Following Saturday's doubleheader certain movements have taken place in the IPL 2023 Points Table. As Delhi Capitals were handed their 5th consecutive loss in the tournament by RCB, the bottom spot remains filled by DC. In the other encounter, Punjab Kings have thwarted Lucknow Super Giants' effort to rise to the top of the league table.

In DC vs RCB IPL match, courtesy of Virat Kohli's yet another sublime knock, Royals Challengers Bangalore put on a tidy total of 175 on the board. The score turned out to be too much for the DC batsmen as they slumped early on in their innings and could not recover. RCB got the win by 23 runs.

In the second match of the day, i.e., LSG vs. PBKS, KL Rahul broke the deadlock of failures and scored 74 off 56 balls. While Rahul found some form, the other batsmen in the LSG lineup could not contribute something monumental and hence LSG could only post 159 on the board. In reply, PBKS got off to a horrific start and were reeling at 45 for 3 at the end of the batting powerplay. Punjab though got the needed solidarity from Matt Short, Harpreet Singh Bhatia, and Sikandar Raza. Raza top scored with 57 off 41 balls. The match though went down till the final over where Shahrukh Khan held his nerves and got his side home. Thus, the bottomline is, PBKS registered a 3-wicket win over LSG.
