Delhi Capitals will square off in their second game against the Chennai Super Kings, who suffered a 16-run defeat to Rajasthan Royals after beating Mumbai Indians. While the Capitals’ bowling department rose to the occasion, it is their experienced batting line-up that needs to live up to its reputation. The likes of Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shimron Hetmyer need to ensure that their side gets off to a good start. On the other hand, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, and Marcus Stoinis will look to go a level above.

CSK, who lead the head to head battle against Delhi, have some gaping holes they need to plug. Firstly, their opening pair needs to put on a considerable partnership followed by their bowlers, who went for plenty of runs against Rajasthan Royals. Their spinners, in particular, must get it right against Delhi Capitals to produce a winning result on Friday. Skipper MS Dhoni might also have to assess his batting spot according to the situation in the absence of Suresh Raina.
