Delhi Capitals

In terms of the teams, with no news on the condition of injured all-rounder Marcus Stoinis, the Delhi Capitals will stay with their winning combination from the last encounter. Steve Smith came in for his countryman, who had hurt his hamstring in the opening match of the UAE leg and will keep his position. As Pant and co. aim for a win that will keep them in the top two positions at the end of the league phase, the rest of the lineup, as well as the strong bowling department, will remain unchanged.

Chennai Super Kings

The Super Kings had previously lost to the Rajasthan Royals despite Ruturaj Gaikwad’s century. The Capitals, on the other hand, are coming off a four-wicket win against the Mumbai Indians in Sharjah. Rishabh Pant and his teammates will also be aiming for their tenth win of the season. The Super Kings, on the other hand, are leading the points table with a strong net run rate. With another win, they will qualify for Qualifier 1 regardless of the outcome of their final two IPL matchups. When the Capitals and the Chennai Super Kings played in India earlier this year, DC came out on top.
