3rd place – DELHI CAPITALS (DC)
For the first time since 2012, Delhi Capitals topped the points table, albeit briefly and have repaid the faith their fans have in them for so long. A change in name and captain finally bought good results for the Delhi cased franchise and it might be their year too.
Combination of the two of the greatest cricketing minds in Ricky Ponting and Sourav Ganguly behind the scenes may have mentored a young DC team into the playoffs of IPL 2019. DC has 7 wins from 11 matches and are on 14 points and sit at 3rd place in the points table. Their remaining matches are against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Chennai Super Kings, and Rajasthan Royals; with them playing RCB and RR at home, where they do not have a good record in this IPL.
DC just need a win or two from their remaining games to make it into the playoffs with 16 points and NRR in positive.
