Match Preview
The second encounter on Sunday evening between Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals will be a kind of a party spoiler as far as CSK is concerned.
This season has been a forgettable season for Chennai as they have suffered 8 reverses so far which have taken them out from the race of play-offs.
On the other hand, Delhi have won 5 out of their 10 games so far which means they are still clinging with the hope of qualifying for play-offs.
Delhi’s losses have been also quite close while looking at their net run rate of +0.641.
It was quite a challenge for Delhi to adjust their combination because of the Covid bubble and player injuries but still they have managed to do well as compared to Chennai.
Team news
Chennai would be majorly missing Deepak Chahar in this season and their overall performance has been below par.
Chennai’s young and inexperienced bowling unit has been one of the reasons why CSK could not do well in this season.
On the batting front, only recently Conway and Gaikwad have put up a charge.
Jadeja’s strike rate this season has been his lowest since 2015 which shows a clear dip in his form.
Additionally, Dwayne Bravo’s recent injury will further add fuel to the fire of Chennai’s dismal show in this season.
Delhi’s Prithvi Shaw missed the last game so his availability will be subject to with his health getting better.
As far as the batting is concerned for Capitals, their middle order has put up a stable show so far.
Rovman Powell has gained back his lost form, indicating a healthy sign for Delhi’s future in the tournament.
