In IPL 2024, this was DC’s first victory and CSK’s first defeat.
The YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam hosted the 13th IPL 2024 match, which saw Delhi Capitals defeat Chennai Super Kings by a margin of 20 runs.
After choosing to bat first, David Warner (52 off 35) and Rishabh Pant (51 off 32) destroyed the Delhi Capitals, helping them to post 191/5. 4-0-31-3 Matheesha Pathirana made sure the Capitals didn’t go above 200.
As a result, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rachin Ravindra were both removed by Khaleel Ahmed (4-1-21-2) in a powerplay, and CSK’s pursuit was never able to recover. Daryl Mitchell (34 off 26) and Ajinkya Rahane (45 off 30) got to work rebuilding the innings, but it never appeared as though the needed rate would go down. Even though MS Dhoni (37 off 16) gave it his all in the final overs, CSK could only muster 171/6, meaning it was too little, too late.
These are every game’s statistic and achievement.
