Australia's Shane Watson could only manage 11 with the bat but his Chennai Super Kings defeated the struggling Royal Challengers Bangalore by six wickets to be second in the Indian Premier League standing on net run rate.
Sunrisers Hyderabad pulled off their highest successful chase in this IPL to sit top.
Kane Williamson (32) and Yusuf Pathan led Hyderabad to 3-164 to beat Delhi Daredevils by seven wickets with one ball remaining.
The Daredevils have won just three of their 10 games.
In Bangalore, spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Harbhajan Singh shared five wickets as Chennai defeated the struggling Royal Challengers.
Hyderabad and Chennai have seven wins, but Hyderabad have a game in hand.
Alex Hales (45) and Shikhar Dhawan (33) provided Hyderabad a confident start although Delhi should have removed Hales in the second over when Australian allrounder Glenn Maxwell dropped a sitter in the deep.
Legspinner Amit Mishra clean-bowled both openers in successive overs but Delhi missed another opportunity when Pathan was also dropped in the deep by Vijay Shankar in the 18th over before he scored.
With 14 required off the last over, Pathan hit 2-6-4-1 off Dan Christian's first four deliveries, and Williamson finished off Delhi.
Williamson scored 32 not out and Pathan hit two sixes and two fours in 27 not out off 12 balls.
In Bangalore, Jadeja picked up 3-18 and Harbhajan took 2-22 to restrict the home side to 9-127.
Chennai reached the target in 18 overs with captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (31 not out) smashing three sixes off legspinner Yuzvendra Chahal in a final over costing 22 runs.
"On surfaces such as these, Jadeja bowls very well ... and so did we as a team," Dhoni said.
"Identifying our death bowler before the knockouts is the only thing we're worried about and that's why we're making a few changes."
Parthiv Patel, playing his first game of the season, top-scored for Bangalore with 53 off 41 balls and Tim Southee's unbeaten 36 off 26 gave the total some respectability.
