Nortje to finish off with his spell here!
He bowls some quick short balls and keeps it tight to not give any room to Dhoni and Jadeja! Just 6 runs from the second-last over! Looks like CSK is playing now for the Net Run Rate (NRR) but for the NRR to be effective, don't they need to win games?

Strange batting by CSK batters against spinners so far...they are trying to go big against spinners by hitting them against the spin! After the strategic timeout, Patel bowls the 10th over which means all remaining three overs by Rabada will be bowled in the last 10 overs. Gaikwad gets run-out on 5...miscommunication leads to tragedy! Pant is quick behind the stumps to get him clean run-out (3 runs and one wicket from this over).

Sam Curran back into the attack after the strategic timeout! Chawla getting two wickets has pulled back Chennai into the game.

Terrific batting from Shaw at Dubai!!!Chawla has been handed the ball and starts the over by bowling a flighted delivery, looks like a googly almost.

MS Dhoni goes level with Suresh Raina as most capped IPL player..193rd appearance for the legend
After the end of powerplay, the ball has been given to Chawla now! The first over after powerplay is considered to be the easiest over for the bowling team as the field restrictions are lifted. Shaw opens up his arms by hitting two fours to Chawla and gets the much-needed good over for DC.
Jadeja gets to bowl the first over of the game and he commits a big blunder by giving Dhawan a delivery right in his slot! Gabbar slogs it over mid-wicket for a big SIX!

Deepak Chahar has been brought back to bowl his second over! The field setup by Dhoni looks really great as both openers are struggling to find gaps...also not to forget the disciplined bowling from CSK bowling attack! Pressure continues to build on both DC openers now! DC are 36/0 after 6 overs.
Hazlewood almost got Shaw's wicket in the second ball of his over...Shaw smashed it hard but a mis-hit from him goes past mid-on but has got enough power behind it to clear the fielders and land in the safe zone! DC openers manage just deal in singles in the next few balls to end the fifth over. DC are 30/0 after 5 overs.
Sam Curran continues with his spell...bowls the first poor delivery of his over and it results in a four off Shaw! Gets back to regulation swing and keeps it simple. Shaw has had enough of his failed attempts to find gaps and this time (4th ball of the over) he stands tall, goes hard against the delivery and clears the field with ease. DC are 27/0 after 4 overs.
Aussie star paceman Josh Hazlewood replaces D Chahar in the attack and its after a long time Chahar has been taken off after just one over from him. The experience of Hazlewood is benefiting him at the moment. Focuses on short length deliveries, onto the pads. Good move by MS Dhoni to bring in the Aussie speedster early on as he gives away just four runs from his over. DC are 15/0 after 3 overs.
Sam Curran bowls the second over and nice swing away is not making it easy for DC openers to hit boundaries. Sam Curran started the over really well with two great swinging deliveries.He manages to beat Dhawan with speed and swing as well. Curran ends the over with a brilliant bouncer and gives away just 2 runs from it. DC are 11/0 after 2 overs.
It's all about to star here at Dubai!!! The young Delhi Capitals take on experienced Chennai Super Kings! Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan are out to open the innings for DC...Deepak Chahar has been handed the new ball by Dhoni. He's getting help from the pitch with the new ball and the ball is swinging at the moment. Brilliant timing from Shaw helps him get back-to-back boundaries. Bad from Chahar to pitch short and widish deliveries. DC are 9/0 after 1 over

Background
CSK vs DC HIGHLIGHTS: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) win toss and opt to bat first against Delhi Capitals. While CSK head into the game after suffering a 16-run defeat at the hands of Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Capitals registered a thrilling win over Kings Eleven Punjab in their season opener.
CSK have some batting woes to address with only Proteas import Faf Du Plessis being the consistent scorer in both their games so far. Sam Curran has done a good job with pinch hitting but the other frontline batsman have failed to deliver ..CSK would look see Dhoni bat in the top 5 after he received a lot of flak for coming down the order in both the games and leaving the chase against too late
Delhi too have been up and down with the bat with their top order failing against Punjab. It was a late flourish from Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis which helped DC post a comeback into the game after the Punjab bowlers made inroads into their top order.
Both teams are plagued with injuries and would look to tinker their playing combination yet again. While Ambati Rayadu is not certain to play the next few games, Delhi are also troubled by injuries to seamer Ishant Sharma and spinner Ravichandran Ashwin
CSK bowling has also come under the scanner with seamer Lungi Ngidi and Piyush Chawla going for plenty against Rajasthan Royals. So we might see one of them being dropped.
Meanwhile, the DC bowlers had a decent outing against Kings Eleven Punjab. However, the only major concern for them remains the injury to ace spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who picked a couple of wickets in his very first over, but had to go off the field later
CSK have enjoyed their rivalry against DC in the IPL, winning 15 of the 21 games. However, every game is a new start and both teams will spare no efforts to win the battle later in the evening at Dubai
Here are the full squads for the Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals match later in the day
CSK: MS Dhoni (Captain), M Vijay, Ambati Rayudu, Faf du Plessis, Shane Watson, KedarJadhav, Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja, Lungi Ngidi, Deepak Chahar, Piyush Chawla, Imran Tahir, Mitchell Santner, Josh Hazlewood, Shardul Thakur, Sam Curran, N Jagadeesan, KM Asif, Monu Kumar, R Sai Kishore, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Karn Sharma.
DC: Shreyas Iyer (Captain), Ravichandran Ashwin, Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Shimron Hetmyer, Kagiso Rabada, Ajinkya Rahane, Amit Mishra, Rishabh Pant (wk), Ishant Sharma, Axar Patel, Sandeep Lamichhane, Keemo Paul, Daniel Sams, Mohit Sharma, Anrich Nortje, Alex Carey (wk), Avesh Khan, Tushar Deshpande, Harshal Patel, Marcus Stoinis, Lalit Yadav
