Nathan Ellis took 3-40 as Punjab Kings notched a consolation five-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last Indian Premier League match of the season.

Aussie pace bowler Ellis and left-arm spinner Harpreet Brar (3-26) restricted Hyderabad to 8-157 in their 20 overs on Sunday.

Opening batsman Abhishek Sharma top-scored with 43 before Liam Livingstone plucked a superb catch on the edge of the boundary in Brar's second over.

Englishman Livingstone then smashed an unbeaten 49 off 22 balls - though he was dropped twice - as Punjab raced to 6-160 with more than four overs to spare.

Punjab ended the season in sixth place with 14 points from 14 games. Hyderabad, which won five of its first seven league games, could win only one more and ended up with 12 points.

Gujarat Titans will take on Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 1 on Tuesday. Lucknow Super Giants will meet Royal Challengers Bangalore in the eliminator on Wednesday.
