New Delhi: After the last-ball thriller on Friday night, between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore, IPL will be back with its second match today. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will face the Delhi Capitals (DC) on Saturday night at Wankhede Stadium. The match is scheduled at 7: 30 PM while the toss will be done at 7:00 PM.

Preview

Chennai Super Kings had a terrible season last year, but they will be pleased to have gotten through their pre-season quarantine without any hitches. CSK made some brilliant choices by buying Robin Uthappa and Moeen Ali at this year’s mini-auction. Another good news is that Suresh Raina is back,  so the team will hope to get out of the quagmire they were in during the last season. Captain cool, MS Dhoni is Chennai’s leading run-scorer against Delhi with 547 runs. On the other hand, DJ Bravo is the leading wicket-taker with 14 wickets.

After 1️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ Days, it’s ???????? again for DC ?

Time to get behind our boys as they get set to roar in the maximum city ?

After last year’s disappointment in the final against Mumbai, the Delhi Capitals will try to start this season on a winning note. DC have bolstered their ranks by adding iconic Steve Smith, Sam Billings, Tom Curran and Umesh Yadav at this year’s auction. Due to the restrictions of quarantine, South African pace pair of Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje will be missing from the team for this game. DC’s leading run-scorer against CSK is Shikhar Dhawan with 302 runs. While, the leading wicket-taker is veteran spinner Amit Mishra with 9 wickets.
