19:25 IST: It's toss time!

19:00 IST: Hello and welcome to the live blog of the match between Gujarat Lions and Delhi Daredevils straight from Kanpur.

With eight points from 11 games, Delhi had held on a faint hope of qualifying for the play-off but once Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Mumbai Indians to move into 15 points, it was all over for Zaheer Khan's men.

Gujarat too have been hurt by their lack of depth in bowling and they are now at the sixth spot with four wins and eight losses.
