The trend of the top teams losing to the bottom six teams continued in the 66th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Saturday (May 24) as well. Delhi Capitals, in their final league stage clash, defeated Punjab Kings by chasing down the 207-run target in the final over to end their campaign on a high.

Sameer Rizvi, Mustafizur Rahman and Karun Nair were the heroes for them as they finished IPL 2025 in fifth place. They ended the season with seven wins, six losses and one no result, accumulating 15 points. Lucknow Super Giants and Kolkata Knight Riders cannot go past them in the points table even if they win their respective final matches of the season.
Meanwhile, despite the loss, Punjab Kings remain in second place but this loss has affected their chances of qualifying for the top two. However, they are not out of it either but they would need one of the results to go their way. After playing 13 matches, PBKS have won eight and lost four matches so far and have 17 points to show for their efforts.
They will face Mumbai Indians in their last league phase game and must win that encounter with a good margin to make sure they remain in top two even if Gujarat and Bengaluru win their respective matches. RCB will know the exact scenario in this case, as they will be playing the final league phase game of the season, on Tuesday (May 27), against LSG>.
