DC vs RR IPL Highlights: Delhi Capitals needed to score 116 in 10 overs to go to the top of the table© BCCI/IPL

Delhi Capitals (DC) have won their last league match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) season against Rajasthan Royals (RR) by 5 wickets and 3.5 overs to spare at the Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi on Saturday. The DC chase, despite several bumps, was propelled by a responsible innings from Rishabh Pant (53*), who played his way in and batted with the lower order and then finally burst into life with the finish line in sight. Ish Sodhi (3/26) and Shreyas Gopal (2/21) had made early inroads into the DC batting order to make their chase of 116 more difficult that it had appeared it would. RR had scored 115/9 in their 20 overs. Winning the toss, Rajasthan Royals captain Ajinkya Rahane decided his team would bat first. Ishant Sharma (3/38) got the home team off to a perfect start, capturing the wickets of openers Rahane (2) and Liam Livingstone (14) in successive overs. Sanju Samson (5) was run out after a mix-up with his partner Mahipal Lomror (8) as wickets kept falling. Amit Mishra (3/17) then came up with a killer blow, taking two wickets in consecutive balls - Shreyas Gopal (12) and Stuart Binny (0) falling to him in successive balls. He could have captured a hat-trick as well, which would have been his third in IPL history, but Trent Boult missed an easy catch. Young Riyan Parag (50) anchored the RR innings, even taking 18 runs off Ishant's last over. He never had any partners sticking with him for long enough though, as only Livingstone and Shreyas Gopal managed to reach double figures. He hit Trent Boult for two sixes in the 20th over to bring up his fifty, thus becoming the youngest player in IPL history to score a fifty. (SCORECARD)

Rutherford is out
Shreyas Gopal gets another wicket. Livingstone takes a nice catch. That went up very high. DC lose their fifth wicket. Need 10 more runs off 28 balls as we head into a Timeout. Keemo Paul had walked off the field in the first innings. Will he pad up now? Or will Axar Patel be sent out?

Swiveled and hit over the fine leg boundary for six. Varun Aaron's over has been expensive. Expense the RR team can ill afford at this stage.

DC 84/4 after 14 overs
Three runs and one wicket in Ish Sodhi's third over. DC need 32 off 36 balls. Shreyas Gopal and Ish Sodhi both have one over remaining. Varun Aaron has three overs left. Could we have a twist in the tail in this match? DC and RR are the two teams who have been most susceptible to late nervous breakdowns this season.

Ingram is out
Pant is not so lucky. Ish Sodhi gets his third wicket. Ball struck Ingram's wrist and looped up. Rahane, standing at first slip, went around the keeper to grab the catch. DC 83/4 after 13.4 overs. Rutherford the new man in.

Pant survives
Pant tried to take Ish Sodhi on and almost regretted it. Ball goes up high and not very far but luckily for the batsman, lands in no man's land.

Four runs off Gowtham's over
DC 81/3 after 13 overs. Need 35 more runs in 42 balls. Required run rate 5 runs per over. Pant and Ingram should be looking to finish this job themselves. A few quick wickets could still turn this match around, given the nature of this track.

Five runs off Gowtham's over
Rishabh Pant is playing an unusual innings. 24 off 23 balls. Strike rate just above 100. Historic in its own little way, this innings. Ingram is with him, on 9 off 16 balls.

Three runs off the 9th over
Gowtham concedes just three runs in his second over. Ingram happy to set his eye in before bringing out his shots. Now that the NRR equation can be thrown out of the window, the DC batsmen will want to bat safely and surely. So that they can ensure the two points at least.

What happens here on
The two Guyana boys, Rutherford and Keemo Paul, are slotted to come in after this. However, Ingram needs a big score. DC need 52 runs off 70 balls. Looks like the target of finishing the chase in the first 10 overs can be safely discounted now.

Shreyas Iyer is out
Shreyas gets Shreyas! Gopal gets Iyer out. DC 61/3. Could RR get their way back into the match from here on? Ingram's form has not been the best. Pant's wicket will be crucial.

Net run rate equation
If DC can chase down this target within 10 overs, they can leapfrog CSK and MI on net run rate. The race for the top two spots in the table is well and truly alive.

Parag is out
Goes for a big shot off the last ball. Is caught in the deep. Rajasthan Royals score 115/9 in their 20 overs. Riyan Parag has brought some semblance of respectability to this total. Will DC chase this down easily or does skipper Rahane have a trick or two up his sleeve?
