On a slow batting wicket at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday night, hosts Delhi Capitals surprisingly decided to bat first and then suffered a batting meltdown and eventually lost to Chennai Super Kings by eight wickets. DC head coach Hemang Badani blamed his team’s inconsistency for their collective failure, citing shortcomings in previous matches too.   

There was nothing to celebrate for the DC fans, had it not been for a 65-run stand for sixth wicket between Tristan Stubbs (38) and Sameer Rizvi (40 not out) they would’ve struggled to get past that 150 mark (155-7). CSK reached the target in 17.3 overs thanks mainly to wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson’s unbeaten 52-ball 87 (7x4s, 6x6s).
