Delhi have lost their fifth game in six matches and sink to the bottom of the table. They would need a miracle to qualify for the knockouts as they will have to win at least seven out of their eight games. KXIP, on the other hand, have collected their fifth win and credit goes to the side for winning it without Chris Gayle.
