Results for: Playoffs Race

Punjab Kings emerged victorious over Rajasthan Royals in a thrilling IPL clash in Guwahati, securing a five-wicket win. Sam Curran showcased his all-round brilliance, scoring a vital fifty and claiming two crucial wickets. Despite the absence of star player Jos Buttler, Rajasthan Royals initially struggled before Riyan Parag’s 48 provided some respite. However, Punjab Kings’ composed chase, led by Curran’s 63 not out and Jitesh Sharma’s 22, sealed their triumph. The result further dents Rajasthan Royals’ chances of securing a top-two finish in the group stage, while Punjab Kings’ playoff aspirations remain extinguished.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) suffered a humiliating 10-wicket loss to the Sunrisers Hyderabad, but they are still alive in the playoffs race. They will look to boost their chances with a win over the Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday. Both teams have two matches remaining, with LSG needing victories to secure a playoff berth. DC’s playoff aspirations were dented by a defeat to the Royal Challengers Bangalore, which prevented them from finishing in the top four of the table.
