Series: Indian Premier League 2023
Delhi Capitals vs Chennai Super Kings, 67th Match 20th May 3.30 PM IST
Venue: Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi
CSK are one win away from making it to the playoffs. They will be facing the DC challenge in Delhi in their last match of the league stage. Delhi Capitals were exceptional in their
last match at Dharamsala where the top 3 batters went berserk to take the DC total to 213 batting first.
Rossouw was in phenomenal touch and the openers also looked in brilliant form. There have been some high scoring games at Kotla where teams batting second have won 4 of the 6 matches.
While DC failed to chase down a 168-run target in their last match here, their recent win must have boosted their confidence.
A good batting deck will be good news for Chennai as well. The likes of Shivam Dube, Conway, and Gaikwad will love to play their strokes when the ball comes on to the bat easily.
It won’t be an easy outing for CSK given the strength of the opposition’s bowling attack. Axar Patel, Ishant Sharma, and Khaleel Ahmed can all make a big impact and deliver breakthroughs.
Delhi Capitals Preview
Delhi Capitals were eliminated from the race to playoffs recently. They were inconsistent with the bat as both David Warner and Prithvi Shaw failed to consistently deliver a solid start this season.
Warner has yet again shown how brilliant he is as a captain. Only if he could also back it up with the destructive power he’s known for, it would have been a different picture today.
Chennai Super Kings Preview
Chennai Super Kings will not be happy with their recent loss at home against KKR. The batters failed to put up a decent total on a Chepauk pitch that was quite different from other days.
Deepak Chahar is in great form and is consistently delivering for CSK at the moment.
MS Dhoni needs a strong plan to counter the DC batting. Jadeja would be the key bowler in the middle overs against the likes of Rossouw.
Pitch Report
Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi formerly known as Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium will host the last home game for Delhi Capitals this year. The average 1st innings score on this ground in all the IPL matches is 166 runs,
but this year the batting has been a lot better on this ground. We reckon something over 185-190 runs would be a match-winning score at this venue.
key players DC : Prithvi Shaw, Rilee Rossouw, Axar Patel,Ishant Sharma,
