IPL 2020 Highlights, DC vs CSK Match, Full Cricket Score: Dhawan's maiden ton powers Delhi to five-wicket win over Chennai

Jadeja, and not Dwayne Bravo’s bowling the final over, and he starts off with a wide. Dhawan then collects two off the first legal delivery as he guides the ball towards the leg side. Axar Patel, however, reminds every just how useful he is with the bat in hand as he smashes Jadeja out of the park, collecting three sixes off four deliveries — to finish the game by himself as Delhi Capitals collect their seventh win of the campaign with five wickets and a delivery to spare! For Chennai, they’re condemned to their sixth defeat in nine games, and by now the prospect of making it to the playoffs looks very difficult indeed for MS Dhoni and Co!

IPL 2020 LIVE SCORE, Delhi Capitals vs Chennai Super Kings latest updates: Jadeja, and not Dwayne Bravo’s bowling the final over, and he starts off with a wide. Dhawan then collects two off the first legal delivery as he guides the ball towards the leg side. Axar Patel, however, reminds every just how useful he is with the bat in hand as he smashes Jadeja out of the park, collecting three sixes off four deliveries — to finish the game by himself as Delhi Capitals collect their seventh win of the campaign with five wickets and a delivery to spare! For Chennai, they’re condemned to their sixth defeat in nine games, and by now the prospect of making it to the playoffs looks very difficult indeed for MS Dhoni and Co!Preview: Mahendra Singh Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are back to winning ways. After a long struggle, CSK defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Tuesday to break their losing streak. They have so far only won three out of eight contests and would need to win at least five from the next eight to have any chance of making it to the playoffs.It's a tough challenge no doubt but a team comprising of Shane Watson, Faf du Plessis, Dwayne Bravo and Dhoni can never be discounted.It was Dhoni's astute captaincy that helped CSK beat SRH. Their decision to bowl as many as seven bowlers and to make Sam Curran open the innings paid rich dividends.Now they face table toppers Delhi Capitals (DC) at Sharjah, a stadium where balls flying out of the ground has become a common spectacle, but the pitch has been slowing down for the last few matches and CSK are expected to continue with three spinners who played against SRH - Piyush Chawla, Karn Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja.DC's bowling on the other hand has emerged as the best among all the teams in this edition of IPL. They rely equally on their pacers and spinner. South Africa's Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje have been highly impressive and have been ably assisted by R Ashwin and Axar Patel.DC also boast of terrific batsmen like Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane, and Marcus Stoinis. However, consistency has been an issue for the batting lot and CSK would be looking to target this weakness.There's still no confirmation on whether DC captain Shreyas Iyer will play in the match after he injured his shoulder in the last contest against Rajasthan Royals (RR).Delhi Capitals full squad: Shreyas Iyer (Captain), Prithvi Shaw, Ajinkya Rahane, Shikhar Dhawan, Daniel Sams, Ishant Sharma, Amit Mishra, Avesh Khan, Sandeep Lamichhane, Kagiso Rabada, Keemo Paul, Mohit Sharma, Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel, Harshal Patel, R Ashwin, Marcus Stoinis, Anrich Nortje, Rishabh Pant, Alex Carey, Shimron Hetmyer, Tushar Deshpande.Chennai Super Kings full squad: MS Dhoni, Imran Tahir, Lungi Ngidi, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shane Watson, Ambati Rayudu, Murali Vijay, Kedar Jadhav, Ravindra Jadeja, Deepak Chahar, Piyush Chawla, N Jagadeesan, Mitchell Santner, KM Asif, Shardul Thakur, R Sai Kishore, Faf du Plessis, Monu Kumar, Dwayne Bravo, Josh Hazlewood, Sam Curran, Karn Sharma.Click here to read factboxes of all IPL teamsClick here to check out the full IPL 2020 ScheduleClick here to read all IPL team previewsClick here to read IPL FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
