Delhi Capitals

Tactics & Matchups: Ajinkya Rahane and Ambati Rayudu have not only been prolific scorers against Delhi Capitals, but have also scored at a much faster rate.

Chennai Super Kings

Tactics & Matchups: Deepak Chahar has an excellent track-record against Prithvi Shaw, dismissing the opener six times in nine IPL innings.

Did You Know?

In each of Ruturaj Gaikwad's last six dismissals, he has fallen to a spinner turning the ball away from him

Axar Patel is the only player to score more than 200 runs and take 10 wickets this season

In the 65-ball face-off against each other, Axar Patel has never managed to dismiss MS Dhoni. However, he has kept the CSK captain on a leash on most days, conceding only 75 runs.

What they said:

The pitches here in Delhi haven't been great, to be totally honest. They probably are great if you've got a lot of Indian top order batters. Then that wicket will suit that team. But that's not the make-up of our squad. As we saw the other night, if we're able to play on a good traditional cricket wicket, where the ball goes through nicely, doesn't really turn a lot, we saw exactly what can happen from our batting line-up

- Shane Watson, Delhi Capitals' assistant coach

Post for Pitch Report from the stadium closer to the game

Edited to add:

'62m square boundaries on both sides and a 74m straight boundary today. This pitch was watered a few hours ago, some grass cutting was put and was nicely rolled, the ground staff were worried about this pitch becoming very dry. It still looks dry, it's extremely hot at 41 degrees celsius. You'll have to bat first on this surface, there are some flaky cracks which could open up as the game progresses which will make the wicket slower and lower, and offer more turn. Batting will get difficult as the game wears on', reckon Kevin Pietersen and Aaron Finch, in their pitch report

I am worried more for WTC 2023 final

Indian team always goes in the final but due to IPL...they don't get time to prepare much 😕

I want to erase my nightmare memory of last WTC championship that Kohli just gave away to NZ on platter

After that i am not able to connect with Kohli
