While Chennai has been one of the most consistenly performing team, Delhi has been one of those teams that has struggled throught IPL to make a mark. CSK in their first match couldn’t defend 205 against Kings XI and on the other side DD has played two matches off which they have won one and lost one. It will be a good battle here as CSK will be looking to register their first win and on the other side DD would like to carry on the momentum which they got against KKR. Let’s take a look how these two teams have faired against each other in previous 6 seasons :

It is clear that CSK have dominated Delhi Daredevils most of the times. It will be good to see if this time round DD can manage to win this one.
