As things stand, Mumbai Indians (MI), Delhi Capitals (DC), and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) occupy the first three positions in the IPL 2020 points table, each of them tied on 14 points after each playing 11 matches.
The race for the fourth place is altogether more complicated, with all of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) all vying for that much-coveted spot.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are still in with a chance of making the play-offs mathematically, but are considered eliminated for all intents and purposes.
