DC vs CSK Highlights, IPL 2019 at Delhi, Full Cricket Score: Chennai Super Kings win by six wickets, register second victory

With the big Daddy overseeing the win

Only fitting that Bravo should hit the winning shot, albeit after some anxious moments. He was the one to trigger DC collapse too. Superb win for CSK. ‘Dad’s Army’ marches on!

Chennai Super Kings WIN!!

FOUR! Bravo swings one to square leg and leads CSK to six-wicket win over DC. Second win for CSK in two matches.

After 20 overs,Chennai Super Kings 150/4 ( MS Dhoni (C) (W) 32 , Dwayne Bravo 4)

Most sixes in IPL:

296 – Chris Gayle
187 – AB de Villiers, MS DHONI*
186 – Suresh Raina

WICKET! Jadhav out! Jadhav does all the hard work and falls at the cusp. A wide, short ball from Rabada which Jadhav edges to Pant trying to cut it to point.

Kedar Jadhav c Pant b Rabada 27(34). VSK: 146/4.

After 19 overs,Chennai Super Kings 146/3 ( Kedar Jadhav 27 , MS Dhoni (C) (W) 32)

Dhoni hitting a straight six. There’s nothing better than that. Loppy delivery from Mishra and Dhoni smokes it down the ground. High and handsome. Two needed in last over.

After 18 overs,Chennai Super Kings 137/3 ( Kedar Jadhav 25 , MS Dhoni (C) (W) 25)

MSD takes a double first ball this time with a cut to backward point. It should have been just one but over throw allowed for a double. Bunts the next ball to same area for another single. A cover drive for Jadhav for one and then a typical whiplash by Dhoni through covers for a four. A double on last ball. 11 off the over. 11 more needed in last two overs.

After 17 overs,Chennai Super Kings 126/3 ( Kedar Jadhav 24 , MS Dhoni (C) (W) 16)

Dhoni looking to take this match to the final ball? Played five dot balls there from Axar before finally getting one away to long-on for a single. CSK need in 22 in 18 balls.

After 16 overs,Chennai Super Kings 125/3 ( Kedar Jadhav 24 , MS Dhoni (C) (W) 15)

Rabada back into attack and concedes five runs. CSK are just ambling to the target. They need 23 runs more in 24 balls to win. Time for strategic timeout. DC desperately needed this.

After 15 overs,Chennai Super Kings 120/3 ( Kedar Jadhav 22 , MS Dhoni (C) (W) 12)

Jadhav collects a single on first ball with a late cut to third man off Axar. Dhoni adds another single with a bunt to cover. Chennai need 28 runs in 30 balls.

After 14 overs,Chennai Super Kings 118/3 ( Kedar Jadhav 21 , MS Dhoni (C) (W) 11)

DC need wickets and they are doing everything wrong here. First an over throw from Axar allows CSK to take an extra single. Jadhav’s pull shot is dropped by Dhawan at mid-wicket, however, to be fair it was very high. And then a no ball by Paul and a free-hit, thankfully that only goes for one run.

While the crowd goes “Dhoni! Dhoni!” for Ziva its “Daddy Daddy”

After 13 overs,Chennai Super Kings 112/3 ( Kedar Jadhav 17 , MS Dhoni (C) (W) 10)

Axar returns to attack. Dhoni collects three on first two balls, a double with a jab to cover and then a single with a drive to point. Jadhav takes a single with a flick to fine leg. Chennai need 36 runs in 42 balls.

After 12 overs,Chennai Super Kings 108/3 ( Kedar Jadhav 16 , MS Dhoni (C) (W) 7)

Medium pacer Keemo Paul has been called into attack. Did well against Mumbai and starts off at Kolta by giving away just three runs in his first over. CSK need 40 runs in 48 balls to win.

Suresh Raina has perished now after a useful 30. He was consistent with getting starts in last year’s IPL also, but never quite kicked on to register that big score. It’s something Raina should be looking to improve on this year.

Amit Mishra is the only bowler who has looked threatening from Delhi. One goes back to the toss where we were surprised why Delhi didn’t pick Sandeep Lamichhane, a gun leggie in this format. CSK is a good team on its own, RCB earlier and Delhi now getting their selection wrong are making things difficult for themselves.

After 11 overs,Chennai Super Kings 105/3 ( Kedar Jadhav 15 , MS Dhoni (C) (W) 5)

DC are still in it. Mishra gets a wicket for them, dismisses Raina. It was another slider as Raina looked to guide it to third man but edged it to Pant. Dhoni comes out to bat and is welcomed with a Wrong ‘un as MSD goes for a cut and edges it just past Iyer at slip for a four. Eight off the over.

MS Dhoni’s last five innings against DC in IPL:

27, 11, 5, 51*, 17

Did you know?

This was the 22nd time that Raina was dismissed by a leg-spinner in IPL – the most among all the players. The second highest is Robin Uthappa with 20 such dismissals.

Delhi welcomes the opposition captain

Boy, the roar to welcome dhoni here ..he really is a cult hero, chants of dhoni dhoni dhoni around the kotla..#DCvCSK

WICKET! Raina out! A quicker one from Mishra fired in as Raina looked to guide it to third man but edges it to Pant.

Raina c Pant b Mishra 30(16). CSK: 98/3.

After 10 overs,Delhi Capitals 65/1 ( Shikhar Dhawan 24 , Shreyas Iyer (C) 15)

Tewatia fails to build pressure from the other end. Can’t do much against quality batting of CSK. Raina comes down against him to reach to the pitch of the ball to tonk it straight down the ground. Jadhav also gets a four with a late cut with the spin to backward point. There was a top-edge as well off Jadhav but fell safely. 12 off the over.

Overseas players most times dismissed by leg-spinners in IPL:

18 – AB de Villiers
14 – Glenn Maxwell
13 – Kieron Pollard/Brendon McCullum/Shane Watson*

After 9 overs,Chennai Super Kings 85/2 ( Suresh Raina 23 , Kedar Jadhav 8)

Excellent over from Mishra. DC need wickets but they also need to restrict flow of runs. Just four from this over. A couple of singles each for Raina and Jadhav.

After 8 overs,Chennai Super Kings 81/2 ( Suresh Raina 21 , Kedar Jadhav 6)

DC have gone with spin from both ends. Calls up Tewatia who starts off by leaking 8 runs. Five singles and a short ball to Jadhav which is dispatched to mid-wicket ropes.
