IPL 2023 Orange Cap and Purple Cap standings after Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals match (Updated)
The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) defeated the Delhi Capitals (DC) by 27 runs in the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Wednesday, May 10.
CSK skipper MS Dhoni won the toss and chose to bat first on a dry surface. Devon Conway escaped a couple of close calls in the powerplay against spin, but his luck ran out as he became the first wicket to fall. Ruturaj Gaikwad departed after losing his wicket in the first ball after the powerplay.
CSK's lower middle order chipped in with some valuable cameos, while a final flourish from MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja meant that the hosts ended with 167/8 in 20 overs.
In response, DC skipper David Warner perished for a duck off the bowling of Deepak Chahar in the first over itself. Things went from bad to worse for the visitors as they were reduced to 25/3 in the third over.
Manish Pandeya and Riley Rossouw tried to steady the run chase with a patient partnership, but the ever-increasing required run rate got to them eventually. Wickets fell in a heap as DC tried to inch closer to the target, but they could only muster 140/8 in 20 overs to mark their seventh consecutive defeat against CSK at Chepauk.
