Excellent run chase there from Delhi Capitals. Man of the Match Shikhar Dhawan's 49-ball 92 formed the bedrock of this clinical pursuit, and that late surge from Marcus Stoinis meant DC cruise home with 10 balls and six wickets to spare. Prithvi Shaw's 17-ball 32 helped set the tone, and DC were never really out of depth in this tall chase. 

For Punjab, skipper KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal stood out with twin half-centuries, but as it turned out, Punjab were clearly 15-20 runs short on a smallish ground and against a rampaging batting line-up, not to forget the dew. The win puts DC on the second position on the points table as Punjab languish at the seventh spot. 

The action, however, doesn't stop in IPL 2021 with CSK taking on RR at the Wankhede Stadium. Do join us for the coverage tomorrow. Until then, it is good night from here. Stay safe and take care!

Shikhar Dhawan is Man of the Match

Dhawan: "I am playing my best in terms of strike rate. I made a conscious effort to improve my strike rate and take more risks. I am always open to changes, and I keep trying new things. I am not scared of getting out either. I have worked on my on-side play, and I look to use the pace of the ball a lot more. I have also worked on my slog shot. I am more relaxed now. I have been playing for so many years, so if I am not relaxed now, when will I be? But, I don't take anything for granted."

DC win by 6 wickets

Stoinis ends it in two legal deliveries. Pulls this short one from Meredith to bring curtains on Punjab. What a chase!

After 19 overs,Delhi Capitals 198/4 ( Marcus Stoinis 27 , Lalit Yadav 12)

Pant's gone. He hits Richardson straight to Deepak Hooda at long-on, who takes it in multiple attempts! Lalit Yadav is the new batsman.

Pant c Hooda b J Richardson 15(16)

Gone! Dhawan goes across the line, trying to sweep Richardson but misses. This one cannons into the middle stump. The platform though is ready for DC. Stoinis is the new batsman.

Dhawan b J Richardson 92(49) 

Bad, bad shot that from Steve Smith. Short of length from Meredith and Smith hacks at it. Taken at fine leg. 

Smith c J Richardson b Riley Meredith 9(12)

Shaw's gone. Slower from Arshdeep, and Shaw skies that pull. Chris Gayle does well to settle under that and complete the catch.

Late surge sends Punjab to 195/4

Right, so Punjab Kings end their innings at 195/4 at Wankhede Stadium, riding on a 122-run opening stand between Mayank Agarwal and skipper KL Rahul and a blockbuster finish from Shahrukh Khan. Rahul's 51-ball 61 was a solid, sedate innings, but can potentially resume talks over his strike rate. It's a ground where tall chases are not difficult, and with some dew later in the innings, it won't be too easy for Punjab. Delhi Capitals, given the batting order they have, will surely fancy their chances,

195/4 is still a huge tally though; will it be a match-winning one tonight, we shall find out in a couple of hours.

Full and wide goes Avesh, Pooran tries to slice it over deep cover but finds Rabada. 

Pooran c Rabada b Avesh Khan 9(8)

Woakes, after getting hit for a six the previous ball, comes back in style. A bit of pace off there, and Gayle mistimes this. 

Gayle c (sub)Ripal Patel b Woakes 11(9) 

Rabada strikes. Full, slanting in, and Rahul tries to go over mid-wicket. Stoinis, who dropped him in the previous over, redeems himself with a good running-diving catch.

Rahul c Stoinis b Rabada 61(51)

Wicket...and it's Meriwala who's done it. Pace off, outside off, and Agarwal hits it straight to Shikhar Dhawan in deep. 

Mayank c Dhawan b Meriwala 69(36)

First half-century for Mayank Agarwal in IPL 2021 as he pulls Avesh over the 'keeper. Excellent knock so far. 

TOSS TIME!

DC have won the toss and they will bowl first. 

Pant: "There is some dew in the second innings and we'd like to make use of it in 6-10 overs. Steven Smith comes in for Tom Curran and Lukman Meriwala comes in for...someone..."

KL Rahul: "You quickly reflect upon that innings, don't really sit on it or dwell too much. You learn a little just in case you're in that situation again. Jalaj Saxena comes in for M Ashwin.. It's been hard to read the pitch, generally Wankhede is high scoring."
