New Delhi, May 2: Putting up an excellent display of batting in their run chase, Delhi Daredevils came back strongly to crush Sunrisers Hyderabad by 6 wickets in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2017 clash here on Tuesday (May 2).

Chasing a target of 186 on a not so easy pitch, young Delhi batters stepped out and delivered to chase down the total with 5 balls to spare.

Young Delhi guns i.e. Sanju Samson (24 off 19), captain Karun Nair (39 off 20), Rishabh Pant (34 off 20) and Shreyas Iyer (33 off 25) along with Corey Anderson (41 off 24) fired to help their side notch up the win.

With this win, Delhi have kept their hopes of making it to the playoffs alive.

Yuvraj made most of the dropped chance by Sanju Samson, when he was batting at 30, and made Delhi pay for their sloppy piece of fielding at Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium.

The southpaw was dropped by Samson at deep square leg went on to bring up his fifty in 34 balls as the visitors accumulated 71 runs in the last five overs.

Put into bat, skipper David Warner (30 from 21) and Shikhar Dhawan (28 from 17) gave the visitors a flying start before Mohammed Shami broke the partnership.

Earlier, Daredevils' stand-in captain Karun Nair won the toss and invited Sunrisers to bat first.

Team's captain Zaheer Khan has still not recovered from the injury and team would be missing the presence of their seasoned campaigner. Hosts Delhi made a couple of changes in their side against a dominant Hyderabad side.
