Already through to the playoffs, Delhi Capitals first rode on veterans Ishant Sharma and Amit Mishra's superb efforts with the bowl to restrict Rajasthan Royals to 115 for nine and then chased down the target in 16.1 overs, with Rishabh Pant remaining unbeaten on a 38-ball 53.

The win lifted Delhi to the second spot in the standings with 18 points from 14 games but to finish as a second-best side, the Capitals would need Mumbai Indians to lose against Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday. A win for Mumbai would automatically drop Delhi to the third spot as they have an inferior net run-rate. Rajasthan is out of the tournament, finishing with just 11 points from 14 games.
