IPL 2026: Overton Picks 4-18 As CSK Beat DC By 23 Runs, Get First Win Of The Season
Chennai Super Kings: Seam-bowling all-rounder Jamie Overton headlined a dominant bowling performance by picking 4-18 as Chennai Super Kings secured a 23-run victory over Delhi Capitals to get their first win of IPL 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday.
Overton’s clinical spell - the best figures of the ongoing season so far - stifled DC’s chase after their openers, Pathum Nissanka and KL Rahul, had blazed past the 50-run mark in just the fourth over. The momentum shifted decisively when CSK struck thrice in three overs, leaving the visitors' middle order in disarray.
Despite a fighting 60 off 38 balls from Tristan Stubbs, DC fell well short of the target and were bowled out for 189 in 20 overs, with CSK’s fielding also backing up the bowlers well. Apart from Overton’s hard lengths, debutant Gurjapneet Singh’s disciplined lines caused constant trouble, while Anshul Kamboj was at his accurate best to pick 3-35.
