Today IPL Match: Live Score & Updates
When an IPL match is on, the panel above turns into a live scorecard. It shows both teams, the current IPL live score, and the match situation — wickets fallen, overs bowled, and the result the moment it is decided. The data comes from the same live feed that powers the score strip on the homepage, so the today IPL match score you see here always matches the live action. There is no need to refresh the page: during a match the panel checks for updates every few seconds, and between matches it checks on a slower cycle.
Looking for today’s IPL match time and venue? Every upcoming match card lists the two teams, the stadium, and the start time in IST — the time zone every Indian fan follows. Most IPL matches start in the evening IST, with weekend double-headers adding an afternoon game. Once the BCCI publishes the full fixture list for 2027, every match time and venue on this page fills in automatically. Fans searching in Hindi for today’s match mean exactly this — today’s IPL match — and this page answers that search too.
IPL Points Table, Standings & IPL Table
The IPL points table decides which four teams reach the playoffs. A win earns 2 points, a no-result gives 1 point to each side, and teams level on points are separated by Net Run Rate (NRR). The IPL standings below are the verified final points table IPL fans followed in 2026 — and the same format returns for 2027. If you are searching for the IPL point table or the IPL table, this is the table you want, and the live points table page tracks the 2027 version automatically once the season begins.
| Pos | Team | M | W | L | NR | Pts | NRR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Royal Challengers Bengaluru | 14 | 9 | 5 | 0 | 18 | +0.783 |
| 2 | Gujarat Titans | 14 | 9 | 5 | 0 | 18 | +0.695 |
| 3 | Sunrisers Hyderabad | 14 | 9 | 5 | 0 | 18 | +0.524 |

| 10 | Lucknow Super Giants | 14 | 4 | 10 | 0 | 8 | −0.740 |
Three teams finished tied on 18 points in 2026, and RCB topped the table on net run rate — a reminder that how a team wins matters as much as winning. The top four reached the playoffs: RCB beat GT by 92 runs in Qualifier 1, Rajasthan Royals beat SRH by 47 runs in the Eliminator, and GT beat RR by 7 wickets in Qualifier 2, before RCB beat GT by 5 wickets in the final. Every IPL match moves this table — the winner takes 2 points, and a washed-out game shares 1 point each.

Tomorrow’s IPL Match & How to Watch
Planning ahead? Fans searching for “tomorrow ipl match” land on this same section. The panel above also shows the next upcoming match whenever there is no game today — which is, in effect, tomorrow’s IPL match during the season.

Reading a scorecard is simple once you know the shorthand. A score like “161/5” means 161 runs for 5 wickets down; “(18/20 ov)” means 18 of the 20 overs have been bowled. When a team is chasing, you will also see a target — the runs needed to win. If rain shortens a match, the DLS method sets a revised target; if a match ends tied, it goes to a Super Over. This page’s IPL score updates ball by ball during live games, so you can follow every twist without a TV.
The Last IPL Match: 2026 Final Recap
The most recent IPL match was the 2026 final at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, where Royal Challengers Bengaluru beat Gujarat Titans by 5 wickets with 12 balls remaining. Gujarat Titans posted 155 for 8; RCB chased it down, reaching 161 for 5, to win back-to-back titles. That result is why RCB enter IPL 2027 as defending champions — and why the 2027 season opener is one of the most awaited fixtures in years.
