Delhi Capitals scored 156 against Chennai Super Kings in the 48th match of IPL 2026. This match took place in Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. During the toss, Delhi skipper Axar Patel had opted to bat first. However, that decision proved costly for his team, because not only did his players fail to score even 20 runs each, Axar himself couldn't do well either, although he had foreseen a conducive wicket for batting.

None of Delhi's top order batters managed to score even 20 runs. Axar Patel played just 6 balls and scored only 2. Half of the team was out even before scoring 69 runs. Seventh-place Samir Rizvi then scored an unbeaten 40 off 24 balls, including four fours. Meanwhile, Ashutosh Sharma steadied the team with a 14 off 5 balls. Thanks to these two, Delhi Capitals were able to reach 150.

Pathum Nissanka and KL Rahul gave Delhi Capitals a quick start, but the pair couldn't stay at the crease for long. Nissanka was dismissed in the fourth over, and KL Rahul was also dismissed in the sixth. Nitish Rana then departed for 15, while Karun Nair departed for 13. Axar Patel also departed for 2. The situation was such that half of the Delhi Capitals team was out at 69 runs.

After this, a great partnership was formed between Tristan Stubbs and Sameer Rizvi, which took the team past 100 runs and led them towards a respectable score. Tristan Stubbs was out after scoring 38 runs. In the end, Sameer Rizvi and Ashutosh Sharma took the team to 155 runs. Rizvi played an unbeaten inning of 40 runs in 24 balls with the help of 4 sixes, while Ashutosh Sharma scored 14 runs in 5 balls with the help of 2 sixes.

For Chennai Super Kings, Noor Ahmed took 2 wickets for 22 runs in 3 overs. Apart from this, Akil Hussain, Mukesh Choudhary, Gurjapneet Singh and Jamie Overton got 1 wicket each.
