IPL8 – Sun Risers Hyderabad beat Delhi Daredevils to move up to 4th position

#IPL8 #SRHvsDD #KedarJadhav # BhuvaneshwarKumar The venue of Raipur was the second home of Delhi Daredevils and a new one and no one knew how the pitch would behave but, winning the toss, SRH elected to bat first. However, Moises Henriques put on an unbeaten 74 to allow SRH to post 163 for four in 20 overs as reported in zeenews.india.com dated 10 May 2015.

Later, the bowling of wily and crafty Bhuvaneshwar Kumar ensured that Delhi Daredevils lose by 6 runs and Sun Risers Hyderabad move up the points table to 4th position and remain in the hunt for the playoffs.
It was a disappointment for Delhi players Kedar Jadhav (63 not out) and Saurabh Tiwary (26 not out) who had tried to stave off the inevitable with a 91-run unbeaten stand.
Kedar Jadhav hit 63 not out in 34-balls – his score comprised 8 fours and 2 sixes. In company pf Sourav Tiwary the duo raised hopes of a successful run chase with a good-looking fifth wicket stand but just could not finish off.
With 22 needed in the last two overs, Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled a near-perfect penultimate over by conceding just 6 runs. Then came Ishant Sharma who kept a tight leash on his bowling and never allowed Delhi Daredevils to get the 16 runs off the final 6 deliveries even though his first ball had been hit for a boundary.
