IPL 2026 Points Table

Can Delhi Capitals Qualify For IPL 2026 Playoffs?

The Capitals now have four matches left and can only reach a maximum of 16 points. This means that they need to win all games, and another defeat will leave them dependent on a miracle. For those unversed in every campaign, the tournament has been played in a 10-team format (2011, 2022-2025); Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in 2024 is the only season when a team qualified for the playoffs with 14 points. In that campaign, there was a tie of 14 points. With five teams already on 12 points or more, it is unlikely that will happen this season.

However, no team has ever even missed out on 16 points, and the 2020 finalists are still in the race until they lose another game.
