A struggling pre-tournament favourite will take on a team that’s playing like an actual favourite as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) lock horns with Delhi Capitals (DC) at Chepauk on Saturday.
While CSK have lost two of their first three matches, DC are unbeaten so far, having won both the matches they’ve played. CSK can’t afford a loss while a win would put DC in pole position with 3 wins in 3. A massive clash awaits us at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.

Risky picks: Noor Ahmad (CSK), Shivam Dube (CSK), Mitchell Starc (DC), Jake Fraser-McGurk (DC)
CSK and DC have faced-off against each other 30 times and it’s CSK who have had the upper hand, winning 19 times compared to DC’s 11. 
Even though CSK have historically found it easy against Delhi, expect things to be different this time around. CSK are in pretty poor form while Delhi look really sorted. DC have two world class spinners in Axar and Kuldeep too, so they’ll have an edge even if it’s a turning track. 
Gaikwad might have scored a duck against RCB, but he still averages 107.5 across his last 7 knocks at Chepauk. He is the king of this ground and expect him to once again rack up the runs on a hot Saturday afternoon.
It’s going to be a battle between Mitch Starc and Noor Ahmad, but it would be prudent to back Noor, particularly given the match will be played at Chepauk. He is on absolute fire at the moment, having taken 9 wickets in just 3 games for the Super Kings.
Interestingly, pacers and spinners have almost had identical numbers at Chepauk so far, with pacers even edging the spinners when it comes to bowling average (21 vs 23). Expect a very balanced surface that will see scores around the 180-200 mark. This will be the first day game at Chepauk this season, so we could end up seeing a bit more turn, especially in the first innings. 
There is no chance of rain on Saturday in Chennai, but it will be a hot day, with the temperature expected to be in the early to mid 30s.
