Raipur: An unbeaten 74 from Moises Henriques and a tidy bowling spell from Bhuvneshwar Kumar (1/20) helped Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Delhi Daredevils by six runs here on Saturday. Chasing 163, Kedhar Jadhav’s unbeaten 63 off 34 balls wasn’t enough to help Delhi past the target as they managed to score only 157 for four.
Earlier, Australian all-rounder Moises Henriques struck a gritty fifty to lift SunRisers Hyderabad to 163 for four against a struggling Delhi Daredevils in their IPL cricket match, here on Saturday.
Henriques (74 not out) managed stick around with a wobbly top-order to finally stitch a crucial 64-run unbeaten fifth wicket stand with Ravi Bopara (17 not out) and take SRH to a respectable total at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium.

Veteran DD pacer Zaheer Khan (1-33) drew first blood after scalping Shikhar Dhawan (13) in the fourth over of the game. The left-hander tried to flick an incoming delivery from the left-arm pacer but mistimed the shot to lob an easy catch to Albie Morkel at midwicket Nathan Coulter-Nile (2-25) struck in the very next over to send David Warner (17) back in the dug out, just when the skipper was looking dangerous.
