Deepak Chahar removed both the openers before a miscommunication saw Marsh and Manish Pande at the same end that led to the run out of Australian. DC- 25/3 in 3.1 overs.
WICKET! Deepak Chahar strikes in the very first over and David Warner has to go back. Tries to go over the covers but it's caught and Warner goes for a duck. DC- 0/1 after 0.2 overs.
MS Dhoni also played an impactful knock, scoring 20 off 9 that really helped CSK get past 160.

Axar Patel (2 for 27), Kuldeep Yadav (1 for 28) and Mitchell Marsh (3 for 18) the leading wicket-takers for DC this evening.
END OF INNINGS! CSK End their innings at- 167/8. Shivam Dube (25 off 12) the leading run-scorer for the hosts completes an innings which was studded with a lot of little contributions.
Mahi Maar raha hai! 2 sixes and a boundary in the 19th over by Khaleel Ahmed from the bat of DHONI. CSK- 160/6. Marsh to bowl the 20th over.
2 overs to go. CSK- 139/6.

Another wicket and once again it is a spinner who has tasted success for DC. Lalit Yadav has taken a blinder of a catch off his own bowling to remove Ajinkya Rahane. CSK- 77/4 in 11.1 overs.
Another wicket and this time it is Moeen Ali who has to go. Kuldeep Yadav gets the better of the Englishman. Testing conditions here. CSK- 64/3 in 9.4 overs. Shivam Dube and Ajinkya Rahane out in the middle for the home team.

Background
Match number 55 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will see the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) take on the Delhi Capitals at the MA Chidamabram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday (May 10). Both teams find themselves in contrasting positions on the points tally. While CSK are at the second place on the table with 13 points from 11 matches and a net run rate (NRR) of +0.409, DC are languishing at the bottom of the points table with 9 points from 10 matches and a NRR of -0.529.
Both the teams will meet for the first time this season but will have face each other shortly after their first encounter of the season this Wednesday. Despite David Warner-led DC being at the bottom of the table, the fact remains that they are mathematically alive in the season and CSK haven't yet confirmed their berth in the top four. Anrich Nortje had left for South Africa for a personal emergency and continues to be uavailable for this match.
As far as CSK are concerned, despite Ben Stokes being available for selection for this game, it is likely that the Men in Yellow will choose not to include him in the Playing XI as that might alter the balance of the side. On a spinning track, CSK are likely to stick with Moeen Ali rather than rope in Stokes.
Two stats tough show massive advantage to CSK before this game. First they are the only season this year who have won more than they have lost at home and this will be a home fixture and second Delhi's last win over CSK at Chepauk came in 2010 after which they have lost six matches in a row but Delhi would take hope from the fact that they have played some of their better cricket in the second half of the league stage and can beat any oppposition on a given day.
Probable XIs:
CSK: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane, Shivam Dube, Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (captain/wicketkeeper), Deepak Chahar, Maheesh Theekshana, Matheesha Pathirana, Tushar Deshpande
DC: David Warner (captain), Phil Salt (wicketkeeper), Mitchell Marsh, Rilee Rossouw, Manish Pandey, Axar Patel, Aman Khan, Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar, Ishant Sharma, Khaleel Ahmed
