And DD win this one by a canter.
Shreyas Iyer and Mayank Agarwal's superb opening wicket patnership ensured that they cruised home by nine-wickets.
KXIP were clueless with both bat and ball today and paid a heavy price for it.
Iyer (54) and Agarwal (52*) steered DD home with relative ease.
KXIP now hit rock-bottom in the points table.

----------------------------------------------------
Welcome to LIVE coverage of Match 31 of IPL 8 which has Delhi Daredevils hosting Kings XI Punjab at the Ferozshah Kotla, Delhi.
Here is the Match preview of the game which will begin on 16:00 IST.
KXIP will look to shed off their faltering form as this match gives them a chance to land the KO on beleagured DD.
DD's capitualtion against RCB where they were shot out for 95 only highlights their misery in the tournament and an encore of such a dismal performance will in all certainity end their qualification hopes.
DD have been the whipping boys of IPL 8 and they need nothing short of a super-human effort to ensure qualification for the knock-out rounds.
The way JP Duminy's side have crumbled against every opposition only shows the lack of quality in their ranks and despite home support they are underdogs for the contest.
DD had beaten KXIP in their earlier fixture in Pune and that may serve as insipration enough to turn the tide in today's match.
So it may well be a pink revolution at Delhi which may very well overshadow the Men-in-Red!
