Marcus Stoinis and Wriddhiman Saha both hit 52 for the hosts as the Kings posted 181-5.
And in reply, Daredevils opener Quinton de Kock also made 52 but supreme death bowling by Stoinis, who claimed 3-40 from his four overs, restricted their chase.

One of the best exhibitions of death bowling in this year's @ipl by @lionsdenkxip although @DelhiDaredevils will still wonder how they lost.
