Chennai Super Kings clinched their 2nd straight win of IPL 2019 by defeating the Delhi Capitals in a last over thriller. On a tricky track, the home team elected to bat first after winning the toss. The DC team was on the right track at 118/2 after 15 overs but ended with 29/4 from the last five overs. The defending champions were cruising in the 148-run chase as they were placed at 98/3 in the 11th over. Both MS Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav couldn’t score runs quickly but the target was too less to put pressure on CSK.

700 – Ishant Sharma completed 700 wickets in his professional career by dismissing Ambati Rayudu. The pacer claimed 426 wickets in first-class cricket, 178 in the List A format and 96 Twenty20 wickets thus far.
