Delhi Daredevils suffered a blow to their playoff chances as they lost to an already-knocked out Rising Pune Supergiants by 19 runs (D/L method) after rain had interrupted play. After being put into bat first, none of the Delhi batsmen were able to manouevre the Pune bowling as Ashok Dinda and Adam Zampa picked up three wickets each.
A late surge from an in-form Chris Morris helped Delhi reach a total of some respectability. In reply, Ajinkya Rahane, Pune's best batsman this season, played a crucial knock to help his side remain above the par score, as per the Duckworth/Lewis method.
