NEW DELHI (AP) Rising Pune Supergiant failed to clinch an Indian Premier League playoff spot when it lost to Delhi Daredevils by seven runs on Friday.
Supergiant, lying third overall, has one last shot at confirming a playoffs berth when it hosts playoffs contender Kings XI Punjab on Sunday.
Delhi, not in the playoffs running, made 168-8 and somehow defended it.
Supergiant needed 25 off the last over bowled by seamer Pat Cummins, and Manoj Tiwary smashed two sixes off the first two deliveries. But Cummins conceded just five off the next three balls and Tiwary was dismissed off the last delivery for 60 off 45 balls.
