Seven of Delhi’s batsmen failed to reach double digits with Rishabh Pant (36 off 35 balls) being the top scorer.
For DC, from 12 matches this is their fifth loss, and to make in the play-off from two matches remaining they need to win one, while SRH from 12 matches have won for fifth time. But SRH will have to win their remaining two matches and will have to wait for the results of other teams.
