Delhi Daredevils Young Indian Brigade Shines Again As Win Over SRH Takes Them To 3rd


Delhi Daredevils produced an all-round effort and defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by seven wickets to jump to the third spot in the ongoing 2016 Indian Premier League. Opting to bowl, the Daredevils first dished out a superb bowling performance to restrict the Sunrisers to a modest 146 for eight and then chased down the target with consummate ease in 18.1 overs, riding on a fine half-century stand between youngsters Sanju Samson (34 not out off 26) and Risabh Pant (39 not out off 26). By virtue of this win, the Daredevils have moved up to the third spot in the standings with 12 points from 10 games. Despite the loss, the Sunrisers continued to lead the table with 14 points from 11 matches. Chasing 147 for win, the Daredevils made a decent start, reaching 20 off the first three overs, before Mayank Agarwal (10) drove a length delivery from Ashish Nehra (1/23) straight into the hands of Yuvraj Singh at extra cover. Quinton de Kock (44 off 31), however, looked in ominous mood and flicked Nehra over square-leg for a massive six and then followed it up with a boundary.
