Cape Town - Deepak Hooda smashed a half century for the Rajasthan Royals, to inflict an 11th consecutive Indian Premier League defeat on the Delhi Daredevils at the Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi on Sunday.
Tim Southee (seven not out) hit the final ball from Angelo Mathews (4-0-42-1) to the boundary as the Royals ended on 186 for seven in reply to Delhi’s 184 for three after Steve Smith had won the toss and asked JP Duminy’s Daredevils to bat first.
Despite Southee striking the winning runs off the final ball, it was man of the match Hooda who put his team into a winning position with a brilliant, yet fortuitous, 54 off 25 balls which included three boundaries and four maximums.
