Mumbai Indians defeated Punjab Kings by six wickets, marking PBKS's fifth consecutive loss. MI's win keeps the IPL 2026 points table competitive, while PBKS must win their last two matches to secure a playoff spot.
NEW DELHI: Already eliminated Mumbai Indians kept the IPL 2026 points table wide open with a stunning six-wicket win over Punjab Kings in Dharamsala on Thursday. Led by Jasprit Bumrah for the first time in IPL history, MI registered their fourth win of the season to take their tally to eight points, though they remained stranded in ninth spot.
It was a fifth successive defeat for Punjab, and their playoff chances are getting thinner with each loss. PBKS, who led the points table in most of the first half of the league stage, remain fourth with 13 points from 12 games, but they now face a must-win situation. Two wins from their remaining two matches will guarantee a playoff spot.
