Now, CSK will play their last match against GT, and if the Shubman Gill-led side win that match, then the Men in Yellow will end IPL 2026 with 12 points. Now, for Rajasthan Royals, they have their remaining fixtures against LSG and MI, two teams who have crashed out of the tournament. Hence, DC will pray to these lower-placed teams to beat RR in their remaining fixtures.In this case, DC can easily qualify without the pressure of net run-rate. However, if CSK and RR win one of their remaining two fixtures, then DC need to enhance their net run-rate better than CSK and RR and hope that these three teams finish IPL 2026 group stage with 14 points.Delhi Capitals' Remaining Fixtures For IPL 2026MatchesSelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete TableSelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete TableDatesSelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete TableSelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete TableVenueSelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete TableSelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete TableKKR Vs DCSelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete TableSelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete TableMay 24SelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete TableSelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete TableEden GardensSelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete TableAs mentioned above, Delhi Capitals have a solitary match remaining which is against Kolkata Knight Riders and with a win, the Axar Patel-led side can also spoil KKR's party, who are still alive in the tournament.Also Read: Punjab Kings Qualification Scenario For IPL 2026 Playoffs After Defeat vs RCB
