It was the side’s first win of this year’s tournament, a vital fillip in their bid to be crowned champions.
Delhi were led to victory thanks to Amit Mishra’s brilliant spell of 4-11 before Quinton de Kock smashed an unbeaten 59 to see his side home.

Drop the catch and still dismiss the batsman...Thought only Sir Jadeja was capable of such feats. ? #DDvKXIP #IPL

Not surprisingly, Mitchell Johnson is fodder this year. Hard for a fast bowler to come to IPL and give it his all after a few months out.

Punjab have missed the plot today. Cant see a miraculous turnaround from here. Poor contest, but will be fine recovery by Delhi
