The Delhi Capitals will meet the five-time champion Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at home on Tuesday, May 5, following their victory against the Rajasthan Royals in an away game. Axar Patel led DC to a convincing seven-wicket victory over Rajasthan Royals, ending their three-match losing run. The Capitals demonstrated their batting prowess by chasing a formidable 226 and coming home with five balls remaining. KL Rahul and Nitish Rana have established a steady rhythm in the top order.
The team has been further strengthened by the return of Pathum Nissanka, a Sri Lankan opener who made his maiden IPL fifty. With four victories and five defeats thus far, CSK’s campaign has been uneven. But after defeating the Mumbai Indians by eight wickets and chasing down 160 in only 18.1 overs, the Men in Yellow entered the game with a lot of energy.

DC vs CSK Pitch Report

However, the most recent match was an anomaly as Royal Challengers Bengaluru chased DC down in just 6.3 overs after DC collapsed for 75. Anything above 200 should be a competitive total with short boundaries aiding batters.
