IPL MATCH PREDICTION: Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals, match 55
In their next match, the Chennai Super Kings will face the Delhi Capitals at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. The return of MS Dhoni as CSK's captain did not help them much, as they are already out of the playoff race following their loss in the previous game. They will, however, still want to finish high in the points table, which will give them confidence moving into the next edition.
The Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, put in a fantastic effort against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in their previous game, winning despite major guns like Prithvi Shaw and Axar Patel suffering from niggles. Anrich Nortje's return will also be welcomed, since he brings a lot of speed to the armoury and is likely to keep his spot. It would be intriguing to see if Shaw and Patel are fit for the game because they will be thrust into the starting XI right immediately.
