Dehli [175/3] beat Chennai [131/7] by 44 runs in Match 7 of IPL 2020

[MenInG]

When: Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals, September 25, 2020, 19:30 IST, 6pm Local

Where: Dubai International Cricket Stadium

What to expect: The first impression of the pitch there - from the DC-KXIP fixture - is that batsmen who can take time and settle in are likelier to succeed off than those looking to biff from the outset. For CSK, this should come as music to their ears.

Squads:

Delhi Capitals Squad: Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shimron Hetmyer, Shreyas Iyer(c), Rishabh Pant(w), Marcus Stoinis, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Mohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Amit Mishra, Harshal Patel, Alex Carey, Avesh Khan, Sandeep Lamichhane, Keemo Paul, Tushar Deshpande, Daniel Sams, Lalit Yadav

Chennai Super Kings Squad: Murali Vijay, Shane Watson, Faf du Plessis, Sam Curran, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Kedar Jadhav, MS Dhoni(w/c), Ravindra Jadeja, Deepak Chahar, Piyush Chawla, Lungi Ngidi, Karn Sharma, Josh Hazlewood, Imran Tahir, Shardul Thakur, Monu Kumar, Mitchell Santner, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, N Jagadeesan, KM Asif

Is those black strip for SPB?

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol Prithwi Shah nicked in last over, no body appealed..

 

[Ab Fan]

I find Prithvi Shaw very overrated. He is expected to be next Tendulkar or Kohli, dont think he will even be as good as Sehwag.

He is overrated. But he is still very good. He will play for India for a long time.

88 for no loss in 10 overs

Dhawan gone , Chawla strikes here .

 

[Justcrazy]

100 up for Delhi

 

[Justcrazy]

Delhi need to increase the run rate here

 

[Justcrazy]

Hetmeyer batting down the order , Delhi needs to push him up the order.

 

[jiduguravindra]

Poor batting from these two

 

[shamaan]

Are these two meant to be the next big thing in t20s for india ?

 

[Justcrazy]

166.3

All formats.

 

[Justcrazy]

176 is the target here for Chennai

 

[MenInG]

Dc 175/3 (20) crr: 8.75

 

[Justcrazy]

Watson and Vijay on here , the chase begins.

 

[Smbhayi]

What's the thing btw Vijay and CSK? why they're keep persisting with him?

 

[Justcrazy]

22 for no loss after 4 overs , steady start by Chennai here

 

[Justcrazy]

Out

Watto persihes.

 

[Justcrazy]

Chennai bat very deep as usual , Delhi would look for wickets at regular intervals.

 

[Justcrazy]

Vijay gone , second wicket down

 

[jiduguravindra]

Vijay gone , second wicket down

Good for csk..Better drop him.. Playing test in powerplay

 

[MMHS]

I think, CSK will win today. DC made a blunder by sending Iyer instead of Hetmyer, followed by Stoinis - probably has cost them 10-12 runs at least.

 

[tyron_woodley]

lol seriously some of these athletes need to work out. What do they even do ? your job is to be strong and fit. Jeez.

 

[JattMaula]

Why does csk's batting gives me flashbacks of failed runchases of India in wc19? No intent. At least my blood isn't boiling now.

 

[Ab Fan]

This is joke. They need quick runs and they haven't sent Sam Curran or MS Dhoni in. Sending Jadhav lol.

 

[MMHS]

Did they ran Gaikawad intentionally - almost alone has taken the out of reach!!!!! Asking of 13 for 10 overs with 3 down is going to be tough, real tough.

 

[HappyWarsFan]

lol seriously some of these athletes need to work out. What do they even do ? your job is to be strong and fit. Jeez.

Eh, it's not a must. Fitness is important but cricket is a sport where it's not really extremely helpful. Look at motu Rohit Sharma.

Eh, it's not a must. Fitness is important but cricket is a sport where it's not really extremely helpful. Look at motu Rohit Sharma.

it's absolutely important especially for bowlers. fitness and power are the most important attributes for fast bowling.

a fitter rohit will always be better than a pudgy rohit btw.

 

[Justcrazy]

Super Kings need 95 runs in 38 balls. RRR: 15.0

 

[Justcrazy]

Dhoni hiding himself down the order again

 

[jiduguravindra]

Dhoni hiding himself down the order again

If wicket falls sam curran will come

 

[King Kong]

This is joke. They need quick runs and they haven't sent Sam Curran or MS Dhoni in. Sending Jadhav lol.

What? Dhoni and quick runs?

 

[Justcrazy]

Dhoni walks in when it is impossible to win !

 

[rollingstoned]

lol seriously some of these athletes need to work out. What do they even do ? your job is to be strong and fit. Jeez.

Lockdown is telling on a lot of players.

 

[MenInG]

Think apart from the hype of the first game - the rest have been lowkey.

In India its the love for the game that gets crowds roaring for their teams but without crowds, its all very flat.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Hetmayer looks like a teddy bear. Dude needs to stay away from doughnuts.

 

[JaDed]

CSK terrible..

 

[JattMaula]

CSK terrible..

Surviving on the past glory.

 

[JaDed]

Surviving on the past glory.

Thank God we have 4, we need new blood, also not sure why Curran is so low today I mean lol, CSK is doing match practice it seems.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

CSK terrible..

They have too many oldies who cannot play a high tempo game. Only Watson can score at a good rate. The rest are not good. Murli Vijay, Faf are just passengers. They are not hitters. Dhoni thinks he is playing ODI and nudges around too much.
