Chennai Super Kings beat Delhi Daredevils
IPL 2018, CSK vs DD Highlights
IPL SCORE 2018, CSK vs DD in Pune, LIVE INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE (IPL) 2018 MATCH 30, CHENNAI SUPER KINGS vs DELHI DAREDEVILS: Chennai Super Kings are back to winning ways with a dominating performance at home in match 30 of Indian Premier League 2018 at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune. After losing to Mumbai at this same place in their previous encounter, this was the perfect response they could have given. First, the batsmen did the job with the bat. Watson fired, then Rayudu and Dhoni joined in and took the Yellow Army past the 200-mark. And then, the fine job was continued with the ball. Early wickets were taken and the pressure was put on.Rishabh Pant was the only player to put up any kind of a fight for the visitors Delhi Daredevils. He scored a handsome 79, even threatened to get his side across the line, but it was too much of an ask from just one man. His partnership of 88 with Vijay Shankar was superb but fell short nevertheless. Shankar did score some lusty blows towards the end to keep things interesting, but it was too little too late. Another loss to Delhi's name this season.(CRICKET STREAMING - CSK vs DD) (SCORECARD) (IPL Full Coverage)

22.37 IST: FOUR! Just as I write that Maxwell scores a boundary! He maybe reading what I am writing. He makes room and gets a ball which is slightly on the shorter length. He rocks back and cuts it through covers for a boundary. CSK 74/3 in 8.4 overs
22.35 IST: Some air on this one, close to off, Pant plays at it and gets an inside edge past Dhoni. Was awfully close to the stumps, but a couple result. Tidy over from Bhajji! CSK Live Score 68/3 in 8 overs
22.32 IST: Harbhajan Singh comes on to bowl. And Glenn Maxwell is the next man in for Daredevils.
22.31 IST: OUT! Huge misunderstanding and that brings about a run-out. This is surely not what Delhi wanted at this stage. Slower through the air on off, Iyer taps it towards covers. He wants a run and sets off for it. He hesitates for a second but eventually goes for it. Pant though first obliges but then due to the hesitation pulls out. Iyer was at a point where there was no return. Watson picks the ball up and throws it to the keeper who collects it and takes the bails off. The in-form Iyer is walking back and the chase now looks very difficult. Delhi Daredevils 64/3 in 7 overs vs Chennai Super Kings (211/4) in Pune
22.25 IST: FOUR! Pant has come out all guns blazing here. Short and outside off, Pant cuts it through backward point for a boundary. Making full use of the last over of the Powerplay.
22.24 IST: SIX! What a way to get off the mark! This is fuller on middle by Watson. Pant plants his front foot forward and lifts it over the mid-wicket fence.
22.23 IST: Rishabh Pant is the new man in.
22.22 IST: OUT! KM Asif removes Munro for 26. In the air... taken! Once again Asif has the last laugh. He has gone for two boundaries and a biggie on the last three balls but strikes back with his second wicket. It is the shorter ball this time and it is on the body. Munro goes for the pull but only manages to get a top edge. It goes high up in the air towards deep square leg where Karn Sharma takes a good catch. The dangerous Munro departs and Delhi in trouble here. They need 166 from 90. Delhi Daredevils 46/2 in 5 overs vs Chennai Super Kings (211/4) in Pune.
22.20 IST: SIX! So two boundaries and a biggie to follow now. This is short and on middle. Munro upper cuts it over the slip cordon and it seems to have carried all the way. They go upstairs to check and it has hit the ropes on the full.
22.19 IST: FOUR! Down the ground this time! Full this time. The bowler overcompensates. Munro slams it back past the bowler. Back-to-back boundaries.
22.18 IST: FOUR! Munro is now getting into his groove here! This is a slower ball and on the shorter side outside off. Munro cuts it over point and the ball races away.
22.17 IST: FOUR! Over mid on! So a good way to end the over, 14 from it. Munro shuffles across and lofts it over Harbhajan Singh and the races away.
22.15 IST: SIX! Trademark Munro! This is fuller and on off. Colin lunges and picks it over the square leg fence for a maximum. So Delhi are now starting to get a move on. DD 27/1 in 3.4 overs.
22.10 IST: FOUR! Poor ball and put away! Iyer backs away and gets a short ball outside off. He cuts it through point and the ball races away.
22.07 IST: Shreyas Iyer is the next man in.
22.06 IST: OUT! KM Asif removes Prithvi Shaw for 9. Asif has the last laugh! A shot too many by Shaw! This one is short again on off, Shaw tries to play the pull shot but the ball hurries onto him. It takes the top edge and lobs towards Jadeja who takes a couple of steps back and pouches it. An early wicket for Chennai and this is something Delhi did not need. The free-flowing Shaw makes his way back cheaply this time. Delhi Daredevils 10/1 in 1.4 overs vs Chennai Super Kings (211/4) in Pune.
22.04 IST: FOUR! This is even better than the last shot! Fuller on middle, Shaw hits it through mid on and there is no stopping that. Second boundary from the over.
22.02 IST: FOUR! Hits it at the safest place on the field! Over the bowler's head. Short and on off, Shaw hits it down the ground and the ball races away to the fence. First boundary in this innings.
22.01 IST: Lungi Ngidi to Colin Munro, no run. Another swing and another miss! Just a run from Ngidi's first over. This is just ahead of a length outside off. Munro slashes at it but misses. Delhi are 1/0 after the first over.
21.56 IST: We are back for the chase! Delhi have a huge task ahead of them. 212 is what they need. Colin Munro and Prithvi Shaw make their way out to the middle. They will try and get their team off to a flier. The latter will be on strike and he will be facing Lungi Ngidi.
21.45 IST:
21.42 IST: FIFTY! A couple to end the last over! 13 from it. This is full and outside off, Dhoni hits it towards extra cover and runs two. He brings up his fifty with that, his 20th in this format and it has come up of just 22 balls and his knock has ensured Chennai Super Kings score 211/4 in 20 overs against Delhi Daredevils in Pune. Watson 78, Dhoni 51*
21.41 IST: OUT! Rayudu has been run-out! A good change in length by Boult he bowls it short and on the body. Dhoni goes for the pull but the ball brushes his gloves and goes towards the keeper who dives to his left but drops it. Rayudu wants a run and almost completes it but Dhoni says go back as he wants to keep strike for the last ball. Rayudu turns and runs towards the non-striker's end. Pant in the meantime throws the ball to Boult who does not miss as he hits bull's eye at his end. End of another useful knock by him but once again he has been run out. CSK Live Score 209/4 in 19.5 overs
21.40 IST: FOUR! He moves onto 49 with a powerful stroke! This is just brute force. Do not put your hands in the way on that shot. Comes down the track and flat-bats it past the bowler and through mid off for a boundary. CSK 209/3 in 19.4 overs
21.39 IST: SIX! Dhoni has no mercy today. He comes on strike and dispatches this into the crowd. A low full toss on middle, Dhoni heaves it over the mid-wicket fence for another biggie. CSK 205/3 in 19.3 overs
21.35 IST: SIX! That's outta here! Poor bowling from Avesh and Dhoni encashes the full toss in style. No, he can't! He serves a juicy full toss on middle. Not a lot of batsman would miss out there and Dhoni certainly won't as he helps it on its way over the square leg fence. 11 from the over. This biggie was measured at 108 meters. That came right off the middle. CSK Live Score 198/3 in 19 overs

21.29 IST: SIX! Ambati Rayudu the man in form! What a shot! uses his feet, makes the length ball into a full ball. He hits it over the bowler's head for a biggie. A quickfire 50-run stand between the two comes up. CSK Live score 183/3 in 17.5 overs

21.23 IST: FOUR! 16 from the first three. He is playing with Boult here. He was ready for the short ball and he gets it. Dhoni pulls it over square leg and the ball races away. How big an over can this be? CSK 165/3 in 16.3 overs

21.08 IST: OUT! Watson is out of here! Once again it is the bowling change which does the trick. This is brave bowling by the leggie. He tosses this one up outside off. It is the googly.

Chennai Super Kings 130/3 in 13.5 overs vs Delhi Daredevils

21.01 IST: FOUR! A gift and Watson puts it away. A full toss outside off. Watson drives it square on the off side and the ball races away. So what was looking to be a good an over after the first two balls is turning out to be a very expensive one? CSK 118/2 in 12.5 overs

Brief Preview: Their stuttering campaign back on the rails under new skipper Shreyas Iyer, a resurgent Delhi Daredevils will play table-toppers Chennai Super Kings in a crucial Indian Premier League match on Monday in Pune. While Delhi would fight for survival, CSK would be equally keen to get back to winning ways after losing by eight wickets to Mumbai Indians in their adopted home ground in Pune on Saturday. The Daredevils, who were struggling with Gautam Gambhir at the helm, found the elusive winning formula in their previous game when they comprehensively defeated formidable Kolkata Knight Riders at home.
Ricky Ponting-coached Delhi, now at the bottom of the table with just two wins out of seven games, however, need to continue their winning spree to keep themselves in the hunt for the playoffs. CSK, on the other hand, are still on top on the points table but their confidence suffered a blow last night against another struggling outfit in defending champions Mumbai Indians. It would still be an uphill ask for the Daredevils to beat CSK at their adopted home - the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium but they cannot afford to lose.(Read Full Match Preview)
