THE LOWDOWN
CHENNAI SUPER KINGS
- MS Dhoni tasted defeat for the first time since taking by the CSK captaincy in this past Wednesday as Chennai Super Kings failed to chase down 174 against Royal Challengers Bangalore, ultimately losing by 13 runs.
- Despite their defeat, the return of Moeen Ali to the CSK team following injury was most welcome and the England limited overs all-rounder will be hoping to build on his excellent performance which saw him take the wickets of both RCB openers and score a brisk 34 runs batting at five.
DELHI CAPITALS
- Delhi Capitals once again showed their bounce-back ability and the excellent mental strength among their squad in responding positively to a previous defeat, by beating Sunrisers Hyderabad to take them onto ten points so far this season.
- The Capitals racked up 207/3 against Sunrisers with opener David Warner starring with 92 not out from just 58 balls, underlining the importance of the experienced Australian to this Delhi top order.
THE PREDICTION
This is set to be a battle of the top orders with the in-form opening partnership of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway of Chennai Super Kings set to lock horns with David Warner and co at Delhi Capitals. Although Chennai are coming off the back of a loss, so often we see a team at the 2022 IPL bounce back strongly and MS Dhoni’s experienced leadership here may well prove crucial. Moeen Ali’s return has added vital balance to this Chennai unit with both bat and ball, so it would be a shrewd play to back CSK to narrowly overcome the Capitals in what should be a closely-fought affair.
