Delhi Capitals vs Chennai Super Kings Live Score IPL 2020: Stoinis departs but Dhawan solid in 180 chase
Delhi Capitals vs Chennai Super Kings IPL 2020: Hello and welcome to our coverage of DC vs CSK live IPL match from Sharjah. Spared by the fielders a number of times, opener Shikhar Dhawan (101) hit his maiden IPL hundred while Axar Patel pulled off three sixes in the final over as Delhi Capitals moved to the top of the table with a tense five-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings on Saturday. Dropped on 25 and 79, apart from surviving a half chance and a run-out opportunity, Dhawan made full use of the lives given to him to raise his best IPL knock as the Capitals overhauled a stiff 180-run target with one to spare. On 99, Dhawan also got a caught-behind decision reversed, using DRS. Despite a well-set Dhawan at the crease, Sam Curran bowled an exceptional 19th over, giving away just four runs to keep CSK in hunt. Here you can follow all the updates from DC vs CSK live IPL match.
