11.16 pm This was a dogfight for sure. But Delhi somehow outscrap Sunrisers on Hyderabad's home turf to leave with their second win in a row. Meanwhile, Sunrisers have now lost three straight.

Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Aiden Markram: "Not good with the bat again, not enough intent. We looked a team that was not excited to win a game of cricket unfortunately. We'll have to go back to look how we can chase better, be more free as a team and as a unit and hopefully that can help us going forward. It's difficult. You can say all the right things but ultimately guys need to buy into it. We want to play a certain brand of cricket and if we get it wrong doing that then we'll sleep a lot better at night. But unfortunately tonight, just lacked a bit of intent. We've got really good players and really good batters and unfortunately I think we're just letting ourselves down through lack of intent. Guys need to work out what brings out the best in them and makes them the most free to play. [On the bowlers] Incredibly proud of them and executed great game plans, kept it pretty simple and used the conditions pretty well tonight. It's a pity we couldn't get the job done for them. Our bowlers didn't deserve to be on the losing side like this tonight."

Delhi Capitals bowler Anrich Nortje: "Obviously really happy to get the win. Still not the ideal performance, probably a few runs short. Bowling, I thought the spinners bowled really well and one or two of the seamers as well at stages, and then at the end, unbelievable finish. What an over [by Mukesh]. The [batters from the first innings] said there was some inconsistency on a good length so try straight lines and hit the wicket and see if we can get some inconsistency with some cutters here and there. [On bowling at the death] Just try to keep it as simple as possible. Just focus on the target and go. [On facing Klaasen] I'm not gonna lie, the plan wasn't to bowl half-volleys. But it's definitely a good challenge. [On Mukesh's last over] He was very clear. Kudos to him. He did an unbelievable job. He really focused well in that last over, took his time and executed. So it was so good to see and really inspiring."

Delhi Capitals captain David Warner: "I love it here. It's an amazing crowd. I haven't been here for a long time. Thankfully my hair can only go white from here, it can't go gray. This game throws up some challenges. Mukesh there under pressure was absolutely amazing and our two spinners were great. You don't want them to get used to bowlers in back-to-back bowlers so if I can maneuver them around in the middle overs it can work. [On Ishant] Credit to him. He's worked very hard to get back into the IPL and to bowl as well as he did was exceptional. To win tonight, hopefully we can make it three in a row. We've got another against Sunrisers next."

Axar Patel named Player of the Match for his 34 off 34 and two wickets in the chase.

That's it for today's live coverage. Come back tomorrow for some more live IPL coverage. Until then, take care!

Mukesh Kumar to Jansen, no run, yorker on middle jammed out to mid-off for none. Mukesh is getting mobbed by his teammates as he helps Delhi seal an improbable seven-run win.

Mukesh Kumar to Washington Sundar, 1 run, full on middle and leg, heaved wide of deep midwicket for just a single. Somehow they managed to jog just one instead of hustling for two to leave the Super Over as a possibility. Barring a wide or no ball, Delhi has sewn up their second win.

Shrikant : "Why Mukesh? Why not Ishant?" Well, he's showing why over the course of the first four balls.

Mukesh Kumar to Jansen, 1 run, low full toss on the ankles at 141 kph, flicked out tamely to deep midwicket for one.

Sandeep: "This is match should be remembered as Washi match." As in, Washi it out of your system ASAP?

Mukesh Kumar to Washington Sundar, 1 run, 139 kph delivery lands full on fourth stump, drives this firmly to long-on for one.

Mukesh Kumar to Washington Sundar, no run, wide yorker on sixth stump at 139 kph, Sundar tries to open the face to guide this to third man but misses.

Srinath: "It's as thought either of these teams are hellbent on making this a thrilling chase to exhibit that they're no slouches when it comes to nail-biters. But the quality of cricket has been very middling today!" I think middling would take offense to that.

Mukesh Kumar to Washington Sundar, 2 runs, full and wide on seventh stump at 138 kph, punches this wide of the cover sweeper for a jogged two.

Mukesh Kumar has the ball in hand for the final over. David Warner is in an animated discussion with the two umpires because Delhi has been penalized for not ending their overs in time. They'll need to bring another fielder inside the 30-yard circle. Only four fielders on the boundary allowed now for the final over with 13 needed to win.
