Yesterday’s win took the team above Chennai Super Kings (CSK), who won IPL 2020 against Mumbai Indians (MI) by five wickets in hand and NRR of +0.468. David Warner on the other side hit rock bottom with a NRR of -0.500 and thus lifted MI to the seventh position.

IPL 2020 Points Table:
There are still two teams who are yet to play a big match- The Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Sharjah, where the two times winner Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) is yet to play the match with Mumbai Indians on 23rd September 2020 in Abu Dhabi.
In today’s match CSK has got the opportunity to move to the top beating its rival Rajasthan Royals and the factor is of not playing the star player Jos Butler.
On the other hand if Rajasthan Royal won today’s match then they could be the new to the throne.
It is all about the momentum in this fast paced league match and which-ever teams get going from the outset has more chances making the playoffs and yes there are exceptions.
