Delhi Capitals (DC) vs Chennai Super Kings (CSK) IPL 2026 Live Cricket Score Updates: Sameer Rizvi and Tristan Stubbs take Delhi Capitals to 155/7 from 20 overs. Earlier, Delhi Capitals skipper Axar Patel won the toss and opted to bat first against Ruturaj Gaikwad’s Chennai Super Kings. Both sides are looking to stay within touching distance of the top five with a win in this match, with CSK and DC sitting on eight points, trailing four teams above them until second by four points. That margin will be reduced to two for the side that wins today and will remain an uncomfortable four for the losers
DC have received a major boost in the form of Lungi Ngidi who is back to full fitness after a sustaining a neck injury from a rather sickening fall while fielding in DC’s match against Punjab Kings. Meanwhile, CSK have suffered from a lack of continuity in their squad.
Players have been benched despite match-winning performances in games. Akeal Hosein bowled them to victory with a spell of 4/17 against MI, but was left out of the reverse fixture just a few days later. Similarly, Sarfaraz Khan has not always found his name in the team sheet despite playing some short but impactful knocks
