 Delhi 132-3 (16 ovs) vs Hyderabad | Scorecard

Bopara's bowling has been a bonus for Hyderabad in IPL and once again he will complete his quota of four overs here.

Duminy is keen not to let the opportunity as he goes after Bopara and smashes the second ball powerfully down the ground for a four.

That forces wicketkeeper Ojha to stand up to the stumps. Duminy misses the fine nudge to a leg side wide as it goes off his pads but Ojha does well to stop it and makes a futile appeal for caught behind.

Bopara bowls a poor short ball as he attempts the slower bouncer which Duminy pulls through midwicket for the second four of the over. The last ball is picked off his pads and deposited over the long-on fence for a six to make it 15 runs from the 15 over.

Bopara's final over proves costly for Hyderabad as Duminy timed his attack to perfection and has raced to 47 from 38 balls, having hit five fours and a six.

Hyderabad's run rate has gone over the eight runs per over mark as they reach 121 for two in 15 overs.

Warner looks desperate for a wicket as he decides to complete Steyn's spell, in the 16th over.

No holding back as far as Duminy is concerned as he makes room and lofts his compatriot Steyn over long-on for another six, to race to his fifty from 39 balls.

Yuvraj looks to initially duck under a short ball before deciding to pull it at the last moment for two runs to deep square leg.

Steyn gets revenge as he cleans up Duminy with the last delivery of his spell. The left-hander is bowled after a superb innings of 54 from 41 balls, inclusive of five fours and two sixes.

Steyn finishes with one for 27 in four overs in his first game of IPL 8 despite going for 11 in his final over.
