Despite suffering their sixth consecutive loss after a 23-run defeat against RCB, Punjab Kings (PBKS) remain fourth in the IPL 2026 standings with 13 points from 13 matches. While RCB has officially secured a playoff berth, PBKS still has a mathematical chance to qualify. To enter the final four, PBKS must win their last match against LSG on May 23 and hope that other results, involving RR and CSK, go in their favor. https://punjab.news18.com/news/sports/tata-ipl-2026-playoff-punjab-kings-how-can-qualify-for-ipl-2026-playoffs-after-defeat-against-rcb-all-scenarios-equations-skm-969299.html #Creator program
