After two back-to-back losses against Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Capitals bagged their first win of the season against CSK. They posted a daunting total of 191 and their bowlers backed up their batters with a brilliant bowling display restricting the CSK batters from chasing down the target.

With a total of two wins to their name in as many matches, KKR has a total of four points and a net run rate of +1.047 to their name.
