I think it is because of Dhoni's extraordinary skill that Chennai has been able to beat Delhi. I know a lot of people lost money yesterday. Everyone thought DC would easily win the match. But early in the innings, Delhi lost wickets of destructive batsmen like Shikhar Dhawan, Iyer and Patel. Still, the target of 173 runs was enough to win. Delhi bowled well. But Gaikwad and Uthappa's 70 and 63 innings paved the way for Chennai's victory.
Dhoni has done a great finish today. It was a competitive match and CSK is the first finalist of this season. Delhi Capitals still have the opportunity to be the opponent of CSK in the final. But I'm thinking that Kolkata will win against Bangalore and they will go to the final by beating Delhi.
I am not sure whether KKR will be their opponents in the final. In order to qualify for the final, KKR needs to win two matches - first against the Royal Challengers Bangalore, and then against the Delhi Capitals. And both the matches are going to be tough. Delhi Capitals had a bad outing yesterday. But I still believe that they have the best team balance for any of the 8 franchises in this tournament. They should have won the match yesterday, if Dhoni was not there in the CSK squad. Tom Curran, who was bowling well until then got destroyed by MSD.
I have no word because I am the supporter of delli capitals and already betted and lost the match as usual lost the bet. I think strongly that delli can win the match because they are the top rankings point collector team but unfortunately they lost the match. But they have another chance as champion team
You are right. Although the DC team looks very strong and their performance is very stable, there is no way to underestimate the Chennai team. Their batsmen have the ability to collect more than 200 runs. However, considering the performance of the last few matches, we can definitely keep the Delhi team ahead. Since it is T20 format. So we have to be ready to see any miracle on the field.
I always think delli capitals won the match but unfortunately we see the opposite results in the match. If their bowling line up could control and ms dhoni Don't play well then it would have won the match for delli capitals. But however congratulations csk for their glorious victory.

If DC wins today's match then they will win this season IPL. They are very strong team if you compare them with CSK. But, you cannot underestimate CSK they have a very experienced team and a captain who is known to win games that were hard to win. Today's match would be the most interesting and exciting match.

I thought Delhi Capitals would win the match as they had a decent score on board but Chennai Super Kings proved me wrong and they way in which MSD can take the match till the last over creates the drama and tension for a T20 match and in a crucial match they were successful even though i thought Delhi Capitals have the bowlers to restrict them but i am not impressed with they way they used Ravichandran Ashwin who is one of their best bowler.
Chennai Super Kings rose to the occasion especially MS Dhoni because he was struggling whenever he went out to bat and when Chennai Super Kings lost Moeen Ali in the final over and MS Dhoni walked out i thought they lost the match because they still need 13 runs to win from 5 balls and MS Dhoni was struggling with the bat but he came to the rescue and showcased why he is the best finisher in history and the tweet by Kohli summarize the entire cricket fans feeling .
Delhi capitals have scored a competitive score of 172 runs and thanks to risabh pant and prithwi shaw for their innings and also a good contribution from hetmyre..it is a very good total but still i am backing chennai super kings to chase this total down
CSK are 111/1 after 13 overs!Scoreboard says all about CSK's dominance in chase. The CSK opener Robin Uthappa scored his 25th IPL fifty in the crucial moment. This has been a long time in the making but must be appreciated and the results are evident! It's great to see him bat, let's get the winning run.
Rabada and Norje are screwing this nets against CSK batting line up, both are very experienced bowlers and can handle situation like this for their team and for spot in final.
CSK have won the match. MSD has proved himself again as one of the best finishers of modern cricket. Gaikwad and Uthappa gave them a very good start and MSD finished the match with a match-winning knock of 18 runs off only 6 balls. In the bowling department, Hazlewood, Jadeja, and Moeen did good work giving 29,23, and 27 runs respectively. Hazlewood got 2 wickets. For DC Pant and Shaw played a good knock. In the end, it was a very close match. Congrats to CSK for reaching the finals.
Finally CSK have won the match and has entered the finals. Delhi played well in all means starting from batting, bowling and fielding. On the other side the partnership developed by Gaikwad and Uthappa gave stability to the match. The sudden fall of consecutive wickets turned the match, once again the momentum is taken back by Dhoni and the same lead to victory.

Yes, CSK to final. Its 9th time they are into IPL Final. It was really interesting to watch both team really play well and score more than 170. It was an awesome play from 4 players. 2 from DC scoring 50s in very less balls and 2 from CSK, Uthappa and Gaikwart hitting 50s. It was a real treat from Uthappa to his Son who celebrates his Birthday today. Awaiting for next game from CSK.

Delhi Capitals scored a competitive score of 172 runs considering the bowling line up they have. If Chennai Super Kings can overcome Anrich Nortje and Ravichandran Ashwin then they can win the match. Robin Uthappa was a surprise inclusion in the team and he is batting really well and if they can bat further and score at a good rate as they still need 74 runs in 48 balls which is a chaseable total but they need to bat sensibly when Anrich Nortje and Ashwin balls.

After winning the toss against Delhi, CSK captain Dhoni decided to bowl first. CSK has batted first against Delhi in the previous two matches. And they have lost both matches. So the decision to bowl first in this match is correct. In the first match against Delhi, Chennai gave a huge target of 189 runs. Even then they were defeated. Delhi batsmen are very experienced. I think they will be able to give a big target.
Delhi Capital scored 32 runs in 3 overs. And they didn’t lose any wickets. If Chennai can't catch Delhi's wicket quickly, their chances of winning the match are slim. Almost all the batsmen in Delhi can play very aggressively. If Chennai fail to take wickets, Delhi Capital will collect more than 200 runs today. If that happens then I don't think Chennai will win by batting for so many runs.

Yes, never underestimate CSK or any teams. Yes CSK did not perform well in last three matches. But yes, they do have strong players in line. Hope Dhoni and team have prepared themselves very well. Dubai pitch is long so lets see how it will support the teams.
Dhoni won the toss and chose bowling. Dhoni says, "the chasing seems gets better in the second half". He is cool since he is an experienced in 24 playoffs. Rishop Punt had thought of bowling first it he says and he is confident but bit nervous to face playoffs. Interesting. Strong teams. Lets face it.

The first playoff match between Delhi Capital vs Chennai Super Kings will be played today. The Delhi team looks very strong. Moreover, they have won both matches against Chennai this season. The morale of the players will definitely remain strong. The team that wins this match will advance to the final. So the match is very important for both the teams, even if they lose, they have one more chance to go to the final.
If you look at the team balance, then Delhi is much ahead. Their batting is quite strong, and both the top order and middle order is in good form. Rishabh Pant has done a good job with the captaincy so far (and also with the wicket keeping). Initially I had supported Shreyas Iyer for the captaincy, but have to agree that Rishabh has done a good job. In the bowling department, Anrich Nortje and Avesh Khan have been among the wickets. And for the spin department they have two very experienced spinners in Axar Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin. The main fact is that almost all the players in Delhi are in form. If their top order is not playing well, the middle order players are filling that gap. But the Chennai team is not like that. They are more dependent on the top order. In the middle order, Dhoni was able to score a few runs, but he wasted a lot of balls. So, it will be easier to beat Chennai if the opponent can catch the wickets of Chennai's top-order players early.
