Analysis
The return of Prithvi Shaw and Rilee Rossouw into some resemblance of form is a good sign for Delhi Capitals as they look to end their IPL season on a high note. The captain David Warner of DC has been quite consistent all tournament with the bat and he will be very interested in spoiling the CSK party on May 20. In the bowling department, Kuldeep Yadav has held the Delhi side together with regular wickets all IPL, along with his fellow left-arm spinner Axar Patel, in particular.
Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad have put together decent partnerships in recent matches at the top of the order for CSK, without getting big scores individually. The middle order of Chennai Super Kings haven’t had fifty-plus totals in the last few games, but still, the likes of Shivam Dube and Ajinkya Rahane are amongst the runs at a quality strike rate. As far as the Super Kings bowling attack goes, Maheesh Theekshana and Matheesha Pathirana have been quite consistent, while the return of Deepak Chahar amongst the wickets is key for the side as they look forward to securing their playoff spot and going further in the IPL this season.
