In the 55th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will welcome Delhi Capitals (DC) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai tonight i.e. Wednesday, May 10 at 7:30 PM IST.
The four-time IPL champions have won six of their 11 matches this season and are currently second in the points chart. The team now has 13 points and a net run rate of +0.409. CSK will be buoyed by their six-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians (MI). MS Dhoni‘s team restricted Rohit Sharma‘s side to 139 in 20 overs and reached the same in 17.4 overs. This shows the excellence of their batting. Everyone from Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad to Shivam Dube and MS Dhoni appears to be in top gear. Even with the ball, the return of Deepak Chahar has improved their bowling unit. Matheesha Pathirana performed brilliantly against MI and will seek to replicate that performance tonight. With two of their next three games at home, CSK will head into their upcoming matches with full confidence.
Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, have won four of their ten matches this season and are currently ranked last in the points table with eight points and a net run rate of -0.529. Nonetheless, the team is riding high after an incredible home triumph over Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). The team’s middle order is still a concern, but openers David Warner and Phillip Salt have put on some spectacular performances. Axar Patel is also in top form with both bat and ball. Kuldeep Yadav has lately lost his touch with the ball, but the seamers are in excellent form, which has contributed to the team’s victory.
Head-to-head:
CSK have a massive upper hand against DC in the head-to-head competition. The two sides squared off on 27 occasions, Chennai won 17 matches while Delhi emerged victorious on 10 instances.
In the latest outing between the two franchises, which took place last year, CSK won the fixture by 91 runs.
