CSK vs DC Pitch Report

This pitch is known for being bowling-friendly. As the game progresses, the drier pitch and improved ball grip will bring in spinners. According to the pitch's overall statistics, teams that bat first have scored an average of 160 runs. So, considering this pitch, it's best to bat first and achieve a reasonable par score in the first inning.

Then, defend the total by utilizing quality spinners in the middle overs and pacers with the new ball to put pressure on the batters. As we saw in the earlier match between CSK and RCB, the batting-first team performed better at this venue, as shown by previous statistics.

Record of chasing teams on the MA Chidambaram Stadium

According to past T20 statistics, this venue has hosted 87 IPL matches. Of those, the team that fielded first won 37 matches, which is around 42%, while the team that fielded first won 48.

CHE vs DC predicted playing XI

CSK's probable playing XI

Ruturaj Gaikwad ©, Rachin Ravindra, Rahul Tripathi, Shivam Dubey, Vijay Shankar, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni, Jamie Overton, Ravichandran Ashwin, Matheesha Pathirana, Khaleel Ahmed, Noor Ahmed.

CSK's playing XI looks solid, particularly their top order, but their middle order has yet to perform well in this tournament; however, their bowling unit has done an excellent job in previous encounters. So we expect CSK to play with the same team combination because CSK is known for giving its players enough opportunities without making too many changes.

DC's probable playing XI

Faf du Plessis, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Abhishek Porel, KL Rahul (wk), Tristan Stubbs, Ashutosh Sharma, Axar Patel, Vipraj Nigam, Kuldeep Yadav, Mitchell Starc, Mohit Sharma.

In their recent match against SRH, DC demonstrated great intent by putting on their best collective performance. So we expect them to keep their lineup unchanged in the next match against CSK.
