Mahela Jayawardene struck an unbeaten half-century as Delhi Daredevils beat Kings XI Punjab by five wickets on Tuesday night to become the first team to reach the Indian Premier League playoffs.
The Sri Lankan batsman hit eight fours to score 56 in 49 balls as Delhi totaled 140-5 in 19 overs in reply to Punjab's 136-8.
Punjab now needs to win both remaining games, against Delhi and Chennai Super Kings, to have a chance of qualifying for the 4-team playoffs.
