Defending champions Chennai Super Kings are virtually out of the playoff race and will now look to finish the current season of IPL on a high note. The mid-season captaincy change brought some hope for the Chennai fans as MS Dhoni and co. defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in a high-scoring match on May 1.

However, the Yellow Army could not carry the momentum in their next outing against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Wednesday. After opting to bowl first, Chennai did well to limit RCB’s run rate in the middle overs. However, Dinesh Karthik displayed some impressive power-hitting to propel Bangalore’s total to 173.
In reply, Chennai got off to a good start with opener Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Convoy forging yet another 50- run opening stand. However, after the fall of Gaikwad in the seventh over, Chennai lost a wicket in regular intervals and was eventually restricted to 160, suffering a 13-run defeat.
Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, come into the match with an impressive victory against SRH in their last outing. Backed by David Warner’s unbeaten 92 and Rovman Powell’s quick-fire 67, Delhi put up a mammoth 207 runs on the board. Hyderabad was restricted to 186 at the end and Delhi got much-needed two points to keep its hope of playoff qualification alive.
