Rossouw took just 25 balls to reach his half-century and his 82-run innings included six fours and six sixes.

It was Rossouw's first IPL half-century and he was named man of the match after Delhi won by 15 runs.

A blazing 94 by England's Liam Livingstone almost saw Punjab Kings sneak a win but they were restricted to 198/8 to sit on the brink of IPL elimination.

Delhi Capitals are already out of the playoff race as they lie ninth in the 10-team IPL standings.

Punjab Kings remain eighth in the table and need to win their final group match and depend on other results and net-rate to make the playoffs.

"It was frustrating," Punjab captain Shikhar Dhawan said. "We didn't bowl really well in the first six wickets, we should have taken some wickets the way it was swinging."

IPL glamour outfits Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings are two of the seven teams in contention for three remaining playoff spots in the T20 tournament.
