Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav shared four wickets between themselves while Shardul Thakur picked his career-best IPL figures of 4/36 as Delhi Capitals defeated Punjab Kings by 17 runs at the D.Y Patil Stadium on Monday.

After Mitchell Marsh's 49-ball 63 carried them to 159/7, Axar, Kuldeep and Thakur triggered a collapse which saw Punjab lose six wickets before reaching the halfway mark of the chase. Though Jitesh Sharma tried his best with a 34-ball 44, Punjab could make only 142/9 in their 20 overs.
