Albie Morkel and Shadab Jakati took 2 wickets each for CSK. In reply, Michael Hussey (79 runs off 55 balls) and Suresh Raina (61 runs off 51 balls) blasted off as they helped CSK cruise to 149/2 in 18.4 overs. Michael Hussey was awarded the Man of the Match for his awesome knock.

Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Daredevils are both regarded as strong contenders of IPL T20 season 2 cup.

Subramaniam Badrinath (45 off 34 balls), Suresh Raina (32 off 21 balls) and Matthew Hayden (30 off 19 balls) made the most significant contributions with the bat for Chennai Super Kings. Dirk Nannes, Ashish Nehra and Rajat Bhatia were brilliant with the ball for the Delhi Daredevils with bowling figures of 3/27, 3/27 and 2/17 respectively. Delhi Daredevils could not keep up with the reqd. RR as they kept on losing frequent wickets and even the two half centuries by IPL debutant David Warner (51 off 40 balls) and Dinesh Karthik (52 off 31 balls) could not save the Delhi Daredevils from defeat. Delhi Daredevils could only score 145/8 in 20 overs.
