Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals: Prediction for match of the IPL

DC have yet to win two consecutive games in IPL 2022. CSK has won two out of three games at DY Patil Stadium. DC's bowling attack is better than CSK's and their leading batsmen are also in good shape.

Chennai Super Kings

CSK will be happy to play with DC at DY Patil Stadium. It has won two of the three games it has played at this venue and will at least have some fond memories of it. However, the team still has a lot of work to do before they can be considered a top T20 team again.

We like the fact that both Devon Conway and Moeen Ali are back in the lineup for CSK. That could work well against the heavy left arm bowling lineup that DC has. Conway has back-to-back fifties to his name and could be a hitter to back up in this match.

Robin Uthappa, Amabati Rayadu and Ravindra Jadeja will form the middle tier, with Doni and Pretorius coming at the end to wrap up. We could see some changes and bring Dwayne Bravo back or even rest Jadeja if he has a slight wobble from the injury he picked up in the previous game.

CSK's punching power is strong, but it takes almost everything to work as they end up lacking in explosiveness.

The bowling attack for CSK was also a big disappointment. Not having Deepak Chahar available is a major blow as Mukesh Chaudhary or SIMranjeet Singh are nowhere near a capable replacement. Jadeja also had a rough time with the ball in IPL 2022 and Pretorius is pretty hittable during death crossings as well.

That leaves Moeen Ali and M Theekshana to carry the bowling lineup for CSK. There isn't too much help for the spinners at DY Patil Stadium and that might make life a bit difficult for the CSK spinners.

Delhi Capitals

DC played what Pant described as a near perfect play with the racquet in their previous match. David Warner continued his incredible form and showed just how great he was for DC when he wasn't out at 92, while Rovman Powell also appeared to be on form in his last few games.

Both players pushed DC past 200 and helped them to a crucial win.

However, there are some problems in the batting lineup.

DC will likely be without Prithvi Shaw and Axar Patel in this next match as well. Mandeep Singh looked lost during the few deliveries he has faced and Axar Patel has added much-needed depth to the line-up. Without them, the opening partnership is vulnerable and there is an all-rounder who can bail out DC if needed.

Mitchell Marsh has shown promise but struggled, and Pant has yet to record a big inning. Lalit Yadav and Ripal Patel won't give CSK nightmares and so DC's percussion is certainly one that can collapse with a couple of early wickets.

The bowling attack was realigned in DC's previous game. They brought back Khaleel Ahmed and Anrich Nortje and also relied on Mitchell Marsh to throw his full quota of overs. Khaleel was exceptional and Nortje breathed fire but Shardul Thakur, Mitchell Marsh and Kuldeep Yadav all looked pretty beatable.

Maybe Rishab Pant should try and give Rovman Powell some bowling too.

DC's bowling lineup could struggle if they don't get the early wickets. We saw how badly they were put to the sword by Markram and Pooran in the previous game and Pant struggled to hide his three weak bowlers towards the end. More today ipl match betting can be obtained from the link provided.
