Sunrisers Hyderabad hold off Delhi Daredevils

Sunrisers Hyderabad hold on for a six-run victory as the Delhi Daredevils fall short in a dramatic Indian Premier League clash.

Sunrisers Hyderabad have knocked the Delhi Daredevils out of the running for a place in the knockout stage of the Indian Premier League by claiming a six-run victory.

It looked like a frustrating day was on the cards for Hyderabad when Shikhar Dhawan and David Warner both departed early to hand the Delhi attack a boost.

However, Moises Henriques held the innings together with 74 from 46 balls as the Sunrisers battled to 163-4 from their 20 overs.

The Daredevils made a disastrous start to their reply as Bhuveneshwar Kumar caught and bowled opener Shreyas Iyer for a duck.

Iyer's opening partner faired much better as Quinton de Kock struck 10 boundaries on the way to 50 from 31 deliveries.

The South African was stumped off the bowling of Karn Sharma in the ninth over, and he was soon followed by Yuvraj Singh and JP Duminy to leave Delhi struggling on 66-4.

Kedar Jadhav was determined to keep his team in the match, and he was joined by Saurabh Tiwary in an unbeaten partnership of 99 which put the pressure on the Hyderabad bowlers.

Delhi needed 16 runs off the final over, but Ishant Sharma held his nerve at the right time to get his side over the line.
