✅ Key Takeaways from the Updated Standings
- PBKS Rise to 4th: With 11 points in 9 games, PBKS are just one point behind the table-toppers. Their Net Run Rate (+0.177) keeps them in contention for a top-two finish with five league matches remaining.
- KKR Remain 7th: KKR move to 7 points in 9 matches — the abandoned game does little to revive their playoff hopes. They’ll now need to win nearly all of their remaining games and depend on NRR swings.
- Top 3 Unchanged: GT, DC, and RCB remain the top three, all tied on 12 points with only NRR separating them. Gujarat Titans (GT) continue to lead thanks to a massive +1.104 NRR.
