Chennai Super Kings v Delhi Capitals – Match Preview

There is no home advantage due to Covid-19 restrictions forcing the tournament to only use certain stadiums.

Chennai are only one match ahead in the overall head-to-head stats for these two, having won five of the last nine.

However, Delhi did the double over MS Dhoni’s outfit last year and will be keen to do the same again.

Where: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, India

When: Saturday, 10 April 2021

Start time: 19:30 IST (15:00 GMT)

Pitch conditions: The pitch at Wankhede can provide a decent balance between bat and ball. It has perhaps been slightly better for batsmen over the years but swing bowlers have had joy.

Weather conditions: The weather is set to be dry and warm in Mumbai for this one. Rain is unlikely but dew could be a factor with this game played in the evening.

Chennai Super Kings v Delhi Capitals – Team News

• MS Dhoni – Chennai will again be led by India legend Dhoni for IPL 2021. His experience will be valuable as the team looks to improve on last season’s disappointing showing.
• Moeen Ali – England’s spin all-rounder Moeen joined the Super Kings in the auction after being released by RCB. He will have a point to prove and could have a vital role to play.
• Sam Curran – It will be interesting to see where Chennai choose to play Curran. He had spells all throughout the order last season, including opening at one stage.
• Steve Smith – Australia batting star Smith was snapped up by Delhi in the auction and could play a vital anchor role for the side if selected.
• Kagiso Rabada – The South Africa pace ace was the leading wicket-taker in last year’s tournament and can follow up that success once more.
• Shikhar Dhawan – The Indian opener made over 600 runs in the 2020 edition of the IPL to come second in theleading run-scorer charts. More runs could be on the way.

Chennai Super Kings v Delhi Capitals – Betting Tips and Prediction

We’ve got some early IPL betting tips for you. These are based on all the latest odds and can help guide you to the best value bets as the IPL action gets underway.

Back Delhi for a Winnings Start

Delhi enjoyed an impressive IPL season in 2020 and have what it takes to be a force once again.

Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje were brilliant with the ball in hand last term and Delhi have also bolstered their batting options too.

Sikhar Dhawan can shine at the top of the order before Rishab Pant, Sam Billings and skipper Shreyas Iyer do damage further down.

The Capitals could have too much firepower for Chennai in this one and their price of 1.73 with bet365 looks a good bet.

Delhi to Have Highest Opening Partnership

If Delhi are to win this opening fixture then they are also a good bet to have the highest opening partnership.

Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw could again form a formidable partnership. There is also the option that the Capitals could open with Marcus Stoinis in a position that seems to suit him.

Chennai, meanwhile, are now facing life without the reliable Shane Watson following his retirement.

They chopped and changed their openers last season and that doesn’t bode well this time around.

Delhi can be backed at 1.83 with 22Bet to enjoy a better first wicket stand.

Curran to Star for Chennai

Backing Sam Curran to be Chennai’s top batsman looks a decent longshot bet for this contest.

Chennai appear a little disjointed heading into this IPL season and there are plenty of questions to be answered from their top-order batsman.

Should their openers crumble under a strong Dehli bowling attack then the England man will be well-placed to take advantage.

However, there is also the chance Curran could yet open for CSK as he did on occasion last year.

Wherever he plays in this game, he looks in good nick after his barnstorming 95 not out in the final ODI against India.

His price of 7.5 with bet365 to be his team’s top run-scorer looks far too big.
