After opting to field first, Delhi Daredevils got off to a good start with Nathan Coulter-Nile scalping the big wickets of Brendon McCullum (4) and Suresh Raina (4), inside the first six overs. He finished with match figures of 4-0-30-3.

IPL's highest run-getter, Suresh Raina, playing his first game after his wedding, failed to get going as he was cleaned up by Coulter-Nile early.

DD played two leg-spinners against CSK, and Imran Tahir and Amit Mishra were successful in curtailing the home team's run-rate in the middle overs. Tahir picked the wicket of Dwayne Smith and finished with miserly figures of 4-0-27-1.

Fellow leggie Amit Mishra's too impressed with figures of 4-0-21-1 and was successful in removing Ravindra Jadeja.

For CSK, Faf du Plessis made 32 off 24 balls with the help of three boundaries, before he was scalped by JP Duminy. CSK managed to score 150 for 7.

In defence of 150, CSK's Ashish Nehra derailed DD's chase picking three quick wickets and went on to finish with match figures of 4-0-25-3.

A lot was expected from 20-year-old Shreyas Iyer, but the youngster failed to live up to his billing and got out for seven in his first IPL outing.

Skipper JP Duminy might have been impressive on his captaincy debut for DD, but he too failed with the bat and got out at a very crucial juncture of the match.

But, Yuvraj Singh proved to be the biggest disappointment of the night, as the most expensive player of the IPL 8 could only manage nine runs off six balls, before perishing to a short ball.

Albie Morkel, promoted up the order, kept DD in the hunt and took his team agonising close to victory with a valiant 55-ball 73-run unbeaten knock, but DD fell short by just one run.
