Posted on 10th May 2023 by rohit kumar

Delhi Capitals will clash with Chennai Super Kings in the 55th match of IPL 2023 at the M Chidambaram ground. Under the leadership of David Warner, the Delhi team is back on the winning track. In the last match, Delhi defeated RCB by 7 wickets. At the same time, CSK was also overshadowed by the five-time champion Mumbai Indians.

 

Victory is necessary for Delhi

Delhi Capitals will have to win against Chennai at all costs to keep their hopes of reaching the playoffs alive. Delhi has seen defeat in 6 out of 10 matches played so far in IPL 2023, while the team has won only in 4 matches. In batting, Phil Salt's bat has wreaked havoc in the last two matches, while Mitchell Marsh has also returned to form.

 

Mahi's Yellow Army in form

On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings have also been in excellent form this season. CSK defeated Mumbai Indians in the last match. The performance of the team's batsmen has been excellent this season. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway have been successful in giving a strong start to the team, while Shivam Dubey and Rahane have looted a lot with their stormy batting.

 

Spinners dominate in Chepauk

Spinners dominate the home ground of Chennai. However, this season the pitch has also seemed to favor the batsmen, and scores of 200 plus have been scored on the Chepauk ground. In the second innings, the pitch is slower than in the first innings, due to which winning the toss and batting first is more beneficial.

 

What do the figures say?

In the history of IPL, a total of 127 matches have been played at M Chidambaram's ground so far, out of which the team batting first has tasted victory in 67 matches. At the same time, the chasing team has hit the ground in 58 matches. However, this season the Chepauk pitch has been behaving a bit differently, in such a situation, an exciting battle can be seen between Delhi and Chennai.
