Probable 6s

Chennai Super Kings have a batting line-up of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Shivam Dube, Ajinkya Rahane, Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni. Delhi Capitals rely on David Warner, Phil Salt and Mitchell Marsh for the six-hitting. CSK have smashed 93 sixes in 10 innings compared to just 42 by DC.

Our prediction: Chennai Super Kings to hit most sixes in the match at 8/15 (1.53).

Probable Wickets

Khaleel Ahmed has taken six wickets from five games. CSK batters have a weakness against left arm pace and he could make an impact. Back Khaleel to be DC’ top wicket-taker at 3/1 (4.00). Ravindra Jadeja has picked 15 wickets from 11 matches. Bet on him to be the top bowler for CSK at 7/2 (4.50).

Our prediction: Khaleel Ahmed to be Delhi Capitals’ highest wicket-taker at 3/1 (4.00).

Man of the Match

Devon Conway is averaging 57 in the IPL 2023 with 458 runs to his name at a strike rate of 139, including five fifties. Conway remains a top candidate to be the player of the match. Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ravindra Jadeja, Matheesha Pathirana and David Warner are other top betting options.

Our prediction: Devon Conway to be the Man of the Match at 7/1 (8.00).
