During the Qualifier 2 of the ongoing 12th season of the Indian Premier League between Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals at Visakhapatnam, Chennai Super Kings defeated Delhi Capitals by 6 wickets to enter yet another IPL final.
In what was a comprehensive 148-run chase, Chennai ended up winning the match in the penultimate over with middle-order batsman Ambati Rayudu (20*) and all-rounder Dwayne Bravo (0*) remaining unbeaten till the end.
CSK thrived on both their opening batsmen in Faf du Plessis and Shane Watson scoring individual half-centuries. An 81-run opening partnership had laid a perfect foundation for the others to bank upon. Despite the defending champions lost a few wickets towards the end, the start provided by their opening batsmen didn’t see them much trouble.
While Watson scored 50 (32) with the help of three fours and four sixes, du Plessis scored 50 (39) with the help of seven fours and a six. With bowling figures of 4-0-20-1, Trent Boult was the pick of the bowler for DC.
After Chennai captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss and chose to field, Delhi ended up scoring 147/9 in their allotted quota of 20 overs. Wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant, who came in to bat at No. 5 in the ninth over, top-scored for DC scoring 38 (25) with the help of four fours and a six.
With bowling figures of 4-0-19-2, CSK all-rounder Dwayne Bravo was the pick of the bowlers for the defending champions.

You have to hand it to #CSK. This team could so easily have been all wrong. Virtually every player had an issue, either form or age or a situation in their career. But they are like a movie. It doesn’t matter where they come from. In yellow, they are fine. #CSKAlwayFindAWay

CSK’s best performance this season: in all departments, for intensity and desire to win. The last fortnight had seen them stutter, sputter and lose quite a few matches. Just when it seemed players had run out of steam, to come up with this rousing performance is fantastic

Excellent and clinical from @ChennaiIPL tonight. That bowling group is awesome. Got to back experience most times in knockout matches. @DelhiCapitals are a team on the up. We will have a 4 time VivoIpl Champion in 2019. Can’t wait for Sunday.

inevitably, around this time of year, #CSK are in the IPL final and Nadal is in the French open final #CSKvDC

So basically @faf1307 tells his team-mates at @ChennaiIPL, you play the earlier matches. When the time comes I will be there to win the big ones.

Delhi Capitals will be disappointed, but in many ways, they’ve been the headline makers this season. Most exciting team on view even if a tad mercurial.
