12 balls to go.

Rayudu has been excellent this season in the middle order for CSK.

 

[Justcrazy]

Dhoni is finished as a player , just playing as a captain , but wasting a spot of young player

 

[Ab Fan]

Delhi did a good job by not taking MS wicket till the 19th over. Obviously, we must not forget that MS becomes a big power hitter we know of him in the final over so they got his wicket at a perfect time.

 

[Justcrazy]

137 is the target for DC here

 

[Justcrazy]

Chahar starts the proceedings for CSK

Four

to end the first over

Smith got dropped for some Rikap someone!!!

 

[Ab Fan]

Smith got dropped for some Rikap someone!!!

He is a lower order hitter and a bit of seam bowler, so suits to that position more than SPD Smith who has got enough chances before getting dropped.

Capitals need 44 runs in 43 balls.

Capitals need 33 runs in 24 balls.

Match getting interesting here as wickets keep falling

 

[Last Monetarist]

It's a concern for the World T20 that the pitches at Dubai seem to be deteriorating after each day that passes in the IPL. At this rate, Bangladesh would be favourites to win the trophy.

 

[Justcrazy]

Things getting very tough for Delhi as Dhoni is squezing

 

[Ab Fan]

Extremely unfair to expect Hetmyer to smash the bowling in these final overs when the pressure is high and he hasn't got his eyes in yet.

 

[Justcrazy]

Hetmeyer looking good now here

 

[Justcrazy]

Capitals need 16 runs in 12 balls.

Capitals would want at least 10 runs of this over

 

[Justcrazy]

Hazelwood on here now .

SIXXXXX

That blow by Hetmyer makes the change

 

[Ab Fan]

Sensational batting from Hetmyer to seal off the game for DC. He is my Man of Match.

 

[Saj]

Excellent innings by Hetmyer when it really mattered for DC.

 

[MenInG]

CSK 136/5 (20)

DC 139/7 (19.4)

Delhi Capitals won by 3 wkts
