DEL Vs CHN IPL live Cricket Score Today, The Mongoose bat and brilliant skills did it all for Matthew Hayden as he steered Chennai Super Kings past the 50-run mark against Delhi Daredevils at the Ferozshah Kotla stadium here on Friday.

Chennai Super Kings got a superb start to the target chase of 186 runs, thanks to Matthew Hayden. However, his opening partner, Parthiv Patel could not keep him company for long as he was run-out by AB de Villiers for just 6 runs.

After being criticized for poor fielding in their previous matches, the Delhi Daredevils clearly worked upon that aspect; an evidence for the same was the way de Villiers dismissed Patel. Later, Amit Mishra’s efforts, almost got Hayden out, but unfortunately or fortunately, you may decide that, Haydos was faster than expected.

Later, a superb catch by Amit Mishra departed S Badrinath for 14 runs, leaving the onus again on Hayden, who also claimed his eight IPL fifty.

Earlier, A dazzling 74-run innings by Daredevilish Virender Sehwag and wonders by Mithun Manhas in the late-overs guided Delhi to 185/6 against Chennai Super Kings in their IPL encounter at the Ferozshah Kotla stadium here on Friday.

Captain Dinesh Karthik earlier won the toss for Delhi Daredevils and decided to make complete use of the high-scoring Kotla pitch by opting to bat first.

What started as a high-volatage innings for Delhi, slopped down in between but made a super comeback in the death overs, thanks to the heart-rending 74 by Sehwag and some powerful display of shots by Manhas (32) in the late overs.

Opening the innings with David Warner, Sehwag clearly intended to give nightmares to Chennai bowlers. The Nawab of Najafgarh hit a sparkling 74 with the help of ten smashing boundaries and three sky-high sixes to claim his sixth IPL fifty.

Even after the dismissal of Warner (6), Sehwag continued to created havoc along with Tilakaratne Dilshan (15). After much toiling, Raina took a fantastic catch at the short mid-wicket to dismiss Dilshan of a Muttiah-Muralitharan delivery.

After Dilshan’s delivery, Delhi hoped Sehwag to keep going. But a couple of balls later, Justin Kemp took a stunner of catch at the long off to end Sehwag’s scintillating innings, giving some breathing space to Chennai Super Kings.

The jitters for Delhi did not end there as again Raina caught AB de Villiers (3), leaving Delhi a bit worried at 107/4.

Nevertheless, the fall of wickets did not dampen the Daredevils’ hopes as skipper Dinesh Karthik (19), Rajat Bhatia (21) and Mithun Manhas played some powerful shots to help Delhi post quite a decent score of 185/6 against Chennai.

Both the teams played without their original captains as Gautam Gambhir’s hamstring injury forced him out of Friday’s match and Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s elbow injury ruled him out of the IPL for two weeks.

In the absence of Dhoni, Raina had been appointed the stand in skipper of the Chennai Super Kings, which made him the youngest captain ever in the history of the Indian Premier League.
