IPL 2024 Points Table: KKR consolidate their 2nd position with solid victory, DC suffer major setback in playoff race; check here

The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) clinched their sixth win against the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 2024 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). This victory has consolidated KKR's position in second place on the points table. KKR has won six out of the nine matches they have played so far. Meanwhile, DC has played 11 matches and won only a handful, which positions them in the sixth spot on the points table. With just three matches left before the playoffs, DC's chances of qualifying are becoming increasingly slim.

Defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) currently hold the fourth and fifth positions, respectively. CSK recently secured a win against SRH by 78 runs on April 28. Both teams have each won five out of their nine matches.

The Lucknow Super Giants are scheduled to face the five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) in Lucknow on April 30.
