Preview: After suffering an eight-wicket defeat against Mumbai Indians (MI), table-toppers Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be keen to get back to winning ways when they face a resurgent Delhi Daredevils in an Indian Premier League (IPL) match on Monday. The Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led Chennai side was hammered by Mumbai at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium on Saturday. However, the yellow brigade continues to maintain the top spot in the points table. While Chennai has five wins from seven games with 10 points in their kitty, Delhi languishes at the bottom with just a couple of wins from seven games and four points.

Sportzpics[/caption] Despite Saturday’s defeat, Chennai will be looking to continue their dream run in the league. Most of the CSK batters – Shane Watson, Ambati Rayadu, Dwayne Bravo and skipper Dhoni – are in form. Also, Suresh Raina found his touch with the willow as the southpaw smashed a 47-ball unbeaten 75 against Mumbai, comprising six fours and four sixes. While Rayudu has amassed 329 runs from seven games, averaging 47, Dhoni and Watson have accumulated 235 and 203 runs respectively. The Chennai batters have fired on more than one occasion, guiding CSK home. The yellow brigade has the ability to put a massive total on board or chase any challenging target. In the bowling department, Shardul Thakur and Deepak Chahar have been impressive, leading Chennai’s pace attack. But in the previous match Chahar got injured so this might worry the Southern outfit. While Thakur has eight wickets from six games, Chahar and Dwayne Bravo have six and seven wickets respectively from seven games. Also, all-rounder Watson has six wickets with an economy rate of around eight. Leg-spinner Imran Tahir, medium-pacer Dwayne Bravo and leggie Karn Sharma have also made breakthroughs for CSK at crucial moments. On the other hand, Delhi will be high on confidence under new skipper Shreyas Iyer, who led his side to a thumping 55-run victory over Kolkata Knight Riders. However, Delhi needs to continue their winning spree to keep themselves in the play-off hunt. The Delhi franchise will hope that Iyer continues to lead from the front as he did with a match-winning unbeaten 93 against Kolkata. Also, other batters like opener Prithvi Shaw, Rishabh Pant and all rounders Glenn Maxwell will need to come out with their best against Chennai. Delhi’s bowling came together as a unit against Kolkata and to trouble a star-studded CSK batting line-up, the visitors will have to bowl out of their skin. Overall, in their current form, Chennai will be the favourites in Monday’s game at their adopted home ground here.

After 19 overs,Delhi Daredevils 184/5 ( Vijay Shankar 44 , Rahul Tewatia 1)
Three sixes off the penultimate over, brings it down to 28 off the last over. Mathematically still possible, but Shankar will have to hit at least three sixes once again. Ngidi to bowl the final over.
After 18 overs,Delhi Daredevils 163/5 ( Vijay Shankar 25 , Rahul Tewatia 0)
Lots of fun in CSK camp. Jadeja going down the floor after taking the catch and celebrating. Ngidi too enjoyed his first wicket. Six runs off the over. 49 needed off 12 balls.
OUT! Exactly where MS Dhoni wanted his bowlers too bowl. They kept bowling in Rishabh’s range who could smack it on the onside all this while, Ngidi uses all his height to get the ball and bowled it wide off the offstump, Pant only manages to hit it high but never got the power behind it giving Jadeja at deep point an easy catch. End of a valiant innings from Pant. Lungi’s first IPL wicket Pant (apologises for the pun)
Pant c Jadeja b Lungi Ngidi 79(45)
After 17 overs,Delhi Daredevils 157/4 ( Rishabh Pant (W) 75 , Vijay Shankar 24)
Pant has taken it upon himself as he keeps plucking away. Strikes couple of boundaries. Tried to scoop it over the wicket-keeper, but no pace from Bravo’s mean he can only take two runs off that ball. 55 off 18 required
After 16 overs, Delhi Daredevils 146/4 ( Rishabh Pant (W) 65 , Vijay Shankar 23)
Asif too goes short to Shankar who is only able to pull it away, not very confidently though for a single. Then Pant launches an onslaught against the debutant. 18 off the over.
After 15 overs,Delhi Daredevils 128/4 ( Rishabh Pant (W) 48 , Vijay Shankar 22)
Replays show us that Rayudu who has seen lot of Vijay Shankar wanted Bravo to bowl short to the batsman, the full ball was hit over long on but once Bravo pulled the length back, he was able to keep it down to singles in the remaining delivering. 84 required 30 balls
After 14 overs,Delhi Daredevils 117/4 ( Rishabh Pant (W) 45 , Vijay Shankar 14)
Harbhajan’s last over doesn’t quiet go according to the plan. He gave 13 off the first three overs while ends up giving 13 off the final over. Finishes with 26 against his name.
After 13 overs,Delhi Daredevils 104/4 ( Rishabh Pant (W) 37 , Vijay Shankar 9)
Vijay Shankar too is trying to slog it out of the park but isn’t able to did it against Jadeja, who bowls his fourth over, giving away seven runs off the last over and finished his spell for 31 runs with the wicket of Maxwell.
DD have been looking shaky since the start of the innings. Munro hit some brutal sixes but loss of quick wickets has not gone down well with them.
After 12 overs,Delhi Daredevils 97/4 ( Rishabh Pant (W) 35 , Vijay Shankar 6)
Harbhajan continues to keeping it tidy. Experience shown by Harbhajan he getting it some air and being fearless. Five singles off the over.
