Incredible end to an incredible game which SRH clinched by 6 runs.
If Karn Sharma's two-wicket burst helped them stall DD's innings then Ishant Sharma held his nerve to ensure that SRH won the game in the final over.
Despite Quinton De Kock's blistering 50 early on, DD lost key wickets and threw away the momentum.
Kedar Jadhav's fiery 63 was the other positive as it ensured that DD took the game till the fag end.
Two points for SRH in their quest for qualification whereas it is another disappointing night for DD.
