Delhi Daredevils won by 6 wickets

Delhi Daredevils won the toss and elected to field. Sunrisers 158 was set up mainly by David Warner’s 73 executed with sensational timing all his efforts were in vain. In one four David Warner backs away and closes the bat face at the last moment to work the ball past mid-on. SRH and Delhi both scored 68 runs in the first ten overs  but SRH scored 90 runs in the last ten, DD scored 93.   SRH has committed many errors in this matches with dropped catches, several run outs Karun Nair’s unbeaten 83 off 59, with 8 fours and 3 sixes, helped Delhi Daredevils to move to 14 points and stay alive. David Warner  was disappointed and said  “ Our fielding was sloppy”.
