IPL 2025 Points Table: Team Rankings After PBKS vs DC Match

Shreyas Iyer-led Punjab Kings (PBKS) faced a big blow to their top-two hopes after losing to Delhi Capitals on May 24. With just one league game left, they now need to beat Mumbai Indians in their final match and hope other results go their way to stay in the race for a strong playoff spot.

PBKS have 17 points from 13 games and just one match left, against Mumbai Indians on May 26. Their loss to Delhi Capitals has made things tricky, as their chances for a top-two finish now depend on RCB losing to Lucknow Super Giants and PBKS winning their own final game. It's a tight race, and every result matters now.

PBKS still have a shot at finishing in the top two, but they must beat Mumbai Indians in their final game. That would take them to 19 points, but their fate also depends on RCB dropping points against LSG. While PBKS currently have a better Net Run Rate, a big RCB win could flip that around. So, PBKS need to win well and hope RCB either loses or doesn't win by too much.

Punjab Kings now find themselves in a tough spot after losing to Delhi. To have any shot at a top-two finish, they need to beat Mumbai Indians and hope RCB lose to Lucknow. With 17 points, PBKS can still make it, but it’s no longer in their hands alone—they'll be hoping a few other results go their way too.
