Well, every game is pretty much a must-win game at this stage of the tournament. So, you don't want to miss out on any of the action as the games keep coming along thick and fast. That's all we have from tonight then, as we take your leave. This is Pratyush, signing off on behalf of my partner Shashwat. We hope you enjoyed our coverage, goodnight!
Right then. The Delhi Capitals are down and out, but they've gone to Dharamsala and spoiled Punjab Kings' party tonight. The Kings are still in with a shot mathematically but even for the optimists, it's a long shot. Tomorrow, Royal Challengers Bangalore have a chance to keep their campaign afloat as they take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad in a must-win game.
Rilee Rossouw is the Player of the Match. Let's hear what he has to say: [Maiden fifty in IPL] It's long overdue. Thanks to the support staff that backed me to play today. So, just chuffed that up and got a good performance for my team. [Innings today] First of all, it's a good wicket out there that suited our game. The openers put on a good partnership and it was all about carrying on from that. [Dropped catches] I don't have to bowl, so I don't have to worry. I was worried about taking the catches and stopping the runs. Livi played an unbelievable knock but we're glad to get over the line.
David Warner (Delhi Capitals captain): It was a pretty bat fielding performance, to be honest. Great to get the win. We went out in the middle and used the powerplay, played our shots to score some runs. It's been challenging at home with some inconsistent wickets. It's great to see the impact Prithvi had, he deserves a special mention, and even Rossouw as well. Defending 130 and twice under 150, it's one of those things that you want a bit of consistency at your home venue. We almost chased against the Sunrisers as well. It's just great to get the points again tonight.
Time for the presentations.
Anrich Nortje: It's great to be back on the grass. When we got here, it felt to be good at a venue with some carry. Unbelievable venue, one of the best in the world. [Plans] Obviously tried to use the conditions as much as we can and change it up as much as we can. I was just trying to focus on what I need to delivery, to be honest. [Speeds] You have to bring the variations out with the slower ball because the guys line up the quicker ones. At the start, I'd like to be more effective. It's about assessing conditions better and getting better as you learn more. That's going to happen when playing in the IPL. You'll nail your yorkers one day and will need to have other plans on other days. I must say Kuldeep was our best bowler. We made things difficult for ourselves with those dropped catches.
Shikhar Dhawan, Punjab Kings captain: We did not bowl really well in the first six overs, the way the pitch was offering swing. There was always hope after that No ball. Livingstone played a great knock but unfortunately we could not end up on the winning side. (Did you concede 20 too many) Even my decision of bowling a spinner in the last over - the momentum went to their side. Those two (last and penultimate overs) cost us the game. We could not pitch the ball up. We did not bowl in the right areas and that has been hurting us. It is not about this game but we should be taking some wickets. We knew that it would swing for a couple of overs. I was dismissed in the second over and we played the first maiden. We lost six balls there as well. It does not usually happen but it happened tonight.
That game sums up the magic of the Indian Premier League. The pendulum swung one way and then the other and some more before we finally got a clear winner in this game. It was runs galore once more with over 400 runs being scored once more, and it's the Punjab King who come out on the losing side. That's a result that dents their top four hopes, and the reaction amongst their supporters tells you the story.
After winning the toss and opting to bowl first, the Kings conceded in and around a par total they would have fancied chasing on a belter of a track. However, their chase got off to the worst possible start with a maiden, followed by the cheap dismissal of their captain. Prabhsimran and Taide showed their mettle and fought back admirably to stabilize the ship for their side, with the latter going on to score a half-century as well.
It became the Liam Livingstone show soon after. The Englishman was at his destructive best throughout and punished the Capitals bowlers at will. It shouldn't have been the case though, with DC dropping a few straighforward catches to keep the Kings in the game. The spinners did a good job to put on the squeeze and Taide hit a brick wall, failing to accelerate in his innings.
He selflessly retired hurt but it was probably too late by then. The new batters never quite got the time to hit their stride and the equation proved to be too much, even for Livingstone in the end. He kept his side in the game till the final over but the Capitals held their nerve, winning the game even after conceding 43 runs in the last three overs, courtesy of Nortje conceding only 5 runs in the penultimate over.
Punjab Kings made a few mistakes throughout that game but the one that might be talked about the most will be Shikhar Dhawan's decision to give the final over in the first innings to Harpreet Brar. That over went for 23, and proved to be the difference between the two sides at the end of the day. Such are the margins in the IPL, that the Punjab Kings' campaign is all but over after this loss. Stick around to get the reactions of the captains.

19.6 Ishant Sharma to Liam Livingstone, ISHANT GETS LIVINGSTONE OFF THE LAST BALL! DC WIN BY 15 RUNS! Slower delivery on a length outside off stump. Livingstone slaps it flat but straight to long off, who does the rest!
19.5 Ishant Sharma to Liam Livingstone, length delivery outside off stump. Livingstone throws the kitchen sink at it and slices it on the bounce to deep extra cover
Livingstone couldn't have asked for much more. It was a rank full toss outside off and Livingstone swung like a rusty gate. Whew!
19.4 Ishant Sharma to Liam Livingstone, OH DEAR! Rank full toss outside off stump that Livingstone would usually mow into next week. Has a wild slog at it but misses it completely
16 off 3 now. Free hit loading...
Would you believe it? Ishant Sharma is saying that the call didn't come from the square leg umpire and Warner's having a word with the umpire too. Delhi Capitals have the option of reviewing it but they're still arguing the call. Now, the review is coming. As unlikely as it is, the game would be hinging on this decision.
19.4 Ishant Sharma to Liam Livingstone, CLEARS THE FENCE! IS THAT A NO BALL? YES, IT IS! OH MY GOOD LORD! High full toss outside off stump. Livingstone waits for the ball to arrive, gives it everything he has and flays it over the extra cover fence! Warner is having an animated chat with the umpire, and looks like he has reviewed the No ball! The third umpire reckons it is above the waist. No ball call stands!
19.3 Ishant Sharma to Liam Livingstone, FOUR MORE! Full toss outside off stump. Livingstone gets his hands through the ball beautifully and crunches it past deep extra cover!
19.2 Ishant Sharma to Liam Livingstone, GOES BIG! BUT HAS IT COME TOO LATE? Low full toss outside off stump. Livingstone hangs deep in his crease and pounds it over long on!
33 off 5. All the bowler has to do is make sure he doesn't bowl a no ball.
19.1 Ishant Sharma to Liam Livingstone, OH! Full and hung outside off stump. Livingstone throws the kitchen sink at it but only connects with fresh air
