Chennai Super Kings
Csk are coming into this contest after suffering a harsh loss against Rajasthan Royals in their last match. As a result, they would like to get a win over Delhi who is placed second and confirm their spot in the top two of the table. It will be interesting to watch Chennai’s lineup today because they might tinker with their bowling lineup.
Prediction for the IPL 2021 Match between Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals
Csk won’t be concerned with their defeat in the last game because they batted very well and lost to a better side. Therefore one can expect Chennai to get back to winning ways against a Delhi side that will miss the services of Stoinis. Because the all rounder’s presence in the lineup helps Delhi become flexible with their batting order.
