IPL 2021, DC vs CSK, Delhi Capitals vs Chennai Super Kings: Top Two Teams To Battle For Supremacy
NDTV
DC vs CSK: Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals meet in Match 50 of IPL 2021 at the Dubai International Stadium on Monday.
Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals sit pretty at the top of the IPL points table with 18 points each. They will go head-to-head on Monday at the Dubai International Stadium with the winner taking a big step towards finishing at the top of the points table. Both teams have won nine matches and lost three. CSK go into the match on the back of a defeat to Rajasthan Royals and will be desperate to get back to winning ways ahead of the playoffs. DC, on the other hand, held their nerves in a tricky chase to get the better of defending champions Mumbai Indians in their previous game.
Chennai Super Kings have looked completely at home in the UAE, and lost a match after four consecutive wins. Despite the loss, there were numerous plusses for MS Dhoni's team.
Ruturaj Gaikwad hit his maiden century in the Indian Premier League, climbing to the top in the Orange Cap race. Faf du Plessis has also looked good but the bowling came in for some stick in the match against Rajasthan Royals.
Powered by Gaikwad's ton, CSK posted 189 for four in their 20 overs but RR made a complete mockery of the chase with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shivam Dube running riot in Abu Dhabi.
CSK will hope the off day for bowlers was just a blip.
