IPL 2025 Updated Points Table: DC stay afloat in playoff race as SRH knocked out; here's how the standings shape up

The IPL 2025 clash between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) concluded without a result due to persistent rainfall at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on May 6. This washout carries significant consequences for the playoff scenarios, as it keep Delhi Capitals' hopes alive while officially ending Sunrisers Hyderabad's campaign.

Following the abandonment of the match, Delhi Capitals maintained their fifth position in the points table. They now hold a record of six wins out of eleven games, accumulating a total of 13 points and possessing a Net Run Rate (NRR) of +0.362. The no-result proved to be a more substantial setback for Sunrisers Hyderabad, who have moved to the eighth position with only three victories in their eleven matches and a considerably lower NRR of -1.192, thus confirming their elimination from the playoff race.

At the summit of the points table, Royal Challengers Bangalore continue to hold the leading position with eight wins and three losses, maintaining a strong NRR of +0.482. Closely trailing them in second place are the Punjab Kings, who also have just three losses from their eleven games. Their total of 15 points and an NRR of +0.376 place them just behind the current leaders in the standings.

Mumbai Indians are currently positioned third in the standings with seven wins and four defeats, totaling 14 points. Notably, they possess the most favorable NRR in the league at +1.274, which could serve as a crucial tiebreaker as the playoff contention intensifies.

Closely following in fourth place are Gujarat Titans, also with 14 points but having played only ten matches. Their strong NRR of +0.867 provides them with a degree of comfort and an additional game in hand compared to most other teams vying for a playoff spot.

Kolkata Knight Riders are still in the playoff mix with 11 points from their eleven matches. However, they will need to deliver strong performances in their remaining fixtures to maintain their chances of advancing. Meanwhile, the Lucknow Super Giants faced a setback with their recent loss to Punjab, leaving them with 10 points from eleven games and a less favorable NRR of -0.469, which could prove to be a disadvantage if the playoff qualification comes down to net run rates.
