CSK vs DC Highlights, IPL 2023: Matheesha Pathirana stars as Chennai Super Kings beat Delhi Capitals by 27 runs

CSK vs DC Live Score: Chennai wins

Pathirana was tasked with ending the match with the last over, but unfortunately, he started off with back-to-back wides. Lalit Yadav took advantage of this and hit a boundary off the second ball. He then managed to evade the fielder and hit another boundary on the third ball. The fourth ball was no different, as Yadav hit yet another boundary, completing a hat-trick of boundaries. However, Pathirana managed to redeem himself by knocking Yadav over on the fifth ball. With Yadav's departure, the match was over, and CSK emerged victorious with a 27-run lead.

CSK vs DC Live Score: 

Theekshana had dropped Axar Patel, and it was a low catch that should have been taken. Unfortunately, the spinner failed to latch onto the caught and bowled chance as the ball hit him on the wrist. Despite this, Chennai is in full control of the game, even with a six from Axar over long-off. Delhi has reached 100 runs, but they still require another 60 runs from 18 balls.

Jadeja has struck once again, showcasing Chennai's exceptional ability to restrict the flow of runs during the middle overs while simultaneously taking wickets. Unfortunately for Rossouw, his attempt at a slog-sweep fell short and was easily caught by the fielder at long-on. Pathirana made no mistakes in securing the catch.

Matheesha Pathirana has entered the game and Manish Pandey wastes no time in sending the bowler's delivery soaring over the deep mid-wicket for a maximum. However, Pathirana quickly regains his composure and delivers a brilliant yorker that catches Pandey off guard, resulting in the batsman's dismissal after a 29-ball 27.

CSK vs DC Live Score: 

Jadeja is now in his third over, and the Chennai spinners are expertly speeding through the overs. It is during these middle overs that they truly excel at stifling the opposing batsmen. Jadeja's pace, length, and stump-to-stump line have been nothing short of brilliant.
