The side cannot afford to lose any of their remaining three matches in the competition as they look to make it to the top four. They will finish with 16 points if they go on to secure victories in their final three fixtures of the league stage.
Apart from Delhi, SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) also have 10 points to their name from 11 matches. However, Delhi have an edge as they have a net run rate of 0.150, whereas the other two IPL teams have negative net run rates.
If Delhi suffer a loss in one game, their chances will depend on the results of the other teams. Considering the same, the best possible option for them is to win their remaining games to stand a better chance of making the cut for the IPL playoffs.
