Delhi Daredevils (DD) restored some pride with a 34-run win against a formidable Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in a dead rubber of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018 at Ferozshah Kotla on Friday night.

Leg-spinners Amit Mishra (2/20) and Sandeep Lamichhane (1/21) then starred in an impressive bowling effort that restricted CSK to 128 for six. All-rounder Patel chipped in with the ball as well by taking the prized wicket of Ambati Rayudu (50 off 29). (Scorecard)

19:00 IST: Hello and welcome to the live blog of the match between Delhi Daredevils vs Chennai Super Kings straight from Ferozshah Kotla.
The bowling has not stood out individually but has done the job as a unit. Shardul Thakur has been their leading wicket-taker with 11 scalps, followed by Dwayne Bravo, who has picked up nine. The experienced spin duo of Harbhajan Singh and Ravindra Jadeja have been effective at keeping things tight.
CSK will get to fine-tune their game against Daredevils, a team which has been below par yet again. Getting the legendary Ricky Ponting on board as a coach and a change in captaincy in the middle of the tournament too has not helped the struggling side.
They have had the much-needed break of five days and will be fresh going into today's game. They are playing for pride and would like to be on the winning side in their remaining two games. The management handed out IPL debuts to Sandeep Lamichhane, Abhishek Sharma and Junior Dala in the previous game against RCB.
