CSK beat DD by 13 runs | Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Daredevils, Highlights And Cricket Score 30th T20 Match
Indian Premier League, 2018
Date: Apr 30, 2018 Start Time: 20:00 IST | 14:30 GMT | 20:00 LocalVenue: Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune
Their stuttering campaign back on the rails under new skipper Shreyas Iyer, a resurgent Delhi Daredevils will play Chennai Super Kings in a crucial Indian Premier League match on Monday. While Delhi would fight for survival, Chennai would be equally keen to get back to winning ways after losing by eight wickets to Mumbai Indians in their adopted home ground here on Saturday night.
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 play-offs.
On the other hand, CSK's confidence suffered a blow on Saturday 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.
Among other things, the Delhi outfit would hope that skipper Iyer continues to lead from the front as he did with a match-winning 93 not out against KKR. Besides Iyer, other batsmen like opener Prithvi Shaw, Rishabh Pant and allrounders Glenn Maxwell and Colin Munro too will have to play their part to perfection. Australian Maxwell has been getting starts but is unable to convert them into big scores.
It would be interesting to see whether Daredevils again leave out Gambhir, who is out of form and did not figure in the playing eleven against KKR.
Delhi's varied bowling stock too clicked in the last match and if the star-studded CSK batting line-up has to be checked, the visitors will have to bowl out of their skin.
On the other hand, returning to the IPL after serving a two-year suspension, CSK has been the team to look out for this season. Mahendra Singh Dhoni is back among runs with his traditional late flourish while in-form Ambati Rayadu, Shane Watson and Dwayne Bravo are also capable of making a mockery of the Delhi bowling attack.
The pleasing part for coach Stephen Fleming is that Suresh Raina has finally found his touch with an unbeaten 75 in a losing cause on Saturday. With Sam Billings and Ravindra Jadeja in the side, CSK have depth in their batting. But CSK bowlers were hammered by Mumbai Indians and will need to regroup and come strong on Monday.
Pacer Shardul Thakur needs to quickly get over from the mauling he received at the hands of Mumbai skipper Rohit Sharma alongside legspinner Imran Tahir.
To make matters worse for CSK, Deepak Chahar, who could not complete his third over in the game, has been ruled out for a few weeks after sustaining a hamstring injury. On the spin front, veteran Harbhajan Singh will be crucial to choke up runs in the middle overs

Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Daredevils Highlights And Cricket Score 30th Match - T20 Summary
So that is it from this game. Chennai are back to winning ways and Delhi now have made their chances of finishing in the top four even more difficult. Not that it was ever easy but they now have to win almost all their games. Tomorrow, on Tuesday the 1st of May, we have two teams which are themselves desperate for two points playing as Bangalore take on Mumbai at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium at 2000 local (1430 GMT). Till then, take care and goodbye!
Shane Watson has been awarded the Man of the Match for his blistering knock of 78 from 40 balls. It laid the foundation for Chennai to post a big total and eventually grab the win.
Rishabh Pant was the only player to put up any kind of a fight. 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.
Chennai are back to winning ways with a dominating performance at home. 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.
