http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 Daredevils 114/5 (20/20 ov) v Chennai Super Kings 115/1 (15.2/20 ov) - Chennai Super Kings won by 9 wickets (with 28 balls remaining)
On Saturday, Delhi Daredevils finally met their match as they lost to Chennai Super Kings by nine wickets, failing to defend a total of 114 runs, at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, Chennai.
Player of the Match, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BW-Hilfenhaus-c1204, was the star of the show as he decapitated Delhi’s batting line-up by making early inroads, finishing with three wickets to his name at the end of the game.
The bowler nabbed his first wicket on the penultimate delivery of the match by dismissing Delhi’s skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739, who took to the showers after scoring only four runs.
Delhi was expecting a fiery innings from hard-hitting batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DA-Warner-c1301, but this was not the Aussie’s day as he became the second wicket to fall from his side after smashing only eight runs. At the time of his wicket, his side had amassed only 12 runs on the board.
Chennai hit jackpot when they dismissed two of Delhi’s wickets with only 24 runs on the board as NV Ojha’s wicket was followed by the prized wicket of middle-order batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DPMD-Jayawardene-c1397,
With Jayawardene off the field, Delhi were sailing in hostile waters, and their hopes of posting a daunting total on the board had hit rock bottom.
A fruitful innings did, however, come from Y Nagar, who remained not out on 43 runs, but it was too little and too late to put the team on a strong total as Delhi finished on a humble tally of 114 runs.
Chennai then had a splendid start to their run chase as openers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/M-Vijay-c1867 clobbered a stand of 75 runs.
Hussey (38) was the only wicket to fall from his side as Chennai reached the required target in 15.2 overs with Vijay on 48 and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SK-Raina-c2539 on 28 runs.
Speaking after the match, the triumphant skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 said, “Needed to play authentic cricket chasing less than a run a ball. Hussey and Vijay gave us the start we needed. It was not swinging too much after the first couple of overs, so we needed to keep Hilfenhaus for the death overs, he has given us than extra spark. Albie's bowling well with him, openers doing well too.”
Super Kings are now at fourth spot on the points table with seven wins from 14 matches, while Delhi are still at number-one spot with nine wins from 13 matches.
