CSK vs DD, IPL 2018 Live Cricket Score: Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Daredevils

KM Asif to S Iyer, Good length on off, Iyer needs a sighter as he pushes it to mid on.

Shreyas Iyer is the next man in.

KM Asif to P Shaw, OUT! Asif has the last laugh! A shot too many by Shaw! This one is short again on off, Shaw tries to play the pull shot but the ball hurries onto him. It takes the top edge and lobs towards Jadeja at mid on who takes a couple of steps back and pouches it. An early wicket for Chennai and this is something Delhi did not need. The free-flowing Shaw makes his way back cheaply this time.

KM Asif to P Shaw, FOUR! This is even better than the last shot! Fuller on middle, Shaw hits it through mid on and there is no stopping that. Second boundary from the over.

KM Asif to P Shaw, A bumper on middle, Shaw ducks under it.

KM Asif to P Shaw, FOUR! Hits it to the safest place on the field... over the bowler's head. Short and on off, Shaw hits it down the ground and the ball races away to the fence. First boundary in this innings.

KM Asif to P Shaw, WIDE! Not a good start by him. Down the leg side and the umpire calls it a wide.

KM Asif to bowl from the other end.

L Ngidi to C Munro, Another swing and another miss! Just a run from Ngidi's first over. This is just ahead of a length outside off. Munro slashes at it but misses.

L Ngidi to C Munro, Good length again and gets it to take off after pitching. Munro pushes it back to him.

L Ngidi to C Munro, A bumper now! Good bowling this by Ngidi. Munro goes for the pull but misses.

L Ngidi to C Munro, Hits the length hard and also gets extra bounce. Munro pushes it to covers.

L Ngidi to P Shaw, Delhi are underway! This is short and on off, Shaw guides it down to third man for a run.

We are back for the chase! Delhi have a huge task ahead of them. 212 is what they need. Colin Munro and Prithvi Shaw make their way out to the middle. They will try and get their team off to a flier. The latter will be on strike and he will be facing Lungi Ngidi. Here we go...

Delhi will not be pleased at all with how they've done in the field. A lot of loose balls, a lack of discipline in their line and a couple of dropped chances, one of Dhoni himself, has hurt them tremendously. Most of them, barring Mishra and Khan, were smacked all around the park. Now, with such a big target to hunt down, the start will be pivotal. The visiting side will hope their openers are able to do that. Join us in a bit for the run chase.

Chennai have powered their way to 211. Blistering knocks from almost everyone who has played for them this evening. Watson and du Plessis got them off to a flier with the former firing away without wasting time. Got to his fifty in no time and set the tone for the rest to take advantage of. Rayudu and Dhoni walked in and continued with the same. 74 runs came in the last 5 overs, with the skipper scoring a quickfire fifty himself and Rayudu just missing out.

T Boult to MS Dhoni, A couple to end the last over! 13 from it. This is full and outside off, Dhoni hits it through extra cover and runs two. He brings up his fifty with that, his 20th in this League and it has come up in just 22 balls and his knock has ensured CHENNAI FINISH WITH 211!

Ravindra Jadeja is the next man in.

T Boult to MS Dhoni, OUT! Rayudu has been run out! A good change in length by Boult he bowls it short and on the body. Dhoni goes for the pull but the ball brushes his gloves and goes towards the keeper who dives to his left but drops it. Rayudu wants a run and almost completes it but Dhoni says go back as he wants to keep strike for the last ball. Rayudu turns and runs towards the non-striker's end. Pant in the meantime throws the ball to Boult who does not miss as he hits bull's eye at his end. End of another useful knock by him but once again he has been run out.

T Boult to MS Dhoni, FOUR! He moves onto 49 with a powerful stroke! This is just brute force. Do not put your hands in the way on that shot. Comes down the track and flat-bats it past the bowler and through mid off for a boundary.

T Boult to MS Dhoni, SIX Dhoni has no mercy this evening. He comes on strike and dispatches this into the crowd. A low full toss on middle, Dhoni heaves it over the mid-wicket fence for another biggie.

T Boult to A Rayudu, A low full toss outside off, not easy to get those away as Rayudu hits it down to long off for a run. So a good start to the last over by Boult.

T Boult to A Rayudu, A dot to begin the last over! Rayudu walks across and Boult bowls it down the leg side. Rayudu misses the sweep and the umpire does not signal a wide.

Trent Boult will bowl the final over of the innings.

A Khan to MS Dhoni, SIX! No, he can't! He serves a juicy full toss on middle. Not a lot of batsmen would miss out there and Dhoni certainly won't as he helps it on its way over the square leg fence. 11 from the over. This biggie was measured at 108 meters. That came right off the middle.

A Khan to MS Dhoni, A dot, precious at this stage! Full and outside off, Dhoni lets it be. Can Avesh finish this over well?

A Khan to A Rayudu, Driven through covers for a run. Singles is all what Chennai have got in this over.

A Khan to MS Dhoni, Fuller on off, driven down to long off for a run.

A Khan to A Rayudu, Played to mid-wicket region by the batsman. The batsmen have run through for a single.

A Khan to A Rayudu, WIDE! Outside off, Rayudu makes a leave and the umpire calls it a wide.

A Khan to MS Dhoni, In the air... it is towards Munro, he should take this easily but no, he has DROPPED IT! Khan is not a happy man. This was an absolute sitter. A short ball on middle, Dhoni goes for the pull but does not get it off the middle. It goes uppishly towards deep mid-wicket. Munro there takes a couple of steps ahead but scuffs it. With two overs to go, how costly will this prove?

Avesh Khan returns to the attack.

L Plunkett to A Rayudu, FOUR! This looks deliberate! This is short and outside off, Rayudu cuts it fine past the short third man fielder for a boundary. 10 from the last two balls and 38 from the last two overs.

L Plunkett to A Rayudu, SIX! Ambati Rayudu the man in form! What a shot! Uses his feet, makes the length ball into a full ball. He hits it over the bowler's head for a biggie. A quick fire 50-run stand between the two comes up.

L Plunkett to MS Dhoni, Short ball on middle, Dhoni finds short fine leg with the pull but gets a single.

L Plunkett to A Rayudu, Slaps this one through covers for just a run. So six from the first three balls.

L Plunkett to A Rayudu, FOUR! There was a fine leg in place but Rayudu has pulled it so fine that he had no chance. He walks across to the off side and pulls it through short fine leg for a boundary.

L Plunkett to MS Dhoni, Shorter in length, Dhoni tries to guide it through backward point and short third man but does not find the gap and a single results.

Liam Plunkett is back.

T Boult to A Rayudu, 6,6,4,1,4,0 is how this over reads! 21 from it. Rayudu tries to be cheeky with a reverse sweep to a ball way outside off. He misses.

T Boult to A Rayudu, FOUR! Rayudu gets into the act this time. A low full toss outside off, Rayudu goes across his stumps and hits it in the gap through deep mid-wicket and long on for another boundary.

T Boult to MS Dhoni, The slower one this time. Dhoni shuffles across and flicks it towards square leg. The fielder there dives to his right and saves three runs for his team.
