In the present week of IPL, we’ve seen multiple matches where one franchise has got defeated by another one by a big margin. A similar thing happened in the clash between CSK and DC, where the former beat the latter by a mammoth margin of 91 runs. CSK batted first and registered an impressive score of 208 on the scoreboard with the loss of 6 wickets. DC coming to bat in their turn got restricted to 117 and got all out in 17.4 overs. Here are 3 factors to discuss that led CSK towards victory.
Brilliant Innings by Devon Conway and CSK top order
Devon Conway played a terrific inning of 87 from 49 balls with 7 fours and 5 sixes, with a strike rate of 177.55. He played the most significant role in taking Chennai Super Kings towards a big total. Also, the top order including Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dube played their part well, by scoring 41 of 33 balls, and 32 of 19 deliveries respectively.
MS Dhoni finishes again
MS Dhoni has been in quite a good form for this reason, which is reflected in this match too. He came to bat at number 5, and did his job well, scoring 21 of 8 balls with 1 four and 2 sixes, and took his team past the 200-run mark. Chasing a score above 200 is always a work of pressure, even if it gets chased down successfully, and the CSK skipper helped his team to secure that mark.
Super Kings’ bowlers doing their job well
And lastly, it was the CSK bowlers who did the main work, by successfully defending the total against Delhi Capitals. All the 5 CSK bowlers picked up wickets, with Moeen Ali picking up 3, Mukesh Choudhary, Dwayne Bravo, and Simarjeet Singh picking up 2, and Maheesh Theekshana picking up 1.
