DD goes live with Duminy show

yuviVisakhapatnam, Skipper Jean-Paul Duminy led from the front with a brilliant all-round display as Delhi Daredevils pipped Sunrisers Hyderabad by four runs in a thrilling IPL match.
Duminy first smashed 54 off 41 balls as Daredevils scored a decent 167/4 and then chipped in with four wickets as the visitors kept their nerves in the crucial stages of the nail-biting contest to restrict Sunrisers to 163/8 and record their second successive win at the ACA-VDCA Stadium. Needing just 10 runs off the last over with Ashish Reddy and Karn Sharma at the crease, Nathan Coulter-Nile got the former run-out in the second ball of the over. Two balls later, with Hyderabad needing seven runs from two deliveries, Karn went for a huge hit towards the point boundary but Mayank Agarwal went back to the edge of the rope, leapt up and effected a goalkeeper like save as he parried the ball back in play saving what looked like a sureshot six. Mayank’s superb save made all the difference in the end and the last ball of the match resulted in Sharma getting out, handing Delhi their second consecutive win. Earlier, Delhi Daredevils managed to get on board a competitive score, thanks to fearless batting by young Shreyas Iyer (60 off 40 balls) and Duminy (54) on a difficult pitch.
In reply, the Sunrisers seemed set to achieve the target as they were cruising at 50 for no loss in just six overs, but Duminy changed the equation, grabbing four for 17 to guide the team to victory. Coulter-Nile, Angelo Mathews and Imran Tahir took a wicket apiece. Duminy accounted for the top order, seeing off David Warner (28), Shikhar Dhawan (18) and Ravi Bopara (41). — PTI
