IPL 2026 week 3 winners and losers: RR stay on top, RCB stay third after Jaipur loss
The IPL 2026 week 3 winners and losers thread covers the April 13-19, 2026 window, but the corpus also includes Match 16 on Fri Apr 10 because that result drives the table movement already confirmed. So this is split the way a score thread should be: played matches first, scheduled matches after.
Right now, only Match 16 has a confirmed outcome in the source material. Matches 17-20 remain scheduled, and the April 13-19 week block is still waiting on results.
