DELHI WIN BY 6 WICKETS!!!

Delhi 161-4 (20 ovs) vs Hyderabad 158-7 | Scorecard


Bhuvneshwar to bowl the final over with 11 needed for victory.

Samson hits the first ball to fine leg for two runs but gets just a single from the second ball.

Bhuvi bowls a good short ball, straight on Nair's body, who somehow steers it on the off-side for one, 7 needed from three balls for victory.

Samson is beaten off the fourth ball but is beaten as he takes a quick leg bye.

Nair smashes the fifth ball past mid-off to get a vital boundary as Warner makes a desperate dive running to his left from mid-on.

Nair pulls the last ball through midwicket for a four to take his team to victory as Warner fails to stop the ball inside the circle.

Delhi scamper to a much-needed six-wicket victory courtesy largely of Nair, who stroked a brilliant 83 not out from 59 balls, hitting eight fours and three sixes.

The victory keeps Delhi's hopes alive of making it to the play-offs, they are 7th in the table with 14 points from 13 games. It sets up a thrilling last round of games with Royal Challengers Bangalore, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Mumbai Indians also on 14 points from the same number of matches.
