It was a challenging outing at the fortress for the Delhi Capitals as they went down to the Chennai Super Kings by eight wickets.
Skipper Axar Patel won the toss and opted to bat first on a surface that offered assistance to the bowlers. Despite early setbacks, Tristan Stubbs anchored the innings with composure, while Sameer Rizvi provided momentum through an attacking 40 off 24 balls. Their efforts helped DC post 155/7 in 20 overs.
In response, CSK put together a clinical chase, capitalising on key moments to stay ahead of the required rate. There were positives for DC with disciplined spells from Mitchell Starc and Lungi Ngidi, but the visitors ultimately crossed the line with eight wickets in hand.
The Capitals will now shift focus to their next fixture against the Kolkata Knight Riders, as they look to bounce back and strengthen their push for a playoff spot.
