Delhi Capitals will look to make full use of the momentum which they got after beating the Sunrisers Hyderabad when they meet the Chennai Super Kings in the Qualifier 2 clash later today which will be played in Vishakapatnam from 7 pm.
It was a good all-round show by DC which saw them out stage SRH in the eliminator courtesy a sensational Man of the Match performance by Rishabh Pant.
It will be a battle between the youth of the Delhi Capitals and the wisdom of Chennai Super Kings with both teams having some biggest name in international cricket.
CSK has been found wanting on several occasions. It has been MS Dhoni who has been simply superb in the tournament both with the bat in hand and as a skipper.
The bowling department has been good and has bagged consistent wickets. However the spin-friendly track in Chennai has helped CSK and MS Dhoni as the skipper has gone for perfect changes in pitches which are totally conducive to spin bowling.
The top order needs to start scoring runs. The opening duo of Shane Watson and Faf du Plessis has been highly inconsistent with a few big scores from both here and there.
Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals have some sensational young players in their ranks who has the ability to change the complexion of the match with the utmost ease. Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan has been the prolific run scorers for Delhi Capitals in the tournament.
The absence of Kagiso Rabada has been a huge blow to DC after he was ruled out of the rest of IPL after sustaining an injury. The combination of Ishant Sharma and Rabada was quite fantastic.
