IPL Highlights, DD vs RPS: Delhi Beat Pune By Seven Runs
IPL highlights, DD vs RPS: Delhi pip Pune by seven runs.
Delhi Daredevils (DD) bowled brilliantly in the last couple of overs to beat Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) by seven runs at Feroz Shah Kotla in an Indian Premier League (IPL) match on Friday, to keep them waiting to seal the birth for the play-offs. Losing Rahul Tripathi (7) and Ajinkya Rahane (0) early in their innings, meant Pune couldn't get the start they wanted. Captain Steve Smith (38), Ben Stokes (33) and Manoj Tiwary (60) were the only players to get into double figures. Fighting alone, Tiwary fell short of partners and could not get the job done. After this game Pune are still placed third with 16 points and slots are wide open for Kings XI Punjab, Sunrises Hyderabad to book their berths for play-offs. (SCORECARD)

19:14 IST: Hello and welcome to the live blog of the match between Delhi Daredevils and Rising Pune Supergiant.
There is a possibility that RPS will be already in the Play-offs before they take on Daredevils, provided Kings XI Punjab lose to Mumbai Indians on Thursday.
However, the Pune side can't be hoping for help from the other sides and would be keen to snare their own points and advance. They look good to get there since it is all clicking for them at the right time.
As for DD, all they can play for is pride and personal landmarks, as the young batsmen would like to press their cases for future leagues as well as the Indian team.
