A brilliant bowling performance led by pacer Nathan Coulter-Nile helped Delhi Daredevils restrict Kings XI Punjab to 118/8 in 20 overs in an Indian Premier League (IPL) clash at the Ferozeshah Kotla here on Friday.

Put in to bat, Kings XI were reduced to 10/4 by the fourth over as the visitors' top-4 failed to click and got out for single-digits.

They were further tottering at 45/6 in the 10th over but South Africa's David Miller (42) led a revival as he anchored the innings to help his side cross the 100-run mark. Miller's 41-ball innings included four boundaries and a six.

Captain George Bailey (18) and Axar Patel (22) also made significant contributions when all other batsman failed to reach double-digits.

However, the Daredevils bowlers were on the spot today as Coulter-Nile picked up a fantastic 4/20 from his four overs. The Australian was given good backing by Zaheer Khan, who returned to the squad with impressive figures of 4-0-17-2.

Captain JP Duminy and spinner Amit Mishra also picked up a wicket each for the hosts, who play the last match of the 2015 season here.
