DD’s chase did not get off to the best of starts as they lost Quinton de Kock early.
Karun and Rishabh Pant put on 73 runs for the second wicket, but Pant was run out by Bhuvneshwar Kumar, which slowed the run rate a bit. JP Duminy tried his best to get going, but managed to get only 17.
Carlos Brathwaite had a field day with ball in hand, but was dismissed for a 7-ball 10.
Sanju Samson came in at No. 6 and was there till the end. Nair however managed to soak in all the pressure and guide his team home. DD needed 11 off the final over. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the bowler, but could not contain the two youngsters
Earlier, David Warner scores crucial half-century for SRH, which takes them to a good score of 158 for 7.
Warner and Dhawan got SRH off to a good start, with Warner doing the bulk of the scoring. Dhawan was dismissed due to some excellent fielding from Carlos Brathwaite, who dismissed Dhawan at the non-striker’s end.
Deepak Hooda, who comes at No. 3, did not last long at the crease as he was also run out after some excellent fielding from Amit Mishra off his own bowling.
Yuvraj Singh was dismissed for just 10 as an inside edge off Brathwaite cut his innings short.
There was a decent partnership between Moises Henriques and Warner, but Henriques tried to take JP Duminy on and his slog sweep went straight into the hands of Pawan Negi in the deep.
Warner looked more dangeroud after scoring a fifty, but DD will think that they picked him up just at the right time. He mistimed a cur from Brathwaite and the ball went straight down the throat of third man.
