Currently, CSK is in second place in the points table with six wins and four losses, with one match failing to produce a result. They have a total of 13 points.

On the other hand, DC is at the bottom with four wins and six losses. They have a total of eight points and would be aiming to reach double-digits.

CSK had won its previous match against Mumbai Indians (MI) while DC had won their previous match against Royal Challengers Bangalore. In their last five matches, DC has found form and won four matches. CSK on the other hand have won two, lost two and one ended in a no-result.

Shane Watson on Phil Salt

"Well obviously the balance that Phil [Salt] provides as a wicket-keeper is a starting point and knowing is his scoring ability when he's able to get in and get going. And we just knew the way he plays, you're just gonna have to be patient because he is fairly high risk with the way he bats. But that also makes him so incredibly dangerous when up and going like, we've seen the games where he scored the runs into the two 50s that he's got, it's against world-class bowling and he's taking him down."

Half century or almost nothing is how Phil Salt has gone thus far but he has certainly made an impact at the top of the order for DC, apart from finally giving them stability in the wicketkeeping slot. Salt's season started off with a duck, he then scored 59 off 35 against the same SRH who had got him out for a duck. Then came another duck, this time against the Gujarat Titans, followed by a blistering 87 off 45 balls that was instrumental in DC's comprehensive win over RCB in their last match. Wonder which Salt we will get to see today.

No Anrich Nortje for DC

Anrich Nortje had to fly back home to South Africa for a personal emergency and so he is unavailable for the match against CSK

With so many reverse fixtures taking place it is quite strange to find two teams meeting each other for the first time at this time of the season but that is what we have here. In fact, we are bound to have a few of those in these last matches of the league stage considering how the IPL schedule was tailored so as to ensure that the 10-team tournament does not end up taking up half the cricket calendar.
