IPL 2017: Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Delhi Daredevils by 15 runs

Defending champions Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Delhi Daredevils by 15 runs at Hyderabad last night. Opting to bat, Hyderabad posted 191 for 4 riding on a 136-run second wicket stand between New Zealand's Kane Williamson and opener Shikhar Dhawan. Williamson, playing his first game of the season, made 89, while Dhawan scored 70.

In reply, the 192-run target proved a little too much as Delhi could only make 176 in the alloted 20 overs despite a half century by Shreyas



Iyer and impressive batting by Angelo Mathews, Karun Nair and Sanju Samson. Medium-pacer Mohammed Siraj bagged the maximum of 2 wickets for Hyderabad. Williamson was named man of the match.

Hyderabad are now second in the 8-team points table with 4 wins in 6 games, while Delhi is fourth with 2 victories in 5 matches. Kolkata Knight Riders are at the top.

Today, Kings Eleven Punjab will meet Mumbai Indians at Indore at 8 in the evening.
