Team News

Out of reckoning for the playoffs, Delhi Daredevils will look to give more opportunities and exposure to youngsters in their squad. They rested Glenn Maxwell, Liam Plunkett and Shahbaz Nadeem in the last game against the Royal Challengers Bangalore while bringing in debutants Sandeep Lamichhane, Junior Dala and Abhishek Sharma. While Dala was on the expensive side, Lamichhane (the second youngest player from abroad to make an IPL debut) and Abhishek were impressive with the ball and bat respectively. The Daredevils are expected to field the same eleven in this match.

Key Players

Rishabh Pant is leading the IPL 2018 runs charts and has the orange cap in his possession. He hit a fifty last time and had even top-scored for his side with 79 runs in the reverse fixture. While he is going to be the key man for the Daredevils, there will also be high expectations from skipper Shreyas Iyer and Prithvi Shaw, both of whom have looked in good form. Trent Boult is amongst the season's leading wicket-takers with 15 wickets and he will be the biggest threat for CSK with the new ball. Amit Mishra who was the pick of the bowlers at Pune will be the team's next best option. Sandeep Lamichhane impressed in his debut game against the RCB and he is another bowler to watch out for.

Recent Form

Having been thrown out of contention for the playoffs, Delhi Daredevils now have nothing to play for but pride. The team is languishing at the bottom of the league standings with just three wins and nine defeats from twelve matches. The Daredevils are coming into this match having lost four of their last five matches, including the last three in a row. While they have been mighty impressive with the bat, their bowling is what has let them down in this year's IPL.

CSK Team News & Playing 11

Team News

Chennai Super Kings dropped leg-spinner Karn Sharma for pace bowler Deepak Chahar in their last game against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Chahar, who returned from injury, put up an impressive bowling performance at Pune and skipper Dhoni will probably retain him. So no changes are expected in their side for this upcoming tie against the Delhi Daredevils.

Key Players

Ambati Rayudu is featuring on the list of leading run-scorers in IPL 2018. The opening batsman has a strike rate of above 150 and is coming on the back of an unbeaten 62-ball hundred against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Shane Watson too smashed a fifty in that game and had scored 78 in the reverse encounter at Pune. Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni have also made valuable contributions with the bat this season. CSK's new-ball attack has relied mainly on Deepak Chahar who has managed to keep things tight during the powerplays while Dwayne Bravo has been the go-to man at the death. Shardul Thakur has taken the most wickets for the Chennai Super Kings and the onus will be on him to provide the early breakthroughs.

Recent Form

Chennai Super Kings have joined Sunrisers Hyderabad in the playoffs. They are currently placed second in the IPL 2018 standings with eight wins and four losses from twelve league fixtures. After facing a four-wicket defeat against the Rajasthan Royals at Jaipur, CSK bounced back with a convincing eight-wicket win over the table toppers Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last match. One more win will boost their chances of finishing in the top two at the end of the league stage.

DC vs CSK Betting Odds

Chennai Super Kings have been one of the more consistent teams in this year's Indian Premier League and they begin as firm favorites amongst the bookmakers to win this match at odds of 1.61 on Betway, 1.66 on Bet365 and 1.71 on Betfair. Delhi Daredevils have been equally sloppy this season and they only have their insipid bowling to blame for their early exit from the tournament. The hosts are the underdogs for this game and are being offered at odds of 2.36 on Betfair and 2.20 each on Betway and Bet365.

🏆 DC vs CSK Prediction

This has been yet another forgetful IPL season for the Delhi Daredevils. They got off to a really bad start with just one win from their first six matches and since then, they have found it extremely difficult to bring themselves back into the tournament. Having been ousted from the race for the playoffs, the Daredevils have started to include some fresh faces in their line-up which means that there is now going to be plenty of inexperience in their side.

The Daredevils have lost eight of their past nine matches against the CSK and have lost four out of five matches against them at the Feroz Shah Kotla. They have lost their last two matches at home and they also seem to be down on confidence after facing three consecutive defeats. Chennai Super Kings have clearly been the superior side this season and so we predict them to win this match.

Final Verdict: Back Chennai Super Kings to beat Delhi Daredevils at 1.61 on Betway, 1.66 on Bet365 and 1.71 on Betfair.
