CSK vs DC Score, Match 48 of IPL 2026

FOUR! T Natarajan to Kartik Sharma. Back of a length, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, well timed past long on for 4 runs. A comfortable chase for the Chennai Super Kings as they win inside 18 overs with eight wickets in hand. It was a slow and steady start in the powerplay as they lost their skipper cheaply. Urvil Patel looked good for his brief stay, but the partnership between Sanju Samson and Kartik Sharma was the mainstay of the chase. Samson took the responsibility and played another magnificent match-winning knock this season, well supported by Sharma who flourished late in their unbroken century partnership. Delhi bowlers didn't have enough runs on the board to compete against some quality batting. Sanju Samson is the Player of the Match for his unbeaten 87 off 52 balls.
