Post At: May 19/2024 03:10AM

IPL Points Table 2024, Team Rankings: Royal Challengers Bengaluru shook off a horror start to their IPL campaign with 6 straight wins in the business-end of the tournament to qualify for the playoffs as the 4th-placed team. On Sunday, needing to beat Chennai Super Kings by at least 18 runs, the RCB bowlers stood up for the team and defeated the 5-time champions by 27 runs. CSK, meanwhile, were eliminated.

Sunrisers Hyderabad became the third team to qualify for the playoffs after their match against Gujarat Titans was called off on Thursday due to incessant rain in Hyderabad. With both teams sharing a point apiece, SRH temporarily moved to 3rd position but might come down to the 4th if Chennai beat Bengaluru on Saturday. The Sunrisers now have 15 points from 13 matches with a game in hand and in order for them to finish in the Top 2, they have to beat Punjab Kings on Sunday and also hope that Rajasthan Royals slip up against Kolkata Knight Riders.

Lucknow Super Giants ended their season with a win and consigned Mumbai Indians to a bottom-placed finish after defeating them by 18 runs at the Wankhede on Thursday. LSG, meanwhile, finished the season in the 6th spot.
