IPL 2018, CSK vs DD: 5 Talking Points

Shane Watson slammed 78 after getting a reprieve off his first ball

#3 Glenn Maxwell's continued low run of scores

Yet another low score from Glenn Maxwell hurt Delhi when they wanted a crucial win

Delhi were in desperate need of their middle-order big-hitter Glenn Maxwell to finally come good following a scratchy run of form so far. Having thrown away numerous starts in the tournament, Maxwell fell cheaply yet again when he was bowled for 6 while slogging.

With the Chennai spinners building pressure through dot balls in the middle-overs, Maxwell failed to deliver when his side needed him most.

Delhi will hope that he can finally deliver the goods since they now find themselves in a tricky situation where they cannot afford even a single loss in their remaining matches.
