Delhi Capitals (DC) are close to elimination but can impact Rajasthan Royals’ playoff hopes when both teams face off at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on May 17.
Delhi has only 10 points from five wins and seven losses in 12 matches. They can achieve a maximum of 14 points by winning their remaining games, but this won’t necessarily secure them a playoff spot, as other teams could exceed their total. The Axar Patel-led squad needs favorable results from other matches to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Rajasthan, in contrast, sits more comfortably with 12 points from 11 matches. Winning all three of their remaining games would bring them to 18 points, but they will need at least two of RCB, GT, PBKS, SRH, and CSK to drop points, and net run rate (NRR) might also influence their playoff position.
