Chennai Super Kings (CSK) stretched their points tally to 17 in the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) with a convincing win over the Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday, May 20,
CSK won the toss and elected to bat first on a dry surface in Delhi. CSK's opening pair of Ruturaj Gaiwkad and Devon Conway continued their fine run of form with a dominating partnership.
It took DC 14.3 overs to get their first wicket, but by that time, the visitors had amassed 141 runs on the board. Cameos from Ravindra Jadeja and Shivam Dube towards the end of the innings propelled CSK to a mammoth score of 223-3 in the first innings.
DC lost three wickets in the powerplay, with Deepak Chahar striking twice in an over to reduce the hosts to 26-3 at one stage. David Warner led DC's fightback with a solid fifty as wickets tumbled at the other end.
Despite Warner's efforts, DC were nowhere close to the target and ultimately ended up with 146-9 to hand CSK a 77-run victory to boost their net run rate even further.
