Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be up against Delhi Capitals (DC) in match number 17 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) on Saturday, April 05, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk. CSK will be playing their second home match after badly losing to RCB by 50 runs in their first game. Meanwhile, DC is only one of the two teams to not yet lose a game in the IPL 2025 season.
DC have registered two away wins against LSG and SRH, and will be riding high on confidence. With senior players like Faf du Plessis, Mitchell Starc, Axar, and Kuldeep Yadav firing, DC will be eager to continue with the winning streak. Also, a win against CSK today will propel them to first place in the points table. Surely, the Axar Patel-led side will not let this golden opportunity slip, as an early head start in IPL will augur well for them during the end stages of the T20 tournament.
