Delhi Daredevils did well to bring in consecutive second match win in IPL 2015 as they got past the fighting Sunrisers Hyderabad tail to win the Match 13 by four runs. Playing an away match at the ACA-VDCA Stadium, Vishakhapatnam, Daredevils side rode on the heroics of their skipper JP Duminy (54 and 4-17) who shone with both bat and ball. The match that eventually went down the wire saw an acrobatic Mayank Agarwal who saved the match for the visiting side and eventually leading to the much-needed win.

Opting to bat, Daredevils did not start well as they lost opening batsman Mayank Agarwal (1) cheaply in only the third over. But a 78-run second-wicket partnership between Iyer and Duminy revived the innings. The two performances were the only notable contributions from the Daredevils batsmen. Iyer played a superb innings of 40 balls which included five sixes and three boundaries while South African Duminy hit five boundaries and two sixes.
While chasing, the Sunrisers took off well with opening batsmen Shikhar Dhawan (18) and captain David Warner (28) striking a 50-run stand. However, a brilliant seventh over from spinner Duminy sent back both the openers and turned the match in favour of the visitors. Ravi Bopara (41) and Lokesh Rahul (24) came out with crucial contributions for the home side but regular fall of wickets slowed down the flow of runs.
However, despite the fall of wickets, the Sunrisers were able to maintain a strong run rate, helping them needing only 10 runs off the last over. But a brilliant last over from pace bowler Nathan Coulter-Nile helped the Daredevils allow the Sunrisers only five runs, bagging the match. Inputs from IANS.
