IPL Points Table 2026 (Updated), After Lucknow Super Giants vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Match: Even though the hopes of reaching the playoffs are almost over, the teams ranked last in IPL 2026 are hurting others. Currently, this work has been done by Lucknow Super Giants, who have got a big win after losing 6 consecutive matches. Lucknow, captained by Rishabh Pant, defeated defending champion Royal Challengers Bangalore by 9 runs (DLS) in its 10th match. This defeat did not change Lucknow's position in the points table but has kept the remaining hopes of the playoffs alive for now.

Rain interfered 2-3 times in the match played on May 7 at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, due to which the match had to be stopped. But despite this, only 2 overs were played in the entire match. In this, Lucknow, batting first, scored 209 runs on the basis of Mitchell Marsh's memorable century. After this, under the Duckworth-Lewis system, RCB got the target of 213 runs to win. In response, on the basis of Prince Yadav's lethal bowling, Lucknow restricted Bengaluru to 203 runs.

After this victory, Lucknow has got 2 points and from 10 matches it has 6 points. In this matter he has equaled Mumbai Indians. But there is no change in Lucknow's position due to being behind Mumbai in net run rate and Pant's team is still at 10th position. At the same time, Bengaluru has faced defeat in 2 consecutive matches for the first time this season. Due to this the team once again missed the first place. He is in third place with 12 points in 10 matches. The condition of the remaining teams can be seen in the table below.

Now the question is what effect can the match on Friday i.e. 8th May have on the table. There is a match between Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders in New Delhi today. Both the teams are at the top and bottom in the points table. Delhi is at 7th position with 8 points and Kolkata is at 8th position with 7 points. If Delhi wins today's match, it will get 10 points but will still remain at 7th position, because its run rate is much worse than Chennai. But if Kolkata wins this match, it will get 9 points and will leave Delhi behind and come to 7th position.
