New Delhi, May 14 -- There's rain scare in Dharamshala tonight as Punjab Kings clash with Mumbai Indians in a crucial game. If the match is washed out, both teams receive one point each. A minimum of 5 overs per side must be completed for a result. If rain prevents that, the match is declared a No Result.

A washout moves PBKS to 14 points, temporarily holding onto their Top 4 standing. Their superior NRR of +0.428 compared to SRH's +0.331 means PBKS will actually climb to the 3rd position.

They move 2 points clear of CSK and RR, providing a meaningful safety cushion. Neither of the chasing teams can overtake Punjab in their next match.

After today's match, Punjab still have 2 more to go. Their playoff chances are still very much alive....
