Matheesha Pathirana to Tristan Stubbs. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long on for 2 runs, shy attempt by Choudhary, fielded by Ravindra. That will be the end of the first innings. After opting to bat, Delhi Capitals have posted a challenging total on the board. After losing Fraser-McGurk early in the innings, classy KL Rahul stayed firm in the middle and scored 77 runs off 51 balls, while the rest of the lineup couldn't capitalise on the platform built by the top order. Khaleel Ahmed is the standout bowler for the Super Kings with two wickets. Let's see whether the Chennai Super Kings batters can change the recent fortunes and chase down this target of 184 and claim a victory today.
