An exceptionally disciplined show from the Delhi Daredevils bowlers restricted table-toppers Chennai Super Kings to 119 for 6, to set up a convincing and consolatory six-wicket win on a slightly uneven and sluggish pitch in Raipur. Ironically, Daredevils were without their their top three wicket-takers of the season so far, Imran Tahir, Amit Mishra and Nathan Coulter-Nile, who was excluded for Gurinder Sandhu. Daredevils' chase was later steered with 20 balls to spare by an unbeaten and uncluttered fifty from Shreyas Iyer.
The loss means that Super Kings still haven't technically made it to the playoffs. Even though they are on top with 16 points and a game to go, they could be out on net run rate.
