Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals Betting Tips

A Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway partnership will be the talk of the town again, but be sure that Tushar Deshpande will be snatching back his purple cap again on Wednesday. There is definitely another masterclass in slinky bowling from Pathirana, while for Delhi, Mitchell Marsh will be at the thick of the things. With so many storylines to be explored, the CSK vs DC game provides a very good opportunity for the fans to indulge in oneupmanship.

Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals Match Toss Prediction

The MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai has hosted a total of 24 IPL matches since 2018, in which batting first teams have won 12 and lost 12 games each. But captains have opted to bowl first more often, having done that a staggering 16 times. The average first innings score at the venue has been 157, but there is only a winning chance if you score more than 172 runs.

Weather Report

Being a coastal region, Chennai always offers a very difficult climate for players during the summertime, but with rain being predicted, swing bowlers will have a say in the game. As a matter of fact, there’s an 11% chance of rain during the match, with the humidity hovering around 38%.

Delhi Capitals Team Form

After going winless for five consecutive games in the beginning, Delhi Capitals have secured four wins in five games and that has put them in a favourable position. But for them to have a crack at the playoffs, things need to be the way it has been for a while, and hence, a win against Chennai Super Kings at the Chepauk is non-negotiable.

Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals Head-To-Head

This is one of the most one-sided IPL rivalries ever, with Chennai Super Kings winning 17 times against Delhi Capitals and losing only 10 games. This is going to be the first fixture between both sides this season, with Delhi slated to host the reverse fixture later next week.

Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals Betting Odds

CSK to score over 51.5 runs in the powerplay @ 1.84 (Melbet)

I would blindly go with this market, for Chennai Super Kings are the best powerplay side in the IPL, having scored at a run-rate of 9.5. Their ability is understandable from the fact that they have an average runs per wicket of 81.3 - easily the best in the league. With so many things going their way, it would be hard not to bet on them.

Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals Best Batters

Devon Conway to be CSK’s best batter (Melbet)

Devon Conway has been excellent for CSK this season, having scored 458 runs at an average of 57.25 and a strike rate of 139.2. That is impeccable from every standard. With balls per dismissal being routed at 41.1, there is no way, we are making the best deal out of it if you bet on Devon Conway to be the best batter for CSK.

Warner to be DC’s best batter (Melbet)

David Warner’s run-scoring tempo has slowed down a little bit, but there’s no outright contender who could baffle him out. He already has 330 runs with four half-centuries already, and his balls per dismissal ratio of 27.4 makes it stand out from the lot. Then backing him to be the top scorer is the most prudent option available.

Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals Best Bowlers

Deshpande to be CSK’s best bowler (Melbet)

Despite giving away runs 10.3 economies, Tushar Deshpande has become the fulcrum of the CSK bowling line-up, having taken 19 wickets at an average of 20.8. In lieu of having a better average, Mohammed Shami has taken that Purple cap away from him, but he is definitely getting that back. Then what are you waiting for? Go ahead, and make sure you have the best bet out there for you to catch upon.

Marsh to be DC’s best bowler (Melbet)

Mitchell Marsh may have played just seven games this season, but he already has nine wickets against his name, having been the highest wicket-taker for Delhi Capitals so far. The fact that he has an average of 14.6 and an economy rate less than 9, there is a lot of positive to take away from this game. Trust him to deliver against CSK.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Chennai Super Kings

Chennai Super Kings may have gone winless for three matches before beating Mumbai Indians, but they have been one of the most sorted franchises from every angle. Even when their bowling has come under fire, they have unearthed new stars, with Tushar Deshpande and Matheesa Pathirana making sure that wickets are always in their bags. In Devon Conway, they have one of the finest players of the generation. On the other hand, despite a win in the last game, Delhi Capitals are still a bits-and-pieces team whose fortunes are hanging by a thread. Trust CSK to overpower them.

CSK to win @ 1.67 (Melbet)

DC to win @ 2.2 (Melbet)
