Preview: Second-placed Chennai Super Kings will hope to regain the No.1 spot when they face table-toppers Delhi Capitals in an IPL 2019 clash at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Wednesday (May 1). Both teams are on 16 points after 12 games and have sealed a playoff spot but an interesting contest is on the cards as a win for either side will help a great deal in consolidating their position on the points table. Chennai's crushing 46-run loss against Mumbai Indians last time around meant their net run rate took a solid hit. They will be keen on getting back to winning ways and book a top-two place in a bid to get home comfort in Qualifier 1. Meanwhile Delhi, riding high after three successive victories will want to continue their victory march. MS Dhoni, troubled by back spasms and fever, was sorely missed by Chennai in their last game and it remains to be seen whether the captain has recovered or not. The hosts will be expecting all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who also missed the Mumbai fixture due to illness, to be back in the mix too. The much talked-about Chepauk pitch will once again come under the scanner. The surface has played very slow all through with run-scoring often proving to be tough. It will be interesting to see how the likes of Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant adapt against spin-heavy Chennai led by Harbhajan Singh and Imran Tahir. This is Chennai's last home game this season and the Men in Yellow will be desperately hoping to give their loyal fans a winning send-off. From Delhi's point of view, they have ticked most boxes so far making their way to the playoffs for the first time since 2012. Iyer has led admirably in his first stint as full-time captain of an IPL side both on the field and with the bat. He would hope his top order fires yet again on a sluggish surface where batsmen have found the going tough. It will be fascinating to see how the league's top wicket-taker Kagiso Rabada performs on CSK's home turf, traditionally known to offer help to slower bowlers. Like they did in the previous game against Bangalore, Delhi might once again opt for three spinners in Axar Patel, Sandeep Lamichhane and Amit Mishra. Chennai's batting unit sans Dhoni hasn't performed to expectations and the Delhi bowlers will want to make early inroads into the top-order and restrict them. PREVIOUS ENCOUNTER Dwayne Bravo's three-wicket haul followed by Shane Watson's 26-ball 44 helped Chennai coast to an easy six-wicket win the last time these two sides met in Delhi. PLAYERS TO WATCH OUT FOR Imran Tahir: The second-highest wicket taker, Tahir has been a consistent performer for Chennai this season. He has so far scalped 17 wickets at a miserly economy of 6.50 and he will want to finish the home season with a win. Sandeep Lamichhane: The leg-spinner has so far played just six games this season but has been impressive. On a surface where the ball is expected to grip and turn, Lamichhane can prove to be a handful and the Chennai batsman will have to be wary of him. TEAM NEWS/AVAILABILITY Chennai: It remains unclear whether Dhoni and Jadeja have recovered. If they do, Dhruv Shorey and Mitchell Santner could make way. Delhi: The visitors will not be too keen to tinker with a winning combination. Teams (from): Chennai Super Kings: Shane Watson, Murali Vijay, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, Dhruv Shorey/MS Dhoni (c/wk), Kedar Jadhav, Dwayne Bravo, Mitchell Santner/Ravindra Jadeja, Deepak Chahar, Harbhajan Singh, Imran Tahir Delhi Capitals: Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer(c), Rishabh Pant(w), Sherfane Rutherford, Colin Ingram, Axar Patel, Kagiso Rabada, Sandeep Lamichhane, Amit Mishra, Ishant Sharma<doc-sep>Match ends Imran Tahir claims the last wicket of the night and also his fourth as CSK win by 80 runs. The DC batting line-up completely imploded and they were dismissed for 99 in 16.2 overs. Imran Tahir (4/12) and Ravindra Jadeja (3/9) were the stars for CSK. Suchith falls Chennai have picked their second wicket of the night after a mix-up between Mishra and Suchith cost the latter his wicket. Shane Watson effected a direct hit from the point region to get rid of the tail-ender. Delhi are nine down now. Delaying the inevitable Amit Mishra and Jagadeesha Suchith are somehow keeping themselves alive in the middle. Three runs came from that over from Tahir as DC are keeping the match going. CSK edge closer Dwayne Bravo bowls a good over and gives away just three runs as CSK are edging closer to an emphatic win. Tail-enders Amit Mishra and Jagadeesha Suchith are putting on a brave face for Delhi. Stat attack Delhi’s collapse: DC have lost 6 wickets in the space of 34 balls scoring just 22 runs. DC were 62/2 in the 7th over. They are now 85/8 after 12 overs. Two stumpings for Dhoni in one over MS Dhoni has gotten rid of both Chris Morris and Shreyas Iyer in over as he effects quick stumpings to send both back into the hut. Morris was the first to depart and one ball later Iyer got a taste of the same medicine. Delhi are eight down now and staring down the barrel. Two in one over for Tahir After scalping the wicket of Axar Patel, Imran Tahir removes Sherfane Rutherford too in the 11th over of the innings. The southpaw hits the ball into the hands of Deepak Chahar at point. Delhi are six down now. Axar departs Imran Tahir has picked his second wicket of the night as he gets rid of Axar Patel for 9. The southpaw edges the ball into the hands of Shane Watson who fielding at first slip. Delhi have lost half their side now. Innings comparison CSK after 9 overs were 50/1 while DC are 75/4. The reason why DC are on the back foot is because they lost wickets in a heap. Shreyas Iyer is batting in his 40s and is holding the innings from one end. He need someone to stay with him. Axar on the front foot Southpaw Axar Patel makes his intentions clear early in the innings and hits a boundary off Dwayne Bravo, who concedes 8 runs in the over. Delhi need more of such hits as they are on the back foot at the moment. Ingram heads back into hut Ravindra Jadeja joins in the party now as he gets rid of Colin Ingram for 1. The southpaw misses the line of a delivery and it crashes into his pads. The batsmen went for DRS are the umpire gave it out. Replays showed that the ball was hitting the top of the stumps and the umpire’s call was retained. Delhi are four down now. Pant throw his wicket Rishabh Pant (5) throws his wicket again as he hits an Imran Tahir delivery straight into the hands of Dwayne Bravo at long off. The southpaw had hit a boundary the previous delivery in the same region but manages to find fielder on this occasion. Delhi are three down now and in a spot of bother. Dhawan falls In trying to sweep Harbhajan, Dhawan (19) gets himself castled comprehensively after missing the line of the delivery. Harbjajan strikes at the right time as Dhawan and Iyer were scoring runs at a brisk pace. Delhi are two down now. Iyer on fire Shreyas Iyer now takes the attack to Deepak Chahar and hits him for a huge six over long-off. Then, he hits a boundary towards third man to make it 15 off the over. DC are going at a rate of knots at the moment with these two in fine touch. Six and four Shikhar Dhawan joins his hitting prowess as he hits a huge six off Harbhajan Singh in the fourth over. The ball flies over long-on ropes. Then, he hits the ball past the cover fielder for a boundary as Bhajji concedes 13 runs in the over. Iyer on the attack Since coming on the field after Shaw’s dismissal, skipper Shreyas Iyer has looked good and he has already slammed couple of boundaries. Chahar goes for 9 runs in the over as DC are looking to get over Shaw’s dismissal early. Tidy over from Bhajji Harbhajan Singh bowls a tidy over as he gives away just 4 runs in the second over. CSK have made a flying start as they have got an early breakthrough and they are putting pressure on the batsmen by not giving them free runs. Shaw departs early Prithvi Shaw departs after scoring a boundary in the first over of the innings. He cuts the ball into the hands of Suresh Raina at point. Delhi lose their first wicket as Chahar strikes early. Shaw departs for 4. Suresh Raina has also completed his 100th IPL catch, the first cricketer to do so. Match resumes Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan are out in the middle and they will begin the DC chase. Deepak Chahar has the new ball in his hands and he will bowl the first over of the innings for CSK. Dhoni finishes off in style MS Dhoni once again shows his hitting prowess and takes CSK to 179/4 in 20 overs. After Morris went for 18 in the 19th over, Boult goes for 21 off the last. He started with a boundary off the third ball and then hit couple of sixes off the last two deliveries. Dhoni ends at at 44 off 22 deliveries and it included 4 boundaries and three sixes. No ball and six After picking up the wicket of Jadeja, Morris simply loses it as he bowls beamer and Dhoni pulls it for a six. The umpire says no ball and Morris apologises to Dhoni as well.<doc-sep>IPL 2019 Live Cricket Score - Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals, Match 50, IPL 2019 by Cricbuzz Staff • Last updated on Live Score Updates Delhi Capitals 99-10 (16.2 Ovs) Trent Boult 1 (1) Chennai Super Kings 179-4 Imran Tahir 3.2-0-12-4 Chennai Super Kings won by 80 runs Live Scores Full Scorecard That's it from us folks! Hope you enjoyed CSK's clinical win. Until next time then ... Post-match thoughts MS Dhoni, Man of the Match: They will stop eventually because they want to listen what I say. I watch the ball and hit the ball. It's easier for somebody who has played 10 or 15 overs than somebody who has just come in bat. I felt it would've been difficult for Rayudu to hit. We knew there won't be much dew on the field. Once we started our innings of bowling, Bhajji didn't get much turn. I felt it was a good wicket, 170-180 was a par-plus score. It's great fun to watch him celebrate. The good thing is he finishes the lap quickly and comes back to bowl. It's something that has come from tennis ball cricket. If you want to keep like that, you may commit a lot of mistakes. It's important to stick to the basics. I have always said it's very special to get that kind of a nickname. The way I got accepted and the whole of Tamil Nadu don't call my name, they call me 'Thala'. It's very nice and they have always supported us. Shreyas Iyer | Delhi captain: It is really going to effect us specially the run rate. The way we chased, it wasn't expected from the batsmen but it is a good reality check for us. Good that it happened at this stage and everybody would be on their toes in the next game. We won't blame the abilities of our team but definitely we didn't play smart cricket. It was an amazing start by the bowlers in the powerplay and should have curtailed them to under 170. Even with the way we started with the bat as well, we have had great starts which we couldn't convert into big ones. There are small things we have to look into and come back strong in the next game. I wouldn't blame myself nor the team. The way he stumped me, it was lightning speed, I couldn't control and with the way the ball spun, it was difficult to get back. I was really looking good and thought I would be taking on the next few overs. It was an unfortunate wicket of mine. I never thought about that before (stumped for the first time in IPL). We know what ability he has, especially in the death over. For sure we were missing him in this game. He had a stiff back and it is good that he took rest. We are keeping that hope in our mind and definitely want to be in the top two. That will put us in a good situation. Looking forward to finish in the second position. RR game, at home, wouldn't want to disappoint the fans. Ravindra Jadeja: I was enjoying my bowling. There was a lot of turn on the surface. I was just trying to bowl in good areas, and the wicket was doing the rest for me. Tahir has been fantastic throughout the season. He has taken wickets for us whenever we needed. Me, Immi bhai (Tahir) and Bhajju have done well, and as a bowling unit, we need to put a lot of effort into our bowling and our the skills. We applied ourselves quite well. In one word, MS Dhoni is a genius. We still have one more game, and we need to continue the momentum. Everyone is in good form, and we need to take it one game at a time. ALL OVER - CSK WIN BY 80 runs Tahir gets fourth, Dhoni gets his third dismissal of the game and it's all over. CSK are on top of the table again. Four of the five lowest totals in IPL 2019 have come in Chennai. Dhoni walks off with a big smile on his face. He had admitted he wasn't 100 per cent and yet was taking the field. First his assault and then his keeping - plenty of things to cheer for for the home fans. Jadeja was outstanding too. His 10-ball 25 turned the tide in CSK's favour. And when the track offered turn, he gave DC no chance. Tahir ran through the side and Jadeja buried them into the ground. MS DHONI! Wow! Iyer goes now and DC are in shambles. Talk about timing the stumping. Just when Iyer lifted his foot, Dhoni took off the bails. Couldn't have timed it better. No one could have pulled it off better. DC 85 for 8 Jadeja strikes Full and spins past the outside edge. Morris had his foot in the air and Dhoni did the rest. DC 84 for 7 Three for Tahir Rutherford doesn't last long either. Full and wide again, the left-hander chased that one again and the edge flew to point. DC 81 for 6 CSK on top Full and wide from Tahir. Axar chases that one. Outside edge and caught at first slip. Iyer frustrated and stuck at the other end. DC 81 for 5 100 needed in the last 10 overs ... Four down Ingram goes now. Full and fast from Jadeja, spun in and Ingram failed to connect on the flick. That one turned plenty and DC went for a review. Replays showed it was clipping the leg stump. DC 66 for 4 Poor, poor, poor Terrible from Rishabh Pant. Full and wide, smashed straight to long-off. He had gotten a boundary just the last delivery. Tahir sticks to his plan and Pant doesn't execute his shot well. Straight to Bravo. DC 63 for 3 Big wicket Harbhajan is pumped. Dhawan goes for a slog sweep and doesn't connect. The balls smashes into the stumps. Second wicket inside the powerplay for CSK. DC 53 for 2 Shaw gone<doc-sep>Follow all the live cricket action and IPL 2019 game between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Sunrisers Hyderabad: Keemo Paul ends it in style as he pulls the slower ball for a boundary.

PREVIEW: Delhi Capitals, who have had a dream run so far in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Eliminator at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, here on Wednesday. In their last encounter, Delhi had secured a comfortable five-wicket win against Rajasthan Royals whereas Hyderabad had to face a four-wicket defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore. It was only after Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) defeat against Mumbai Indians in their final group stage game that the Orange Army could make it to the playoffs. Delhi have been one of the top sides in this IPL edition. Despite finishing with 18 points from their 14 matches, they could not secure a place in the top two because of their lesser net run-rate in comparison to table-toppers Mumbai and second-placed Chennai Super Kings. The Shreyas Iyer-led Delhi have a strong batting line-up with Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw and Rishabh Pant all amongst the runs. Their bowling also looks settled with Ishant Sharma, Amit Mishra leading the attack in the absence of Kagiso Rabada. Hyderabad, on the other hand, boasts a strong bowling attack with Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Khaleel Ahmed and the spin duo from Afghanistan, Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi in their playing XI. However, it is their batting which is their weak link since the departure of David Warner and Jonny Bairstow. The winner of the match will play Chennai at same venue in Qualifier 2 on Friday. Squads Delhi Capitals: Shreyas Iyer (c), Rishabh Pant (wk), Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Colin Ingram, Sherfane Rutherford, Axar Patel, Keemo Paul, Amit Mishra, Ishant Sharma, Trent Boult, Hanuma Vihari, Colin Munro, Ankush Bains, Jagadeesha Suchith, Manjot Kalra, Chris Morris, Jalaj Saxena, Rahul Tewatia, Sandeep Lamichhane, Avesh Khan, Nathu Singh, Bandaru Ayyappa Sunrisers Hyderabad: Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Kane Williamson (c), Martin Guptill, Manish Pandey, Vijay Shankar, Yusuf Pathan, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, K Khaleel Ahmed, Basil Thampi, Siddarth Kaul, Deepak Hooda, Billy Stanlake, Ricky Bhui, Shreevats Goswami, Shahbaz Nadeem, Abhishek Sharma, Sandeep Sharma, T.

Good evening. Welcome to Sportstar's live coverage of today's Indian Premier League match between Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals being played at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. I am Hari Kishore M and I will take you through the three plus hours of action. SCORES × What a game tonight. CSK started extremely slow, 7 runs in the first 4 overs and then there was a Faf du Plessis and Suresh Raina show. In came Mahendra Singh Dhoni at No. 4 and from then he just couldn't be out of the game. He reasserted his place as one of the best finishers, umpteenth time he has now, and the effected excellent stumpings and then ringed in the bowling changes on cue as CSK called the shots. That's it for the night, untill Mumbai Indians meet Sunrisers Hyderabad, it is good night from the newsroom. DC 99 all out in 16.2 overs: That is it. Imran Tahir sends the final nail in Delhi's coffin. Tahir spins it away from Amit Mishra, the ball takes a feather touch edge and Dhoni takes an east catch. The fortress cannot be breached. A facile win for CSK by 80 runs as Dhoni and spinners shine. Chasing 180, DC could only manage just 99. This win is a big boost for Chennai's net run-rate. DC 92/9 in 15.1 overs: A run-out. The last thing Delhi Capitals wanted. J. Suchith attempts a single and cannot beat Shane Watson's throw. The batsman did slip midway but a run-out was the only missing dismissal for DC and it is now there. DC 92/8 in 15 overs: It is now just a matter of time. All eyes of CSK will be on the margin of victory that will help in its net run rate. DC 85/8 in 12 overs: You cannot take MSD out of this game. He is not even 100% fit, he admitted he is still a 'little weak' but he executes two stumpings in a flash. Even before anyone could realise. This time it is Shreyas Iyer. A flat delivery from Jadeja, the ball helps itself to some turn, Iyer misses but Dhoni doesn't. Iyer's backfoot just slightly goes in the air and that is enough for MSD to rattle the timber. Delhi is crumbling in Chennai. DC 84/7 in 11.4 overs: MSD at his best! Chris Morris doesn't even realise what had happened and Dhoni has flipped the bails off, in a flash. Most of you who had blinked would have lost it. This was quicker, past Morris' bat and before anyone could realise, the LED was blinking. Dhoni asks the umpire, they all go up and the big screen gives us the verdict. Delhi crumbling. DC 83/6 in 11 overs: Imran Tahir strikes again. Sherfane Rutherford departs for 2 and DC in deep trouble. Another googly and another Delhi batsman fails to read it. Rutherford could only slice it to backward point where Deepak Chahar doesn't make any mistake. DC 81/5 in 10.2 overs: There the Imran Rahir sprint again. This time it is Axar Patel. He is dismissed for 9. DC in tatters. Tahir sends a googly, Axar misreads it and the ball takes the edge to Shane Watson at slip. DC 75/4 in 9 overs: 105 needed from 66 balls and DC has a mountain to climb. Shreyas Iyer has got a start and DC would need its captain to stick around till the end while Axar Patel has just started his innings. DC 66/4 in 7.4 overs: And another one bites the dust! Colin Ingram has been well trapped in Jadeja's net. The umpire raised his finger but Ingram went for the review. The Hawkeye traces the ball back to the top of the leg. Umpire's call it is! DC 63/3 in 6.2 overs: Imran Tahir takes care of Rishabh Pant, who was well lured in to take the bait. Pant slams the slightly tossed delivery to long-off where Dwayne Bravo didn't have to do much. DC 52/2 in 5.3 overs: Harbhajan Singh roars as Chepauk is up on its feet! Dhawan, who was looking quite menacing has to take the long walk back to the pavilion now. The Delhi batsman gets beaten by the drift completely as he tries to go for a sweep. DC 34/1 in 4 overs: Shikhar Dhawan moves on to 16 off 10 balls as he dances down the wicket to take on Harbhajan's off-spinners.
