Pitch Report

Chasing total will be a lot easier on this pitch as compared to batting first.

CSK Probable Playing 11

DC Probable Playing 11

David Warner, Mandeep Singh, Mitchell Marsh, Rishabh Pant (wk), Lalit Yadav, Rovman Powell, Ripal Patel, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje, Khaleel Ahmed

Star bowler of the match

Kuldeep Yadav has been excellent this season with the ball for Delhi Capitals.

He is the second leading wicket-taker of the season with 18 wickets and he will most likely be the best bowler in today’s match.

Star batsman of the match

David Warner has gained his form back at the right time.

He scored an unbeaten 92 runs knock in the last game and he is expected to give a quick start to DC in this match.

Star Wicketkeeper of the match

Rishabh Pant has played some good knocks this season but he is losing his wicket after a good start.

Pant is excellent with wicket-keeping gloves and he is expected to play a match-winning knock against CSK today.

Star all-rounder of the match

Ravindra Jadeja has been out of touch this season but now he will play without the captaincy burden.

That might help him to improve his performance and he will shine with both bat and ball.

Who will win?

It has been a horrible season for Chennai Super Kings and they are almost out of the playoff race.

They will be hoping to end their campaign on a high.

On the other hand, Delhi Capitals desperately need a win to enter the top 4 on the points table.

They have a good team combination and the batting department is also looking in great touch.

Hence, our prediction for match 55 is that Delhi Capitals will beat Chennai Super Kings.
