They beat Mumbai Indians last night by five wickets with new captain Steve Smith hitting an unbeaten half-century to guide his side's chase of 162. 

Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals have moved to third place in the points table with a rare win at home.

They got the better of Kings XI Punjab as half-centuries from Shikhar Dhawan and Shreyas Iyer led Delhi to a five-wicket victory.
