Nathan Coulter-Nile kept his nerves to bowl a superb last over as the Delhi Daredevils kept their nerves to claim a narrow four-run win in a nail-biter against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League.
The Australian right-armer was entrusted with bowling the final over with the Hyderabad side needing 10 runs to win but gave away only five runs and also claimed two wickets to ensure the points for his side.
Batting first, Delhi had posted a decent score of 167 in Visakhapatnam courtesy of half-centuries from opener Shreyas Iyer, 60 off 40 balls, and skipper JP Duminy, 54 off 41.
Despite a 50-run opening stand in the mandatory six-over powerplay, Hyderabad faltered as they kept losing wickets in regular intervals.
