IPL 2018: CSK have beaten DD 11 times; lost 5 games

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) suffered their first major thrashing of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018 on Saturday, April 28, when they were defeated by a struggling Mumbai Indians (MI) by 8 wickets. Delhi Dardevils (DD), on the other hand, came out with flying colours against their last match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) posting the highest score of 219 in the tournament and winning the game by 55 runs.

MS Dhoni’s men will meet Shreyas Iyer’s team next in Maharashtra Cricket Association, Pune, in what will be the last game of April. Can DD, who are languishing at the bottom of the points table with just 4 points from 7 games, turn the tables against CSK, who have 10 points from as many games?
