Delhi Capitals finished second on the points table and ensured a playoff place after a six-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in an IPL 2020 match in Abu Dhabi on Monday. Despite the defeat, RCB, too, is assured of a play-off spot.
Chasing 153 to win, Ajinkya Rahane's 60 took Delhi over the line with six balls to spare, which meant RCB's net run-rate remained above Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

Rajasthan was the third team to get eliminated from the 13th edition of IPL. Chennai Super Kings' nine-wicket win over Kings XI Punjab on Sunday afternoon brought the curtains down on Punjab's campaign. Dhoni's CSK was the first team to crash out of the competition.
