IPL 2021 – Delhi Capitals vs Chennai Super Kings – 50th Match Prediction

After 12 games, both the Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings have 18 points. They are separated by net run rate and have nine wins each. DC and CSK are almost certain to finish in the top two, giving them two chances to qualify for the IPL Final.

While both teams have qualified for the IPL 2021 Playoffs, neither has confirmed a spot in the top two, so there is still a lot to play for.

For the previous encounter, DC welcomed back Prithvi Shaw, while CSK rested a few players against Rajasthan Royals. Both sides may make additional lineup changes for this match, which is unknown at the time of analysis. On the 4th of October 2021, the match will be held at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai.

Delhi Capitals vs Chennai Super Kings Team Previews

Delhi Capitals (Match Odds – 2.00)

The Delhi Capitals would have gained a lot of confidence from a hard-fought victory over the Mumbai Indians in a low-scoring contest. Axar Patel and Avesh Khan’s outstanding bowling performances laid the basis for the triumph, with Shreyas Iyer driving the chase with the bat.

In the previous encounter, DC made a significant adjustment by abandoning its Lalit Yadav experiment. Prithvi Shaw has returned to the team, and Steve Smith has retained his top-order spot, giving DC a total of six good batsmen and one all-rounder (Axar Patel) to provide some depth.

So far, the batting surface in Dubai has been superior to that in Sharjah and Abu Dhabi. In this match against a squad that he enjoys batting against, Shikhar Dhawan might be the player to back.

DC’s bowling attack boasts a lot of pace, which could aid them against CSK’s batting lineup.

Delhi Capitals Squad

Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Steven Smith, Rishabh Pant(w/c), Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, Shimron Hetmyer, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kagiso Rabada, Avesh Khan, Anrich Nortje, Sam Billings, Marcus Stoinis, Umesh Yadav, Lukman Meriwala, Tom Curran, Ben Dwarshuis, Praveen Dubey, Vishnu Vinod, Kulwant Khejroliya, Lalit Yadav, Ripal Patel, Ishant Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Amit Mishra

Predicted XI: Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Steve Smith, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Shimron Hetmyer, Axar Patel, R Ashwin, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Avesh Khan

Chennai Super Kings (Match Odds – 1.80)

Despite batting excellently, CSK lost the match to Rajasthan Royals. Ruturaj Gaikwad is on a roll and is now the tournament’s leading run-scorer with over 500 runs.

In fact, Ruturaj Gaikwad has most likely been masking some of the CSK batting lineup’s flaws. Faf du Plessis isn’t playing his best cricket, Suresh Raina is struggling, and Moeen Ali has yet to produce a huge score. CSK has gained an advantage over the other teams by attacking in the middle overs, with Moeen Ali and Ambati Rayadu attacking the bowlers.

In the previous match, CSK decided to use Sam Curran and KM Asif in the bowling department. Having Dwayne Bravo and Deepak Chahar in the lineup is a significant change, and CSK will be much stronger if those two make a comeback.

Pitch and Weather Conditions

The outfield at Dubai International Cricket Stadium is large, but the wicket is flat, allowing batsmen to score a lot of runs. At this location, we’ve seen big scores and chases. Fast bowlers face difficult conditions at this venue and must rely heavily on their variations to succeed. Spinners have taken advantage of the conditions and picked up a number of wickets.

It will be hot and humid in Dubai on October 4, and we anticipate a flat surface, as seen in previous games. The ball is expected to land nicely on the bat. Bowlers are likely to struggle in these conditions, and the team batting first would need 180 runs to feel safe.

Winning the toss and bowling first would be the obvious choice, as batting should be easier with a little dew around under lights.
