IPL 2020 Live, CSK vs DC Cricket Score Online: Chennai Super Kings to bowl first

IPL 2020 Live Score, CSK vs DC Live Cricket Match Score Streaming Online Updates: Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals is the IPL match on Friday.

IPL 2020, CSK vs DC Live Cricket Match Score Online Updates: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) won the toss and chose to field first against Delhi Capitals (DC) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Friday.

CSK will have to pick up the pieces after the shock defeat to Rajasthan Royals on a batting belter at Sharjah. There was a poor show by their spinners and a disastrous 20th over in that match, but the batsmen can’t absolve themselves completely, especially Murali Vijay, Kedar Jadhav and the skipper himself. For Delhi Capitals, winning a cliffhanger right at the onset would have given them a lot of confidence even though Ravichandran Ashwin’s probable absence after a shoulder injury could force them to reshuffle their bowling line-up.

IPL 2020, CSK vs DC Live Updates:

Josh Hazlewood gets a game. In place of Lungisani Ngidi. Ashwin is out. Amit Mishra comes in in his place. Also, Avesh Khan gets a game in place of Mohit Sharma.

Delhi Capitals: Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shimron Hetmyer, Shreyas Iyer(c), Rishabh Pant(w), Marcus Stoinis, Axar Patel, Kagiso Rabada, Amit Mishra, Anrich Nortje, Avesh Khan

Chennai Super Kings: Murali Vijay, Shane Watson, Faf du Plessis, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Kedar Jadhav, MS Dhoni(w/c), Sam Curran, Ravindra Jadeja, Josh Hazlewood, Deepak Chahar, Piyush Chawla

CSK win toss, opt to bowl first vs DC

Dhoni seen bowling some off spin as we approach the toss. “What we’re noticing is a great pitch. This wicket is an absolute beauty. The seamers are likely to pick a majority of their wickets with balls around the short length area. Big dimensions, difficult to catch under these lights,” says Kevin Pietersen in his pitch report. Toss in 5 minutes.

News from the camps: Bravo is still not fit, and neither is Rayudu. Lungi Ngidi has been expensive so far. Could one of Imran Tahir or Josh Hazlewood turn out to be CSK’s go-to option tonight? Shardul Thakur will be hoping to find himself in the mix too. DC might go in with an unchanged side – the big question mark being on Ashwin’s availability. Ishant Sharma, Amit Mishra and Ajinkya Rahane are the biggest names who might be called upon from the bench for them.

Less than an hour to go before Dhoni and Iyer walk out for the toss. Several questions ahead of tonight’s blockbuster. Will Dhoni move himself up the order? The din about that is reaching crescendo levels right about now. Can Delhi get one of their openers to come good? Will CSK persist with Murali Vijay despite his slow innings last time out, and if yes, will he look to play in a different gear? With CSK looking stretched, can they find a new hero?
