The new week promises even more drama as the remaining eight teams battle for the coveted four playoff spots.
The action begins with Punjab Kings, currently on a three-match losing streak, hosting Delhi Capitals in Dharamsala as they look to revive their playoff push. Despite the recent defeats, PBKS remain fourth on the table and still have a strong chance of qualifying. DC, on the other hand, are hanging by a very thin thread and cannot afford another slip-up in their remaining three matches.
Tuesday will see Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad — currently third and second respectively — clash in Ahmedabad as both sides push for a top-two finish.
Table-toppers and defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru will look to consolidate their position when they host an in-form Kolkata Knight Riders in Raipur on Wednesday. Thursday will then see PBKS continue their playoff push against already-eliminated MI in Dharamsala.
Another eliminated side, LSG, will host an in-form Chennai Super Kings in Lucknow on Friday before KKR take on GT at Eden Gardens on Saturday.
The Sunday double-header begins with a blockbuster clash between PBKS and RCB in Dharamsala, a match that could have a major impact on the top-two race. Later in the evening, struggling DC will host Rajasthan Royals, who are still looking to stay alive in the playoff race.
