The short break has worked wonders for Delhi Daredevils as they ended Sunrisers Hyderabad's winning streak by registering an easy seven-wicket win. The table-toppers Hyderabad, despite the defeat are sitting pretty on the top and Delhi climbing to the third spot with 12 points.
Delhi were without their regular captain and strike bowler Zaheer Khan, but in his absence Chris Morris and Nathan Coulter-Nile shined with brilliant spells. Skipper JP Duminy was all praise for the pace duo and overall bowling effort to restict Hyderabad to a modest total.
'Bowlers were brilliant'
"The bowling was exceptional in the last overs after they had a great start, but the way we came back was exceptional. We bank on those two to strike for us (NCN and Morris). It was a collective bowling effort," Duminy said.
Youngsters stepping up
"It's a short tournament and you have to put your best foot forward and we'll see how it goes. The youngsters have been performing very well, it's all about backing them. And they've been responding very well and it's been a delight for me to watch them," Duminy added.
'Bats are massive'
Man of the Match, Morris lauded the fellow bowlers for giving their 100 per cent and didn't miss out on the opportunity to mention about the big bats used by modern day batsmen.
"My job in the team is to bowl fast, and keep the run-rate down. No jokes, the bats are massive," Morris said.
