Delhi Capitals have mowed down 189 with seven wickets and eight balls to spare. Shaw and Dhawan rattled off 65 in the powerplay and they never really let up. Both proceeded to half-centuries in a 138-run opening stand-off a mere 13.3 overs. Though both batsmen fell in a space of three overs and the Capitals slowed down briefly, Pant finished it off with a pair of boundaries. This meant Raina’s half-century in the first half was thrust into the shade. Perhaps, CSK should have gone harder at the top on a flat Wankhede pitch.
Delhi Capitals vs Chennai Super KingsHighlights today Saturday, 10-04-2021 – 2nd Match (N), Indian Premier League season 14th from Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
DC team’s captain won the toss and chose to bowl first.
Pant: The wicket is slightly softer underneath. I’m going to be a mix of experience and youth. Good to have the first outing with Mahi Bhai. Stoinis, Hetmyer, Woakes, and Tom Curran are our overseas players. We are not playing in Delhi, so we are fine.
Dhoni: We were also looking to bowl. It’s cloudy, we may not get as much dew. It feels good to be back and we had a good time in terms of preparation. We’ll also use some players who are in quarantine later. Faf, Moeen, Sam, and Bravo are our overseas players.
