This win propels Rajasthan Royals to sixth in the IPL 2020 points table and keeps them in the hunt for the playoffs. However, there is still a lot to do for Steve Smith’s men if they are to make it into the final four with three games to spare. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians failed to put some daylight between them and the other teams in the standings but still remain at the top of the table.
