Steyn is at strike. Steyn strikes the first ball good enough over covers for a couple. 4 needed off 5. And Steyn smashes the next ball straight down the ground for a boundary! Now this victory means that the Delhi Daredevils have lost their fourth match in a row! Amit Mishra 16*(14b) Dale Steyn 9*(5b) ==================================================================================== Over 19 || Score 109/7 Yadav brought back into the attack, 12 needed from 12.

Six runs from the over, six needed off six now. ==================================================================================== Over 18 || Score 103/7 After some thinking, Mahela brings Pathan back into the attack. And the Daredevils appealed for a run-out where they said Mishra got into the line of a throw, checked by the umpires and he is not-out as he wasn’t even looking at the throw. Perera was there at the crease for over twenty minutes and he had scored two runs from two balls. So when he got to play his third, he tried to hit it for a six, but it fell just inside the boundary into the safe hands of Johan Botha! Dale Steyn has come to the crease. Six runs from the over.

And he strikes first ball, Reddy is bowled! Reddy was at the strike and he tried to hit Morkel out of the park and was dismissed off a poor shot. Amit Mishra comes to the crease. Morkel bowls a front foot no ball. Mishra cannot score off the free-hit. But then he produces a terrific shot off a slower ball, connects well as the ball travels to the vacant deep midwicket area for a boundary! Eight runs from the over. 18 needed from 18. A Ashish Reddy b Morkel 16 (9b) ==================================================================================== Over 16 || Score 89/5 Umesh Yadav brought back into the attack after at expensive first over.

Reddy tried to make some room off the next ball, got a top edge that flew past third man for another boundary! Thirteen runs from the over. Those two hits from Reddy would have released some pressure off Perera. 26 needed from 24. ==================================================================================== Over 15 || Score 76/5 Morkel brought back into the attack. And the move works as Hanuma Vihari is caught at mid off! It was a brave shot from Vihari who tried to clear Botha at mid off, didn’t succeed and the crowd has erupted! Seven runs from the over.

The pressure was building up and Warner tried to clear the man at mid on, didn’t connect and Warner is out for a duck! Huge blow for the Delhi Daredevils as Warner was in some fine form in the last two matches (77, 61) . Mahela Jayawardene is the new batsman. And guess what, he nicks the first ball and Parthiv Patel gets his gloves to it but then grasses it. And Steyn ends the over with another good ball which went to first slip for no run. So it’s a maiden over to begin with for Steyn! DA Warner c Anand Rajan b Steyn 0 (4b) ==================================================================================== TOSS:Delhi have won the toss and Mahela has decided to bat first. After losing three matches in a row, Delhi Daredevils would be desperate to register their first victory as they lock horns with the Sunrisers Hyderabad who have won two matches out of three in the Indian Premier League. Delhi would be high on confidence after the return of Virender Sehwag who missed the first three games due to injury. Delhi’s batting line up this year hasn’t been formidable after they missed the services of Kevin Pietersen and Jesse Ryder for the entire tournament. Mahela Jayawardene has been in some good form Warner getting back into his groove is something which could have increased their confidence. Sunrisers Hyderabad have been in great form in this edition and their players have been delivering as a unit, something which has worked against the toughest of the opponents. Thisara Perera has been their top player with the bat and the ball while Dale Steyn and Cameron White have played their roles pretty well so far.
