CSK vs DC Man of the Match: Chennai Super Kings veteran cricketer was declared the Man of the Match for his all-round performance.

During the 50th match of the ongoing 12th season of the Indian Premier League between Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals at Chennai, Chennai Super Kings defeated Delhi Capitals 80 runs to register their ninth IPL 2019 victory.

With 18 points in 13 matches, Super Kings have once again reached the top of the points table and have enhanced their chances of finishing in top two in the points table.

Chasing a 180-run target, Delhi Capitals went thought a batting collapse despite batting exceptionally well in the powerplay. From scoring 59/2 in the powerplay to getting bundled out for 99 in the 17th over, Delhi completely lost track of the chase.

DC captain Shreyas Iyer, who came in to bat at No. 3, top-scored for his team scoring 44 (31) with the help of four fours and a six. With bowling figures of 3.2-0-12-4, veteran Super Kings leg-spinner Imran Tahir was the pick of their bowlers.
