Punjab Kings at the Top of the Points Table
The IPL season is now nearing its halfway mark. With three wins and three losses in six matches, Delhi currently occupies the sixth position on the points table. The Punjab Kings are leading the standings in first place, having accumulated 11 points from six matches.
The Punjab Kings saw their points tally reduced by one due to a match being abandoned in Kolkata. Overall, however, they have recorded victories in all the matches they have played to completion. A significant relief for Delhi is that their star fast bowler, Mitchell Starc, has recovered and is fit to play in the IPL.
