Today Match Prediction for CSK vs DC

The fans were left disappointed after witnessing Chennai Super Kings’ horrendous performance last year. CSK couldn’t live up to the expectations as they failed to qualify for the playoffs for the first time in IPL history. 

Some notable inclusions and the return of Suresh Raina would give them a lot of confidence this year. However, given that no team is playing any game at their home ground, CSK would have to rethink their strategies and come up with different combinations. 

There might be a chance that Faf du Plessis won’t start in the eleven. He might make way for the Robin Uthappa. Ruturaj Gaikwad, on the other hand, is likely to be the other opener. A lot depends on how Suresh Raina fares this year. If he bats and gives a few match-winning performances with the bat, then CSK does have a real chance of qualifying. 

Chennai Super Kings’ biggest strength is their lengthy batting line up. MS Dhoni, Ambati Rayudu, Sam Curran and Ravindra Jadeja are likely to bolster the middle order. Unfortunately, Lungi Ngidi is ruled out of the first game as he has been undergoing seven-day quarantine. 

Under such circumstances, Shardul Tharul and Deepak Chahar will have the onus to bowl well in the powerplay and death overs. Given that the pitch offers a good amount of pace and bounce off the surface, Ngidi’s absence might hurt them in CSK’s opening game. 

Days before the start of IPL, the Delhi Capitals were dealt with a big blow as their skipper Shreyas Iyer got ruled out of the tournament due to injury. Rishabh Pant has been appointed as the new skipper of the side. 

Rishabh Pant has been in the form of his life. While his form with the bat should be a big boost for the side, it remains to be seen how he lead the team this year. The openers in Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw have been in great form. They would be hoping to give powerful starts in the coming games.

Delhi Capitals won’t take the field with their best bowling attack on S as both Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje will be missing the opening game due to quarantine rules. This would mean that Chris Woakes is likely to make his debut for DC against CSK. Besides, Ishant Sharma has recovered fully and would be leading the fast-bowling unit in the first game.
