In the second IPL 2021 game – DC vs CSK – Delhi Capitals have mowed down 189 with seven wickets and eight balls to spare. Shaw and Dhawan rattled off 65 in the powerplay and they never really let up. Both proceeded to half-centuries in a 138-run opening stand off a mere 13.3 overs.

Though both batsmen fell in a space of three overs and the Capitals slowed down briefly, Pant finished it off with a pair of boundaries. This meant Raina’s half-century in the first half was thrust into the shade. Perhaps, CSK should have gone harder at the top on a flat Wankhede pitch.
