To qualify for IPL 2023, Chennai Super Kings will have to beat Delhi Capitals. This match will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Saturday. This match will be played from 3.30 pm.
Talking about the pitch here, the wicket here is considered quite favourable for a spin. The ball usually stays low on the pitch, forcing the batsmen to work harder to score runs. The spinners are also helped a lot by the wicket here.
The distance from the wicket to the boundary in this stadium is about 65 meters around the ground. That’s why we will see high-scoring matches here today. Usually, the team likes to bowl first after winning the toss here.
The Delhi Capitals team is already out of the playoff race and will try to spoil Chennai’s equation by ending this season with a win in the first match of the day on Saturday. Chennai’s team is currently in second place with 15 points from 13 matches, but a defeat against Delhi will dim their chances of reaching the playoffs.
A win in this match will seal Chennai’s place in the playoffs, but whether they will finish second or not will be decided by the match between Lucknow Supergiants and Kolkata Knight Riders. Lucknow also has 15 points, but Chennai’s net run rate is better than LSG’s.
Dhoni, possibly playing his last match in the national capital, will look to make the most of the conditions. Jadeja, Moeen Ali and Mahesh Tikhsna have also made a good impression in the spin department.
Possible Playing XI Of CSK:- Ruturaj Gaikwad, D Conway, Ajinkya Rahane, Shivam Dube, Moeen Ali, Ambati Rayudu, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni, Deepak Chahar, M Theekshana, Tushar Deshpande, M Pathirana
Possible Playing XI Of DC:- DJ Warner, P Shaw, P Salt, M Marsh, Yash Dhull, Axar Patel, Aman Khan, Kuldeep Yadav, Ishant Sharma, A Nortje/R Rossouw, Khaleel Ahmed, Mukesh Kumar
