DC WIN!! Clinical win from Delhi Capitals, who make it two wins in two games.Having set CSK 176 to win, which at the midway stage, they would've thought to have been at least 20 short, was more than enough in the end, as they restricted Chennai to 131/7 to pick up a 44-run win. Delhi, after being asked to bat first, were impressively disciplined from the start. A superb start from Delhi's openers set the platform for a big score. Shaw got to a half-century after a let-off early on as CSK pulled things towards the end as Delhi finished with 175/3 with the frontline pacers in Deepak Chahar and Josh Hazlewood failing to pick up a wicket.

In a high-scorer, CSK's openers struggled with DC's talented bowling lot coming to the fore. Watson and Vijay struggled upfront, with too much dependence on Faf du Plessis once again, who got among the runs. Dhoni came in earlier than he did in the last two games, but with the slow start they had, it hurt the chase, with no point of recovery. All in all, credit should be given where due, Delhi were outstanding today, ticking all boxes, except maybe their catching, with a few dropped catches, that they'd like to better going forward.

Hope you've enjoyed watching DC's superb bowling today. Thank you for your company today. Join us tomorrow when KKR take on SRH!

Dhoni and Jadeja are in the middle, but the game looks far away from CSK.

SLIPPING FURTHER: Du Plessis was dropped off the previous delivery by Hetmyer once again, but on the next ball, du Plessis went after a wide delivery and managed to only get an outside edge that was taken by the 'keeper.

GETS TOUGHER!75 from 24 now. And Jadhav was trapped plumb in front by Nortje in that 16th over and Dhoni is out in the middle. You must say that this definitely looks out of reach.




are about 10-15 short of what was possible. Makes it a better contest and with these huge boundaries, might even be enough.

attack Shaw with Chawla next over? vDC

TOSS: MSD wins toss and CSK will bowl first. Hazlewood replaces Ngidi for CSK, while Avesh Khan and Amit Mishra come in for Mohit Sharma and R Ashwin respectively. DC are giving Ashwin some time to fully recover so they can have him for the rest of the series.

We're minutes away from the toss.. who are you backing? Write in @kritzika.

Pitch report: A terrific pitch, according to KP and Michael Slater! A belter of a wicket, that has gains for the fast bowlers. Captains who win toss, though, will bowl first factoring in the dew, although the slowness of the wicket in the second wicket is quite obvious. That aside, teams batting first are ending up victorious. What will the skippers do today?

Plucking out a win from the jaws of victory, Delhi Capitals got off to a winning start this season. It was a game only DC could manage to end on the losing side, having been in a strong position for most parts. Kagiso Rabada then showed his class in the super over to take them over the line.

Chennai, on the other hand, got off to a winning start before failing to adapt to the conditions in Sharjah better than the Rajasthan Royals. When the two teams clash tonight, it'll be a test of how they exploit CSK's spin issue, given that DC have three left-handers in their top 5, and CSK don't have a spinner to turn the ball away from them, with Harbhajan opting out.
