IPL 2019, DC vs CSK, Today’s Match Preview: Delhi Capitals (DC) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will clash in the fifth match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) on Monday at the Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi. Both sides are high on confidence after making a winning start to their campaigns this season. While CSK defeated Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in this edition’s opening match at Chennai by seven wickets, DC thumped Mumbai Indians (MI) by 37 runs in their first match.

MS Dhoni (L) captain of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Shreyas Iyer captain of Delhi Capitals (DC). Sportzpics[/caption] The Tuesday encounter is seen as a contest between the experience of MS Dhoni and Co and youth force of Shreyas Iyer’s side. Apart from Dhoni, CSK are blessed with some of the biggest veterans of the T20 game including Shane Watson, Harbhajan Singh, Imran Tahir and Dwayne Bravo, who defied the talks of age being a factor in the shortest format of the game last season as they led Chennai to the title in 2018. In their first game against RCB, Harbahajan and Tahir wreaked havoc as Bangalore were bundled out for 70. On the other hand, perennial underachievers DC made an impressive start to the 2019 season with youngster Rishabh Pant mesmerising the Mumbai crowd with some brutal hitting. Pant smashed 78 off 27 against Mumbai and would remain a big threat for Chennai bowlers. Meanwhile, young captain Iyer and opener Prithvi Shaw would also be eager to impress against the defending champions. However, DC would know that history is against them when it comes to their record against CSK. In 18 matches so far between these two sides in IPL, CSK has emerged victorious on 12 occasions. However, DC have won 2 out of the previous 3 matches against CSK. Delhi Capitals vs Chennai Super Kings Full Squads: Delhi Capitals Team 2019 Players list: Colin Ingram, Manjot Karla, Prithvi Shaw, Sherfane Rutherford, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Amit Mishra, Avesh Khan, Bandaru Ayyappa, Harshal Patel, Ishant Sharma, Kasigo Rabada, Nathu Singh, Sandeep Lamichhane, Trent Boult, Axar Patel, Chris Morris, Colin Munro, Hanuma Vihari, Jalaj Saxena, Keemo Paul, Rahul Tewatia, Ankush Bains and Rishabh Pant.

The CSK juggernaut is already on the roll in IPL 2019. Two wins out of two matches. MS Dhoni retained the same side that defeated RCB in the first match and they have once again shown that they remain the team to beat. DC, meanwhile, look like a team which is still looking for the perfect balance. Changes to be expected going forward. But that’s all for tonight.
We will see you tomorrow for KKR’s match against KXIP at 8 PM. Till then, goodbye!
With the big Daddy overseeing the win
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
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.
