IPL 2024 Points Table: Updated standings after PBKS vs RCB match

Punjab Kings slipped from eighth to ninth spot in the IPL 2024 points table after the massive defeat against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. A 92-run knock from Virat Kohli powered RCB to a 60-run victory against PBKS on Thursday, May 9.

This win helped RCB stay alive in the competition. The Bengaluru-based franchise now have 10 points from 12 matches. Their net run rate has improved from -0.049 to +0.217, which has slightly increased their playoff chances.

On the other side, Punjab Kings are confirmed to finish in the bottom six of the IPL 2024 points table. PBKS have eight points from 12 matches. They still have two matches to go, but even if they register massive victories in those two games, PBKS won't make it to the playoffs.

As an impact of last night's defeat on Punjab's position in the IPL 2024 points table, the Kings' net run rate has gone down from -0.187 to -0.423. Mumbai Indians have climbed up from ninth to eighth position because of PBKS' massive loss against RCB.
