Key Stats
- Chennai Super Kings’ Sarfaraz Khan has scored 17, 32 & 50 in his 3 IPL innings.
- Chennai Super Kings’ Jamie Overton has scored 43* & 37 in his last 2 matches.
- Chennai Super Kings’ Anshul Kamboj has taken 2/27, 2/43 & 1/52 in his 3 IPL matches.
- Delhi Capitals’ Sarfaraz Khan has scored 32 & 50 in his last 2 knocks.
- Delhi Capitals’ Sameer Rizvi has scored 88*, 70* & 90 in his last 4 innings.
- Delhi Capitals’ Mukesh Kumar has taken 2/26 & 2/55 in his last 2 matches.
Match Analysis
The pitch in Chennai is expected to be dry and favouring the spinners, with the hot conditions aiding turn as the match heads towards its finish.
Evening dew can play into the hands of the side chasing, but the pitch could also be deteriorating by then, which will further assist the spinners. The first choice for the team winning the toss would be to bat first.
Scores above 170 should be competitive on this track, and batters are likely to play with caution, while being ready to pounce on any loose bowling from the spinners. The boundary is around 65m square and 68m straight, so the big-hitters will be every-ready to pounce on anything short or too full, but will otherwise be wary of going big.
The stadium sees an average of 12 sixes per IPL match, which is lower than most other stadiums. Teams batting first average 8 sixes, with just 5 coming from the side chasing.
Betting Markets to Watch
Score Over/Under Runs
Sanju Samson came into IPL 2026 on the back of scores of 97*, 89 and 89, but his first three knocks brought scores of just 6, 7 and 9. He’s such a classy player you expect him to score big at any moment, but an opener in a slump in the IPL can find it hard to hit his way out of it, so I’m backing him to score under 33.5 runs.
Best Delhi Capitals Batter
Pathum Nissanka has been in good form in his last 4 innings (77, 44 & 41), KL Rahul scored 92 off 52 balls in his last knock, but the Capitals’ most consistent batter has been Sameer Rizvi, despite a 1st ball duck in his last match, so I’m backing him to top score for the Capitals.
Best Delhi Capitals Bowler
Mukesh Kumar has been his side’s most consistent wicket-taker, picking up a pair of wickets in both of his last 2 matches.
Take Over/Under Wickets
Anshul Kamboj has picked up 5 wickets in the 1st 3 IPL matches, so he has the form to pick up 2+ wickets.
