New Delhi: The ongoing season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has entered its business end, and the race to the playoffs is getting intense. Delhi Capitals (DC) beat Punjab Kings (PBKS) by three wickets at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala in their recent fixture and have stayed alive in the race to the playoffs.
The team currently stands at the seventh position in the standings with 10 points from 12 matches and a poor net run rate of -0.993. The franchises’ chances to advance into the playoffs are extremely slim and depend on highly specific results. So, how DC can qualify for the playoffs is a question discussed amongst the fans.
The first and foremost thing the team must do is win all of their remaining league matches; as a result, they will conclude the league stage with 14 points. Also, because of their heavily negative NNR, they have to win matches by huge run margins.
DC have two tough matches to go. They will play against the Rajasthan Royals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on May 17 in the first match. In the next contest, they will square off against the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens on May 24.
Last season, DC missed a spot in the playoffs by the barest of margins. They finished in fourth place with 15 points from 14 fixtures, while the Mumbai Indians finished in fourth position in the standings with 16 points. On the basis of a better net run rate (+1.142) as compared to the DC +0.011.
