Capitals’ 19-run win over Lucknow Super Giants has hurt the chances of both these teams qualifying for the Playoffs.

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.
