New Delhi. The Indian Premier League is also amazing in 2025. There is someone win and loss here and the celebration is feeling elsewhere. And this has happened in three consecutive matches, not one or two. Even on Saturday night, when Delhi Capitals defeated Punjab Kings, they did not get any benefit from it but the Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians blossomed. Delhi’s victory has opened the top-2 battle in the IPL point table for everyone.
Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals competed in IPL on Saturday. Punjab has already qualified for the Kings Playoffs and when Delhi has been out of this race. Despite this, this match was not one or two, it was important for the entire five teams. If the Punjab team had won this match, it would have reached the top in the point table with 19 points. This would have led to Mumbai Indians out of the top-2 race. RCB’s expectations were also shocked. It did not happen. The Punjab Kings team also lost this match by scoring 206 runs. Delhi defeated him by 6 wickets. He did not benefit much from this victory of Delhi. Punjab Kings also felt the shock.

If Punjab and RCB wins their last match, then both of them will get 19 points. In such a situation, both teams can stay in the top-2 only when Gujarat lost their last match.

Mumbai’s path is not impossible but impossible
