After losing their previous match, Chennai Super Kings will host Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2020 clash at the Dubai International cricket stadium on Friday. The onus will be on MS Dhoni as a captain and batsman to re-assess his decisions and techniques for the results to fall in his team’s favour.

Dhoni has experimented from head to tail in the first-two matches of the IPL 2020. He will look to fix certain things for CSK in the early half of the tournament. Their rivals Delhi Capitals started the IPL 2020 with a thrilling Super Over win against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP). The capital franchise will expect to pull off similar show against CSK to add to their winning streak.

CSK batting line-up have been largely dependent on Faf du Plessis in the previous matches. The former South Africa captain has led the charge for CSK but failed to help them cross the line in the previous match. Veteran Australia batsman Shane Watson got to good starts but could not convert it into match-winning knocks. The top order has been a trouble for CSK.

Delhi Capitals will expect Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan to get among runs after a failed show in their first match. Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant and Marcus Stoinis will be the key for Delhi in the middle-order. The Delhi batting have South African pacer Kagiso Rabada to back their batting. However, the injury concern for Ravichandran Ashwin looms large.

Delhi Capitals looks a formidable unit and will hold the upper hand in the contest. They are strong as an unit. CSK, on the other hand, are struggling and will look to overcome their glitches but the young team in blue will be too good for them.
