Bravo’s triple strike and Watson’s initial onslaught do it for Dhoni’s men

A Capital Show From Super Kings

More often than not, the side that bounces back in the closing overs leading to the innings break wins in a T20 contest. And who knows the importance of seizing that timely, psychological edge better than M.S. Dhoni and his gallant men.

Effectively, Tuesday’s battle was won and lost when Chennai Super Kings stuck four times — thrice by Dwayne Bravo — between the 16th and 18th overs. This led to Delhi Capitals tumbling from a healthy 120 for two after 15.2 overs to a grossly inadequate 147 for six in 20!

The host was right in believing the target was around 15-20 runs short of what it sought to set. Having won half the battle, Chennai went on to put the finishing touches with six wickets and two deliveries to spare.

With it, CSK gave its huge fan-presence at the Kotla just what it had come for.

The early fall of Ambati Rayudu did not hurt Chennai as Shane Watson and Suresh Raina counter-attacked in style.

The first 50 came in the fifth over — with the PowerPlay producing 58 runs — as the two found the ropes almost at will.

By the time leg-spinner Amit Mishra managed to get rid of Watson and Raina by the 11th over, the match was already over as a contest.
