CSK’s fans will be happy with their team’s win against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last game. However, the team has to work hard to secure a berth in the playoffs this season. Today, they will take on one of the best teams of this season, the Delhi Capitals. Dhoni’s men look pale compared to Delhi’s squad.
All that Chennai was lacking in the games it lost was the intent. Finally, they showed that intent against Sunrisers in the last game. If they continue to show it in this match as well, then CSK will be a tough nut to crack. Sam Curran opening the innings worked well in the last game. Thus, they will go with the same strategy this time as well. If Watson and Rayudu manage to give stability in the middle overs, then the situation will be in the hand of CSK. The bowling of CSK is pretty good, to be honest.
On the other hand, Delhi is getting major blows in the form of injuries. Already, Rishab Pant missed the last two games due to an injury. Captain Shreyas Iyer may miss today’s game due to a shoulder injury. If that happens, Delhi becomes a bit weak. Their other batsmen need to take the responsibility of scoring good runs. Their bowling attack is the best in the tournament with the likes of Rabada, Nortje and Ashwin. The match begins at 07.30 PM IST. Sharjah will be hosting the game.
