Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
Contents
Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi produces the pitches that naturally assist spin bowlers. However, short boundaries negate that threat to a good extent. The average first innings score here since IPL 2017 reads 176. The number stands at 168 after six games this season.
Delhi’s weather is expected to be typically hot during this time of the year. The temperature is likely to be around 40°C on Saturday afternoon.
DC vs CSK – Match Predictions
Chennai Super Kings have defeated Delhi Capitals in all three previous encounters. CSK have a significantly better and in-form side than DC. Delhi Capitals have a decent bowling attack but their batters will have a huge task of tackling CSK spinners.
Prediction 1
Chennai to hit most sixes
4/5 (1.80)
Prediction 2
Nortje to be Delhi's Top Bowler
5/2 (3.50)
Probable 6s
Chennai Super Kings possess the likes of Devon Conway, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shivam Dube and MS Dhoni. Delhi Capitals will rely on David Warner and Axar Patel. CSK have struck 95 sixes from 12 innings this season compared to just 61 from 13 innings by DC.
Our prediction: Chennai Super Kings to hit most sixes in the match at 4/5 (1.80).
Probable Wickets
Anrich Nortje has taken nine wickets in the competition and has the ability to trouble CSK batters. Bet on Nortje to be DC’s top wicket-taker at 5/2 (3.50). Matheesha Pathirana has 13 wickets from nine games this season at 7.80 rpo. Back him to be the top bowler for Chennai Super Kings at 11/4 (3.75).
Our prediction: Anrich Nortje to be Delhi Capitals’ highest wicket-taker at 5/2 (3.50).
Man of the Match
Devon Conway has been in superb form, scoring 498 runs this season at 50 average and 135 strike rate. Back him to be the player of the match at 7/1 (8.00). Other top betting options include Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel.
Our prediction: Devon Conway to be the Man of the Match at 7/1 (8.00).
DC vs CSK Preview
It’s a do or die situation for Chennai Super Kings while Delhi Capitals are looking to spoil the party. Let’s take a look at two sides ahead of their encounter on Saturday.
Delhi Capitals
Delhi Capitals’ hopes of making it to the playoffs ended some time back and now they are a big threat. They spoiled the Punjab Kings party last game, beating them by 15 runs.
They brought back Prithvi Shaw in the previous game and he scored a superb fifty. Mitchell Marsh’s fitness remains uncertain so DC could field the same playing XI.
Predicted XI: David Warner (c), Prithvi Shaw, Phil Salt (wk), Rilee Rossouw, Axar Patel, Yash Dhull, Aman Khan, Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje, Khaleel Ahmed, Ishant Sharma
Chennai Super Kings
The equation is pretty simple for CSK. Win the match and secure a playoffs spot. They have 15 points with a net run-rate of 0.381. CSK could even finish in the top two if LSG loses their game or win it by a small margin.
Ben Stokes is unlikely to play this game due to the team composition. Maheesh Theekshana has been backed ahead of Mitchell Santner despite poor returns. Whether they stick to it or not remains to be seen.
Predicted XI: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane, Shivam Dube, Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (c/wk), Maheesh Theekshana, Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande, Matheesha Pathirana
