The Delhi Capitals were the first side to get knocked out but they now have a chance of spoiling Chennai’s party, who are in contention for a top-two finish without having qualified yet. A win for Chennai takes them through and could put them in the top two while defeat leaves them waiting on other results. The Capitals cap a season to forget, and their performance at home in particular has been disappointing, despite their spinners doing a fine job all season.

DC vs CSK Pitch Report

DC vs CSK Key Players

Shivam Dube

Shivam Dube has been the middle overs enforcer in the Chennai batting line-up. His big hitting has been very handy against spin and with small boundaries, and NRR a factor, he will have a huge role to play in the upcoming game if CSK are to make it to the next stage.

Mitchell Marsh

Mitchell Marsh single-handedly fought his way to keep DC in the game against the Sunrisers with both bat and ball. He, along with Axar Patel have shouldered the all-round duties well, and with the tournament heading into a do or die stage for them, Marsh will have to repeat his heroics a few more times.

DC vs CSK Match Tips

The Chennai Super Kings need a win here but with Delhi likely to play with a lot more freedom and given Chennai’s batting form in the last few games, Delhi could go out on a high here.
