That's it from another thriller in the Indian Premier League. Ninaad Dixit here signing off on behalf of my co-commentators Akshay Bhide, Megh Mandaliya and scorer Paras Yadav. Stay tuned for more cricketing action from around the world.
Rilee Rossouw (POTM): "Thanks to the support staff that backed me to play the game today. Just chuffed it up that I could perform and win for the team.
Its a good wicket out there. Davey and Shaw put up a brilliant partnership for us to carry out that momentum. Its just natural that I enjoyed myself out there and lucky for me I hit the ball over the rope tonight.
I was just worried about taking the catches and stopping the ball. It just shows that the game is never over until the last ball is bowled and credit to Livi, he played an unbelievable knock and thank goodness we got over the line."

Rilee Rossouw is the player of the match.
David Warner (Delhi Capitals Skipper): "It was a pretty bad fielding performance first of all. We backed our strengths tonight and used the pace really well. Great win of course but I really liked the intent today after losing the toss. I also think playing on a nice wicket helps a lot. We had pretty slow and inconsistent wickets back at home. It's been pretty challenging there. Great to see the impact Shaw had today and the impact Rossouw had as well. We haven't been able to track down what's the best total at our home venue. There are little bits of our game that haven't gone to play but great to get some points today."
Active Catch of the Match: Shikhar Dhawan
Longest Six Hit in the Match: Liam Livingstone (101 m)
Most Fours Hit in the Match: Prithvi Shaw (7 fours)
Most Valuable Asset of the Match: Liam Livingstone
Game Changer of the Match: Liam Livingstone
Electric Striker of the Match: Rilee Rossouw
11:33 PM IST: Time for the post-match presentation.
Anrich Nortje (Delhi Capitals): "When we got here, it was nice to see some grass here and it is one of the best venues in the world. Just tried to use the conditions while we bowled. I was just trying to be focussed in the death overs. Nowadays, the guys are set up for the full-paced balls. So have to use the slower ones but not too often. I can assess the conditions better while playing here in India. I must say Kuldeep was our standout bowler tonight and we didn't help him by dropping the catches."
Shikhar Dhawan (Punjab Kings Skipper): "It was frustrating. But we didn't bowl well in the first six overs. We should have taken a couple of wickets with the way the pitch was behaving. With the no ball, we believed but credit to Liam for the way he played. I feel my decision to bowl spinner the last over was wrong and it shifted the momentum towards them. The pacers didn't bowl full enough. We need to bowl in the right areas on these kinds of surfaces and it is hurting us. We knew that in the first two overs, it was going to swing. We decided to take time. But I got out in the first over and it was a maiden. We also lost one more over in the next over and it didn't help us."
11:16 PM IST: The hopes of Punjab Kings to make it to the playoffs are dented further with a 15-run loss against the Delhi Capitals in match 64 of the Indian Premier League. Solid half centuries from Rilee Rossouw and Prithvi Shaw prompted the Capitals to score 213/2 at the end of the first innings with only Sam Curran managing to take wickets.
The chase began poorly for the Kings as they lost skipper Dhawan for a golden duck with Ishant Sharma getting him in consecutive games. Khaleel Ahmed (1/20 with a maiden) also bowled a pressure building spell in the powerplay.
There were almost half a dozen chances spilled in the field as lot of catches and straightforward run out chances went down resulting in a horrible middle phase for the Capitals as Atharva Taide piled a half century but was asked to retire at the end of 15 overs.
Liam Livingstone batting at number 4 was the only batter to carry the assault as the batters around him kept getting out. Jitesh Sharma, Shahrukh Khan getting a promotion failed to provide any impact. Sam Curran fancied the chase with Livingstone but perished with 34 more runs to win.
There were 4 single digit scores in the lineup and only Livingstone with his 94 stood out smashing 9 sixes and 5 fours against the poor DC bowlers. Mukesh Kumar brought in as the impact player conceded 52 in his 4. Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel kept it tight in the middle with Nortje and Ishant getting a couple of wickets each.
Ishant bowled a dramatic final over with 33 runs to win and defended the total. The over had a no ball which could have brought Punjab Kings back in the game but Livingstone missed the subsequent free hit and also his century holing out on the final ball of the match.
DC have got 10 points to their name and have climbed up to number 9 on the table, the Kings are at number 8 and struggling to get in the top 4 depending on the other team's results and their own as they have one game remaining in the week.

19.6 I Sharma to L Livingstone
W GONE!! No century for Livingstone. Swats down the ground and turns back walking straight away. 111 kph, slower good length ball outside the off stump. Gets on the front foot and flat bats it straight to Axar Patel at long off.
16 from 1 now. Livingstone needs a six to get his ton. Can he do it?
19.5 I Sharma to L Livingstone
0 Short and outside off. Swatted away in the off side to the left of Warner at deep extra. No run taken.
