Sawai Mansingh Stadium shifts

The match was played at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, where Delhi handled the chase and took the points that changed the table. That pushed the Capitals above several teams fighting for the middle of the IPL 2026 standings and tightened the squeeze around the top half.

Rajasthan’s defeat did not drop them out of the playoff picture. They still sat fourth with 12 points from nine games, a spot that kept them in the group described as the strongest contenders for qualification at that stage.

Punjab Kings lead the pack

Punjab Kings led the standings with 12 points from eight matches, while Royal Challengers Bengaluru were second on 12 points with a superior net run rate. Sunrisers Hyderabad were third on 12 points, so the top of the table remained crowded despite Delhi’s move.

Gujarat Titans were fifth with eight points, the same total as Delhi Capitals, which is why net run rate separated the two sides. Chennai Super Kings were seventh with six points, and Kolkata Knight Riders, Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants filled the bottom three positions with four points each.

For Delhi, the win did more than add two points; it lifted them into sixth and brought them closer to the cluster chasing the four teams at the top. For Rajasthan, the loss left them in fourth, still inside the leading pack but no longer with room to relax as the table tightened around them.
