Chennai Super Kings batsman Devon Conway said skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni's advice on handling spinners helped him score his third straight half-century in the Indian Premier League (IPL) as they thumped Delhi Capitals by 91 runs on Sunday.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) defeated Delhi Capitals (DC) by 91 runs in Match 55 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. Chasing a target of 209 runs, DC were bowled out for 117 in 17.4 overs with Moeen Ali taking three wickets in his four overs. Meanwhile, Mukesh Choudhary and Dwayne Bravo bagged two wickets each. Initially, Chennai posted 208 for six in 20 overs with Devon Conway hammering 87 runs off 49 balls.
Opener hits 87 as team coasts to win over CapitalsDelhi Capitals were in disarray leading up to their game against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday with a Covid outbreak in their camp. James Hopes, a member of the team management, said in an interview with the broadcasters they didn't even have a team meeting going into the game, and it showed. AS IT HAPPENEDRishabh Pant's boys lacked the planning and the execution to deal with the guile of CSK, who are hoping for a miracle to make the Playoffs. While CSK didn't put a foot wrong, DC were absolutely awful both with the bat and ball and following the 91-run loss, will need to win the last three games to stay in hunt. The fact that their Net Run Rate too, took a severe hit, will make things even more difficult going forward. The win may not finally make a difference to CSK's fortunes this season, but it provided them building blocks for the future.
Devon Conway's blazing blade and Moeen Ali's effective off-breaks beautifully complemented each other as Chennai Super Kings outclassed Delhi Capitals in every department of the game, winning their IPL 2022 match by a comprehensive 91-run margin. Put in to bat, Conway completed a hat-trick of half-centuries with a superb 87 off 49 balls to set up a winning score of 208 for 6 in 20 overs. The scoreboard pressure was always mounting on Capitals as they finally managed 117 in 17.4 overs with Moeen (3/13 in 4 overs) taking wickets of Mitchell Marsh (25 off 20 balls) and skipper Rishabh Pant (21 off 11 balls) in quick succession to finish the contest.

Chennai Super Kings have struggled for form this season, with just three wins in 10 matches. The franchise had a captaincy change mid-season, with MS Dhoni back as the skipper as Ravindra Jadeja stepped down. While they won the first match after that change against SunRisers Hyderabad, they suffered a defeat in their next game to Royal Challengers Bangalore. The defending champions next take on fifth-placed Delhi Capitals at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai in Sunday's second match as they look to keep alive their slim hopes of making it to the playoffs. Shivam Dube and Dwayne Bravo have missed out on the last two matches and while there is no word on Dube, Bravo is understood to have a niggle that has kept him out of the playing XI.
Delhi Capitals bowlers need to stop opener Ruturaj from taking chargeA glance at the IPL table may suggest that eight wins (16 points) is a minimum to qualify for the Playoffs. If that holds true, then Delhi Capitals with 10 from 10 are on a tight-rope walk and Chennai Super Kings (6 points from 10) are already playing for pride. But strange things have happened in IPL before with everything going topsy-turvy towards the business end. That makes CSK believe that seven wins can still be enough for the fourth team to sneak through. Albeit mathematical, there's still a chance for CSK and that's what is going to make them a dangerous proposition for Delhi.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) pacer Josh Hazlewood described the 13-run victory over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as the 'most important' win for the team so far in the IPL 2022 as it kept them in the quest for the play-offs. Superb bowling efforts from Harshal Patel (3/35) and Glenn Maxwell (2/22) guided Royal Challengers Bangalore to a win over Chennai Super Kings here at MCA stadium in Pune on Wednesday.
