Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals, DC Playing 11 vs CSK (Predicted), IPL 2022, Match 55, CSK vs DC. Chennai Super Kings will play against Delhi Capitals on 8th May 2022 at 7:30 pm in the 55th match of the ongoing IPL 2022 at Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai, India. Delhi Capitals has 10 points from 10 matches and are placed 4th in the points table currently.
Chennai Super Kings has 6 points from 10 matches and is almost out of playoff contention. Both teams are yet to win back-to-back matches in this IPL so far. Chennai Super Kings will look to play spoilsport in DC’s qualification chances.
Delhi Capitals stormed their way to reach 207/3 in their 20 overs against SRH with David Warner (92 runs) and Rovman Powell (67 runs) sharing an unbeaten 122-run partnership in their last game. Rishabh Pant, Mitchell Marsh, and Prithvi Shaw will join to form a deadly batting combination with all-rounders Axar Patel, Lalit Yadav, and Shardul Thakur in the lower order.
Anrich Nortje and Mitchell Marsh’s return further strengthen their bowling attack as both played a crucial role in their victory last night. Khaleel Ahmed and Shardul Thakur shared 5 wickets between themselves in the last game. Kuldeep Yadav is their top wicket-taker with 18 scalps and will be supported by Axar Patel and Lalit Yadav in the spin department.
Prithvi Shaw was ill and replaced by Mandeep Singh, Axar Patel’s injury forced him to sit out in the last game and he got replaced by Ripal Patel. Mustafizur Rahman made way for Anrich Nortje whereas Khaleel Ahmed came in for Chetan Sakariya.
If Prithvi Shaw is available, Mandeep Singh will be making way for the southpaw. On the other hand, if Axar Patel is available he will most probably replace Lalit Yadav in the eleven. Lalit Yadav wasn’t used for bowling in the last game and his batting strike rate is under the scanner.
SRH (10 points), PBKS (10), DC (10), and KKR (8) all have a fighting chance but only two of them will have a chance of making it through. Though the road to the Playoffs has only got tougher, the Delhi Capitals team will need to win at least 2 matches from their remaining 4 matches to finish on 14 points. With their NRR still on the positive side, that could help DC’s case in the future.
