We are all set for the action to begin. Out come the Delhi players with the umpires. Shane Watson and Faf du Plessis will open the batting for Chennai. Trent Boult will take the first up as always for Delhi. There's a slip in place. Let's roll...

MS Dhoni says Mumbai had good pace bowlers which was good on this wicket. Adds further they did not bowl well and they were fifteen runs short in the last game. Informs there are quite a few changes, Faf du Plessis, Lungi Ngidi, KM Asif and Karn Sharma come in and Sam Billings, Imran Tahir, Deepak Chahar and Shardul Thakur go out.

Shreyas Iyer says he is very pleased with his performance in the last game but now is looking forward to this game. Informs they are unchanged.

TOSS - Delhi win the toss and elect to field first.

Delhi on the other hand, got off to the perfect start under their new captain. Also they cannot afford anymore slip ups and Shreyas Iyer would want his team to carry forward the momentum from the last game. They go into this fixture as underdogs but a surprise cannot be ruled out. We can expect another cracking encounter. Welcome to the coverage.

Game no. 30 of this year's Indian T20 League is in Pune. Chennai will lock horns with Delhi. The home side heads into the game on the back of a defeat. The panic button though need not be pressed yet as they are riding high on the table. However, they would look to get back to winning ways tonight. They are a formidable unit and head into this fixture as favorites.
