0.3 OUT! CAUGHT! It is a clean catch. Top work at the fence by Nortje. Opening with Curran doesn't work out for Chennai this time around. Tushar with a success in the first over. Shortish and outside off, Curran looks to pull but gets a top edge. The ball balloons high and towards third man. Nortje is waiting for the ball there. He takes the catch but realizes the momentum will take him over the ropes. So, he manages to lob the ball up, and return back to take it nicely. The umpire calls for the help from the third umpire with the soft signal being out. Replays roll in and it confirms that it is a clean catch. 0/1

| Faf du Plessis | 58 | 47 | 6 | 2 | 123.40 |
|
14.4 OUT! CAUGHT! A well made 58 from 47 balls from du Plessis comes to an end. Shikhar Dhawan makes it up for his earlier fumbles with that. On off, du Plessis looked to slam that high on the leg side but ends up getting it off the toe edge. It goes uppishly towards long on. Shikhar Dhawan runs to his front and takes it this time. He is ecstatic with that as well. 50 wickets for Rabada in the Indian T20 League as well. Superb from the South African. 109/3

| Shane Watson | 36 | 28 | 6 | 0 | 128.57 |
|
11.4 OUT! BOWLED! Shane Watson gives himself some room on the off side but that proves to be his undoing this time around. Test match length fetches Nortje the result. On a good length around off, Watson moves to the leg side and looked to heave it over covers. However he ends up missing it badly. But Nortje does not. It hits the stumps behind, top of off. 87/2

| MS Dhoni C Wk | 3 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 60 |
|
16.3 OUT! CAUGHT! A faint edge. A little edge. Length ball around off, Dhoni comes down the track and looked to hammer that over mid-wicket. Ends up getting a faint outside edge back to the keeper, Alex Carey, who takes it. Not much of an excitement there, Dhoni starts walking and Nortje has his second. The Chennai skipper could just manage 3 runs. 129/4

|
0.2 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Shaw departs! First ball duck in the last game. Second ball duck here! Chennai are off to a perfect start. Shaw can be a dangerous customer if he gets going but it won't be the case here in this game. A length ball, this one is around off, it shapes away. Shaw looks to drive it on the up but the ball hits the splice of this bat and lobs back to the bowler. Chahar makes no mistake as he takes it easily. 0/1

| Ajinkya Rahane | 8 | 10 | 1 | 0 | 80 |
|
4.1 OUT! CAUGHT! What a catch from Sam Curran. That was an absolute blinder. Full and around off, it hurried onto Rahane. He drives it uppishly just to the right of Sam Curran. The fielder keeps his eyes on the ball and pulls off a stunner. It came quickly to him and he did well to grab that. 154 runs needed in 95 balls. 26/2

| Shreyas Iyer C | 23 | 23 | 1 | 1 | 100 |
|
11.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Just what the doctor ordered for Chennai. Captain Iyer has to go back for a run-a-ball 23. Full ball around off, Iyer looked to hammer it over long on for a maximum. However, he ends up getting only as far as the fielder there. Du Plessis, one of the safest hands in the deep for Chennai, takes it with ease. 86 runs needed in 51 balls for Delhi. 94/3

| Marcus Stoinis | 24 | 14 | 1 | 2 | 171.42 |
|
15.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Rayudu gobbles it this time. A short ball again, Stoinis goes for the pull again. Gets a top edge this time. The ball balloons high towards mid-wicket. Rayudu comes ahead and takes the catch easily. A much-needed wicket for Chennai. 43 more needed for Delhi in 26 balls. 137/4

| Alex Carey Wk | 4 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 57.14 |
|
18.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Carey departs! Curran with the wicket. A low full toss around off, Carey just flicks it, doesn't do it with a lot of power. He just kind of checks his shot. The ball goes to the left side of the long on fielder. Faf is the man there. He hardly drops. He moves to his left and takes a tumbling catch. 21 needed in 11 balls. 159/5
