CSK vs DC Live Score, IPL 2023: Chennai spinners turn the screws, Delhi struggle to find runs chasing 168

IPL 2023 CSK vs DC Live Score: 

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) faced early troubles on a sluggish pitch, much like the Delhi Capitals. CSK lost wickets of David Warner and Phil Salt in quick succession, while Mitchell Marsh fell victim to a mix-up with Manish Pandey. Currently, Pandey and the dangerous Rilee Rossouw are attempting to rebuild the chase for Delhi Capitals.

At one point, CSK found themselves struggling at 77/4 after 11 overs, as the pitch became increasingly slow and challenging. However, the late blows from MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja, accompanied by Shivam Dube's innings, propelled CSK to a total of 167/8 in their allotted 20 overs.

Dhoni's quickfire knock of 20 runs off just nine balls, combined with Jadeja's contribution, added 38 runs in a mere 18 balls for the seventh wicket partnership. Prior to their partnership, the CSK top order had struggled against the spin trio of Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, and Lalit Yadav.

In the end, Mitchell Marsh bowled a brilliant final over, conceding only seven runs and claiming two crucial wickets. His exceptional spell yielded figures of 3/18, significantly impacting CSK's recovery and limiting their final total.
