CSK defeats DD by 5 wickets - IPL 3

In the 11th match today, Delhi Daredevils won the toss and elected to bat first. They got to a flying start with Sehwag at his devastating best. Though other Delhi batsmen contributed a little, but it was Sehwag’s who stole the show. He scored 74 runs off just 38 balls (4*10, 3*6). After a good start, Delhi Daredevils fumbled in the middle orders and lost some quick wickets. But in the end, Mithun Manhas and Rajat Bhatia scored some quick runs and helped them score 185/6 in 20 overs.

Chasing a target of 187 to win, Chennai Super Kings started off well and scored 50/1 in 5 overs. The main stay was Hayden who with his mongoose bat was a source of attraction. Hayden’s mongoose bat wrecked Delhi Daredevils bowlers and his blitzkrieg innings had put Chennai on top. Hayden scored 93 runs off just 43 balls ( 9*4,7*6). At one moment it looked all over for Delhi but then Hayden and Morkel’s wicket fell and Chennai were placed at 154/4 in 14.2 overs. Suresh Raina (captain) along with Murali Vijay then played well and ensured they dont mess up a brilliant effort by Hayden. Chennai Super Kings scored 190/5 in 19.1 overs to register a comfortable win over Delhi Daredevils
