The Daredevils, the only IPL team in the semis, were already assured of their last-four spot after rivals Auckland Aces lost by 16 runs in their last group league game to Perth Scorchers earlier on Tuesday.
Heavy rain prevented a single ball being bowled, meaning a second abandonment for the Daredevils and no opportunity for England's Kevin Pietersen to build on his lacklustre innings of 12 and 9 in their two other matches.

The controversial South Africa-born 32-year-old batsman would have been desperate for time at the crease before joining the England squad for a tour of India next month.
Teams:
Delhi: David Warner, Kevin Pietersen, Mahela Jayawardena, Ross Taylor, Unmukt Chand, Venugopal Rao, Virender Sehwag, Aavishkar Salvi, Ajit Agarkar, Morne Morkel, Umesh Yadav, Andre Russell, Irfan Pathan, Pawan Negi, Naman Ojha

Highveld Lions: Alviro Petersen, Gulam Bodi, Jean Symes, Neil McKenzie, Aaron Phangiso, Dirk Nannes, Ethan O'Reilly, Pumelela Matshikwe, Sohail Tanvir, Chris Morris, Dwaine Pretorius, Temba Bavuma, Zander de Bruyn, Quinton de Kock, Thami Tsolekile
