Chennai Super Kings qualified for the IPL playoffs with a 77 run win over Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Saturday. With their IPL playoff chances on the line, CSK didn’t err with the bat or the ball for a win that could well take them to the top-two in the points table. The game was as good as over during CSK’s opening wicket stand with Ruturaj Gaikwad (79 from 50 balls) and Devon Conway (87 from 52 balls) stitching a 141 run stand.

Chasing 224, DC skipper David Warner led from the front but didn’t find much support from his teammates as Delhi could only manage 146/9 in 20 overs. Warner scored 86(58), while none of the other batters could breach the 20-run mark, with Axar Patel’s 15(8) being the second-highest from the DC camp. Deepak Chahar scalped three wickets, while Sri Lankan duo Maheesh Theekshana and Matheesha Pathirana scalped two wickets each. Ravindra Jadeja and Tushar Deshpande also picked one wicket each. Earlier, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway added 141 runs for the opening wicket as CSK piled a gigantic 223/3 in 20 overs. Gaikwad was dismissed for 79(50), while Conway scored 87(52).
