This put RCB in the 3rd position while PBKS went up one spot due to a superior net run rate.

Gujarat Titans’ lost to the Lucknow Super Giants by 33 runs. Mitchell Marsh’s sensational maiden IPL century, along with a blistering half-century from Nicholas Pooran, helped LSG set a mammoth target of 236 form GT to chase. While GT’s high-power top order faltered, Shahrukh Khan and Sherfane Rutherford went berzerk and for a while, it looked like GT might actually chase the big total down. However, GT then lost wickets in a clump in the death overs and thus fell well short. While GT have already qualified for the playoffs, their chances of finishing in the top two has taken a serious blow with this defeat.
