KKR take on DC in tonight's final league game of IPL 2026
Kolkata must beat Delhi by a huge margin if they are to book a spot in the playoffs
DC's hopes have been ended by PBKS last night
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 sees its final league game today as Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) entertain Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Eden Gardens on Sunday, May 24. KKR's hopes are marginally alive despite PBKS' victory and are dependent on the result from Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians match.
If RR win, KKR will be out of the competition. Even if RR lose, the only way to keep KKR's hopes alive will be to beat the DC by a huge margin, which will take their tally to 15 points.
DC's playoff hopes have ended after PBKS' victory over LSG. Even Delhi Capitals get a victory in tonight's match, their points tally won't match that of Punjab Kings (15 points).
