Pant’s side needs to lift its fielding standards and better utilise Ashwin; Dhoni’s unit will want to get its bowling right and hope its in-form openers set the tone
Chennai Super Kings will take on Delhi Capitals in Dubai in Qualifier 1 of IPL 2021 on Sunday. DC got the better of CSK in both of their meetings during the league stage.
The winner of this match will directly qualify for the final. The loser meets the winner of the Eliminator between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders.
CSK comes into the match on the back of three successive losses, the last one a crushing defeat against Punjab Kings at the same venue. That loss showed that CSK bowlers struggle in flat conditions. However, they would hope to be better informed about what to do when batters attack them.
