IPL 2022 | Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals - Preview, head to head, where to watch, and betting tips
Chennai Super Kings will square off against Delhi Capitals in match 55 of the IPL 2022 at Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai on May 8. CSK lost their last game against Royal Challengers Bangalore by 13 runs while DC registered a win against Sunrisers Hyderabad by 21 runs in their recent game.
Delhi Capitals will play against Chennai Super Kings with an aim to win their game and strengthen their chances of advancing to the playoffs. Chennai Super Kings’ chances of making it to the playoffs are rare and they can test their bench strength in the remaining games.
For DC, their opening pair David Warner and Prithvi Shaw are in terrific form. Rovman Powell was brilliant in the last game and with the kind of hitting ability, he showed he can be a superb finisher in the league. Anrich Nortje has regained his rhythm in the last match and the team looks fine. The only issue team can face is due to the strange bowling rotations implemented by captain Rishabh Pant.
CSK have struggled throughout the season. Rutuaj Gaikwad has been playing good in the last couple of games but he hasn’t been as good as he was last season. Batting wasn’t much issue for CSK this season as different players performed in different games. The lack of wicket-taking options in the squad and the absence of Deepak Chahar has led to a poor season for them.
