The last time they met

These two teams squared off against each other at the MCA Stadium, Pune in the 30th match of the IPL played on 30th April. Chennai Super Kings batted first on the dry pitch. Shane Watson’s brilliant 78(40) and MS Dhoni’s 51 from 22 balls took them to 211/4.

The chase was always going to tough. Delhi’s hopes were high once Rishabh Pant got going. He fell for 79(45). Vijay Shankar later ignited hopes with his six hitting but DD eventually fell short by 13 runs.
