DC vs CSK Highlights, IPL 2021 Qualifier 1: Uthappa, Gaikwad, Dhoni take Chennai Super Kings to their 9th IPL final

Smoked! An 88-metre long strike of the deep mid-wicket fence. Rohin Uthappa looking in splendid touch today. Length ball into the pads from Avesh Khan and Uthappa middles it to perfection. CSK 45/1 after 5.2 overs

Nicely done! Ruturaj Gaikwad moves outside leg, makes room for himself and plays an Axar Patel delivery inside-out to the deep extra-cover fence. CSK 39/1 after 4.5 overs

Kagiso Rabada, this time strays into the pads of Robin Uthappa as he comfortably flicks the ball to the fine-leg fence. CSK 33/1 after 3.5 overs

Cracker! Ruturaj Gaikwad welcomes Kagiso Rabada into the attack with a cracking six down town. Dances down the track and slams Rabada fearless just in front of the sight screen. CSK 26/1 after 3.1 overs

0 2 1 1 0 0 - A tight second over from Anrich Nortje. Just four runs came off it. Kagiso Rabada replaces Avesh Khan at the other end.

Wd 4 0 L1 0 1 1 - 8 runs from Avesh Khan first over as well. Anrich Nortje to continue from the other end.

Nicely done! Short and outside off from Avesh Khan. Robin Uthappa opens the face of his bat and guides the ball past the first slip fielder and it races to the third-man fence. CSK 13/1 after 1.1 overs

1 1 1 W 4 1 - 8 runs and a wicket in the first over from Anrich Nortje. Avesh Khan to share the new ball with Nortje from the other end.

A cracker of a shot from Robin Uthappa to get off the mark. Sublime! A soild punch through covers and the ball races to the fence.

Wicket in the first over for Anrich Nortje. A 147.5 kph ripper from Nortje and Faf du Plessis had absolutely no clue about that one. Plays down the wrong line and gets absolutely beaten by the pace. Chennai in trouble early as du Plessis walks back for 1. CSK 3/1 after 0.4 overs

Ruturaj Gaikwad and Faf du Plessis are in the middle to start the 173-run chase for Chennai Super Kings. Delhi Capitals to begin with Anrich Nortje. Gaikwad on strike. Here we go!

That's it! Shardul Thakur completes the final over of the innings. Shardul gives 8 runs in his final over as Delhi Capitals get to 172 for 5 after their 20 overs. Rishabh Pant gets to his fifty on the last ball of the innings with a couple of runs. A Prithvi Shaw blitz at the top and an 83-run partnership for the fourth wicket has taken Delhi to a very competitive total against Chennai Super Kings. CSK's batting has disappointed them in the last three matches! Will Dhoni and co. shine with the bat today? They need 173 runs off 120 balls for a direct place in the final!

Wd 6 1 2 W 1 0 - 11 runs and a wicket in the penultimate over from Dwayne Bravo. Rishabh Pant is batting on 43 and Tom Curran (1*) has joined him recently. Shardul Thakur to bowl the final over of the innings.
