Almost it was the first dead rubber game which didn’t produce any sort towards the play-offs. However, Kings XI Punjab with a pleasing effort beat Delhi Daredevils to confirm their play-offs berth.
Delhi started well with Pietersen and Karthik striking big. But Punjab came back well to restrict DD to 165. Later Kings got off to a flyer chasing the total. But the Delhi’s spinners Duminy and Tahir slowly brought back DD into the game. But Akshar Patel scored a sensible knock, who had a good day with ball too helped his team to cross the line.
