The 50th fixture of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 sees Delhi Capitals take on Chennai Super Kings at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on October 4 (Monday). The match is scheduled to begin at 7:30pm IST.

Teams Status

Delhi Capitals

Two teams that are likely to meet up at some stage in the playoffs, meet tomorrow night in what could even be a dress rehearsal of the final itself.

Both Delhi and Chennai reserved their playoffs berth a while ago and are almost guaranteed to finish top two as well, which would mean two shots at the final.

However, who finishes as the winner of the round-robin stage is yet to be decided, and for that, this match could be a handy tie-breakers.

Delhi head into this fixture on the back of a win, which was a return to winning ways for them as they had lost to Kolkata a match before. Their bounce back was against Mumbai Kings, which is always something to be proud of but Delhi will be concerned that they were stretched even when chasing only 130 against the five-time champions.

Chennai Super Kings

Unlike Delhi, Chennai Super Kings lost their last game, against Rajasthan Royals. It was their first defeat after a run of four straight wins.

What was surprising was that defeat came despite the Super Kings having amassed 189-4 batting first, courtesy of Ruturaj Gaikwad’s masterful 60-ball ton.

Yashasvi Jaiswal’s 21-ball 50 and Shivam Dube’s 64 made sure the Super Kings had a night to forget as their target was reached to inside 18 overs.

Usually, reliable Sam Curran and Josh Hazlewood were super ordinary in the game, both conceding 55 and 54 runs respectively in their quota of four overs each. But then, it can happen to the best of them, and a one-off game cannot be the reason to press the panic button.

Tipster’s Angle

Tip: Delhi Capitals to win @ 2.005

Delhi Capitals have beaten Chennai Super Kings in each of their last three meetings. Two of them have not even been close. We see Delhi maintaining this recent supremacy over Chennai. The play here is to back Delhi to beat Chennai @ 2.005 with 22Bet.

Tip: Delhi Capitals’ top batsman – Shikhar Dhawan @ 3.24

Shikhar Dhawan, after a brilliant first half of the tournament, has slowed down a bit of late. He has not had a decent knock since scoring 42 on September 22 against Hyderabad. We think he is due a big knock and this could just be the match to do it in. The play here is to back Dhawan to be Delhi’s highest scorer in this game @ odds of 3.24 with 22Bet.

Conclusion

Both teams are almost inseparable at the top of the points table and so you cannot go wrong picking either. Arguments in favour of either would seem believable. We prefer Delhi though.
