CSK secures seventh victory with an all-star bowling performance
In the recent IPL match between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Delhi Capitals, CSK emerged victorious with a comfortable margin of 18 runs. CSK batted first and managed to score a total of 167 runs, with Shivam Dube being their highest scorer with 25 runs. However, six other CSK batters also made significant contributions, with MS Dhoni hitting 20 runs in just nine balls. Dhoni’s late hits helped CSK reach a respectable total.
In response, Delhi Capitals struggled to get going from the start, losing early wickets and failing to rotate the strike. CSK’s Deepak Chahar removed both Capitals openers early on, giving CSK the upper hand. Moeen Ali and Ravindra Jadeja further tightened the squeeze on Capitals after they slid to 25 for 3. Despite the efforts of Manish Pandey and Rilee Rossouw, Capitals fell short of the target. Pandey made 27 runs in 29 balls, while Rossouw scored 35 runs in 37 balls. Axar Patel gave a brief glimmer of hope with a quick 20 runs, but his dismissal in the 18th over ended Capitals’ hopes. Lalit Yadav hit Matheesha Pathirana for a hat-trick of fours in the final over, but Pathirana picked off a third scalp in the game’s penultimate delivery to finish with 3 for 37.
CSK spinners’ stranglehold after the powerplay restricted Capitals, and with this win, CSK has almost secured a top-four finish with 15 points in 12 games. If CSK manages to win one more game out of their next two matches, they will secure a top-two position. However, Delhi Capitals can now only reach 14 points at best, which may not be enough for them to qualify for the playoffs.
In the first innings, CSK struggled initially, but Dube’s partnership with Ambati Rayudu helped them recover. Dhoni’s cameo at the end also boosted their total. After the game, Dhoni stated that his role in the team is to hit late in the innings, and he is happy to contribute to the team’s success. In the end, the total of 167 proved too much for Delhi Capitals on a sluggish Chepauk surface, and CSK emerged victorious.
