IPL 2022, CSK vs DC: Devon leads the way for Chennai Super Kings against Delhi Capitals | Cricket News
Delhi’s capital city was disordered leading to their game against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday with a Covid outbreak in their camp. James Hopesa member of team management, said in an interview with broadcasters that they hadn’t even had a team meeting about the game, and it showed.
AS IT HAPPENED
The Rishabh Pant boys lacked the plan and execution to deal with CSK’s bad guys who were hoping for a miracle to make it to the Playoffs. While CSK didn’t misplace a foot, DC was absolutely terrible with both stick and ball and after a 91 loss, it will be necessary to win the last three games to keep the chase going.
The fact that their Net Running Rate is also severely affected, will make things even more difficult going forward. The final win may not have made a difference to CSK’s fortunes this season, but it did lay the groundwork for them going forward.
For CSK, from Matthew Hayden As for Faf du Plessis, they have always been blessed with top quality foreign players who have single-handedly beat them in matches.
On Sunday, they unearthed a new foreign star that will serve them for a long time. Devon Conway not the most sought after opener in auctions. But according to the coach Stephen FlemingCSK’s input, CSK used Kiwi to replace Faf, who was snapped up by RCB. Conway had a tasteless start to his CSK career, then left camp to get married, and since his return he has kept in touch a lot.
After a couple of impressive performances in the last two games, Conway showed his full potential against the Delhi Capitals on Sunday. It was 87 of Conway’s 49 balls that helped CSK race 208-6 after being Rishabh Pant.
In 110’s open partnership with Ruturaj Gaikwadi (41) through 11 rounds, Conway threatened to take the game away from the Capitals. While Ruturaj seemed solid on one end, it was Conway who hit the gas himself.
To make a 208 match, the Capitals need a similar start as CSK. But David Warner & Co. were not willing to give themselves time for them to attack CSK bowling which was not at its best at the end of the half. The wickets dropped quickly in the first 10 rounds and the chase was off in an instant.
