In the 55th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, Chennai S🎃uper Kings (CSK) thrashed Delhi Capitals (DC) by 91 runs at Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Mumbai oℱn Sunday.
Chasing a massive target of 209, the Capitals looked completely clueless as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals to reach only 117 in ღ17.4 overs, losing the contest by a massive margin of 91 runs.
David Warner (19), Mitchell Marsh (25), Rishabh Pant (21), and Shardul Thakur (24) were the only batters who could score in double digits for the Capitals. Moeen Ali was the star with the bꦰall for the defending champions. The right-armer picked up a brilliant three-wicket haul for 13 runs in his quota of 4♕ overs.
Earlier, Devon Conway demolished DC’s bowling attack to help CSK post a humungous total on the board. The New Zealand star took DC bowlers to the cleaners, smashing them all around the ground. The left-handed batter hit 87 runs from just 49 deliveries, with the help of 13 boundaries, including five gigantic sixes.
Apart from Conway, opener Ruturaj Gaikwad (41) and Shivam Dube (32) chipped in with valuable contributions to keep the pressure active on DC. Skipper MS Dhoni provided la✨te fireworks 🦩with 8-ball 21 to help the Super Kings reach 208/6 in their assigned 20 overs.
