Moises Henriques has stolen teammate David Warner's thunder, belting 74 to lead the Sunrisers Hyderabad to a six-run victory over the Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League.
The Australian allrounder's 46-ball knock included an incredible five sixes and just one four in a late-innings flurry as the Sunrisers, batting first after Hyderabad skipper Warner won the toss, made 4-163 in Raipur on Saturday.
West Australian paceman Nathan Coulter-Nile (2-25) was impressive for the Daredevils, including the wicket of Warner, who is the IPL's second-leading run-scorer this season, for 17.
In reply, Delhi were restricted to 4-157.
South African opener Quinton de Kock (50 off 31 balls) was dismissed with the score 2-60 in the ninth over and slipped to 6-66 when Yuvraj Singh and JP Duminy were dismissed in the space of three balls.
Kedar Jadhav (63no) and Saurabh Tiwary (26no) combined for a 91-run partnership but the Daredevils - in desperate need of a win - fell short to sit second-last on the table.
They sit only above the George Bailey-led Kings XI Punjab, who were pipped again in Saturday's other match, this time by only one wicket and with one ball to spare.
Setting the Kolkata Knight Riders a victory target of 184 at Eden Gardens, Kings XI Punjab were on target for only their third win of the season when West Indies allrounder Andre Russell was out after hammering 51 from 21 balls.
However, Kolkata crept home to go to the top of the points table with the first one-wicket win in IPL history.
Earlier, Australia's Glenn Maxwell was in a brutal mood, hitting three sixes in his 43 off 22 balls while Bailey didn't face a ball after getting to the middle in the last over.
