IPL 2024 Playoffs Race After DC vs RR: Delhi Capitals Shoot Up to 5th, Rajasthan Royals Stuck at 2nd

Delhi Capitals have arisen from the ashes of the early season to shoot back into playoff contention as they mustered a sensational 20-run win over Rajasthan Royals in Delhi.

DC’s win shot them up the table to fifth spot right above LSG due to their better NRR, as they even out their record with 6 wins and 6 losses so far, to stand on 12 points.

Rajasthan Royals though missed out on their opportunity to reclaim the top spot away from KKR as their third loss of the season drew them level on points with the table-toppers but fell to second due to their lower NRR.

CSK stand still in third spot for now with 12 points, right above both SRH, LSG and DC, all of whom also stand at 12 points so far, thanks to their better NRR.

SRH and LSG stand fourth and sixth respectively. Lucknow has completed 11 outings this season with their loss to KKR, while SRH threw away the game they had in hand.

But, tomorrow’s matchup between both sides will prove to be a huge difference maker in the playoff race, as the winner will shoot up to third spot.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru, who have 8 points from 11 fixtures so far stand seventh, ahead Punjab Kings (8th), Mumbai Indians (9th) and Gujarat Titans (10th) who all have amassed 8 points this season and are separated by net run rate.
