He bowled a superb nineteenth over and bombarding the  batsmen with Yorkers. That not only contained the runs but Morkel also  managed to send a settled Brad Hodge back to pavilion, giving away just  three runs in the over.<\/p>\n<p>With Owais Shah on crease with Rahane and 12 runs to win, Sehwag  handed over the ball to Umesh Yadav and the youngster bowled his heart  out. First three balls of Yadav yielded just two runs and the pressure  on Royals were evident. But then that classy shot from Rahane for a six  brought them back into the game and a two off next ball made them the  favourites again. However clever bowling from Yadav saw Rahane missing  the ball and in an attempt to take a run for a tie, Owais Shah ran  himself out.<\/p>\n<p>Delhi now have 14 points and continue to cement their place at the top of the standings. Royals have 8.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier  batting first, riding on Virender Sehwag&#8217;s 63 the hosts could manage  only 152 on a batting friendly track at Feroze Shah Kotla. Sehwag was in  sublime touch and gave his team a good start despite the early wickets  of Mahela Jayawardena (6) and Kevin Pietersen (5). While the Sri Lankan  was removed by Pankaj Singh, Pietersen fell to Ankeet Chavan. Sehwag  smashed eight boundaries and two sixes en route to his personal march  towards the orange cap, completing his fourth consecutive half-century.  The other end though, was in complete shambles with Pankaj Singh  retuning to claim Ross Taylor (25 off 35) and Amit Singh dislodging  Naman Ojha (11 off 11).<\/p>\n<p>Crediting the Delhi team for the  thrilling victory, Ajinkya Rahane, who nearly snatched the match from  the hand of the hosts, said that Daredevils played good cricket. \u201cAll  credit goes to the Delhi team. They played really well. Morne was superb  today. His last over was very crucial,\u201d said Rahane, who made 84 of 63  balls has made him the highest run-getter in IPL-5 so far.<\/p>\n<p>Rahane  added that they would like to beat Delhi at their home ground when they  play them next. \u201cBut then we need to do weel to beat Delhi. I and Rahul  Dravid have been doing well at the top and would like to continue with  the good opening stand that we have been giving so far. Stll seven games  are left and we would like to get back to winning ways,\u201d said Rahane.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile,  Morkel said that he had been working hard on his Yorkers. \u201cI have been  practicing hard on my Yorkers. It was a good match today. There were  anxious moments. Rahane played well and put pressure on us with his  batting. It was a good win at the end,\u201d said Morkel<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"images\/cricket\/delhidaredevils.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Daredevils defeat Rajasthan Royals in another last ball finish\" width=\"250\" style=\"float: left; margin: 6px;\" \/>New Delhi: <\/strong>Morne Morkel\u2019s penultimate over changed the match  in Delhi Daredevils favour as the hosts managed to beat Rajasthan Royals  by one run in an IPL encounter at Ferozeshah Kotla here on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Requiring  just 15 runs of the last 12 balls with nine wickets in hands, the match  was all but over in Royals favour but Morne Morkel had different plans  with his Yorkers.
