The Chennai Super Kings will take on the Delhi Capitals in the 55th match of the IPL 2022 on Sunday evening (May 8) at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. CSK’s fate has already been decided for the season, as their chances to qualify for the playoffs are over as RCB handed CSK their seventh defeat of the tournament to put curtains on their campaign.

The change in the captaincy before the start of the tournament did not to work for CSK as they ended up losing multiple matches. After the captaincy was handed back to MS Dhoni, CSK won the next game against the Sunrisers Hyderabad but failed to make an impact against RCB.

Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, have been on and off in the tournament. Having played 10 games so far, they have five wins and as many losses. In their previous seven games, every victory has been followed by a loss. Placed fifth on the points table, every upcoming game will be a crucial one for DC in order to make it into the playoffs.

For DC, opener David Warner has been in good form, having scored 356 runs in eight games at an average of 59.33 and a strike rate of 156.83 including four half-centuries. For CSK, Ruturaj Gaikwad has been performing well in the past couple of games while Devon Conway, who made his way back into the team after a short break, has scored two consecutive half-centuries.

DC are backed with a win from their previous game and they will look to carry the momentum against CSK. Their middle order has strengthened as Rovman Powell and the all-rounders have been putting up a competitive performance during the final overs of the game. This will also be the first time since the IPL 2021 qualifiers that the two teams face off.

Pitch and conditions

Both batters and bowlers are likely to benefit from the surface at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. The pacers will be benefited more than the spinners as the fast bowlers have been more successful at this venue because of the possible dew factor. The team winning the toss would look to chase.

Playing combinations for CSK vs DC

Chennai Super Kings

CSK has been making a few changes in the past couple of games. If Gaikwad and Conway continue to maintain their form, and the middle-order batters provide them the required support in the middle, there are high chances of CSK putting a big score. The bowling lineup has been an issue for CSK and the bowlers will have to restrict DC’s power-hitters.

Predicted Playing XI: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Robin Uthappa, Moeen Ali, Simarjeet Singh, Ambati Rayudu, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (c & wk), Dwaine Pretorius/DJ Bravo, Mukesh Choudhary, Maheesh Theekshana

Delhi Capitals

DC needs a stable opening pair. Though Warner has been in great form, Prithvi Shaw has failed to surprise this time. Skipper Rishabh Pant can help anchor the innings in the middle in case the openers fail to, and the all-rounders can be of great help for the team to put up a big total.

Predicted Playing XI: Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Lalit Yadav, Rovman Powell, Ripal Patel, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Khaleel Ahmed, Anrich Nortje
