Indian T20 League 2021: Match 50 Delhi vs Chennai – Gamezy Fantasy Cricket Tips, Prediction, Playing XI and 2nd Innings Fantasy Tips

Preview

It is a top of the table clash between Delhi and Chennai in the Indian T20 League. Both the sides are qualified for the playoffs with nine wins each and it will only be about strengthening their place in the top two to have multiple shots at the final. Delhi are coming off a brilliant win over Mumbai in their previous game and would want their momentum to continue going into the fag end of the tournament.

Chennai also would be keen on gaining the momentum back after the Rajasthan side literally made a mockery of their bowling chasing 190 the other day. They had rested a couple of their bowlers and they might come back in a bid to win this game. The batters, meanwhile, are doing a fine job and they are expected to continue their good run.

Top Picks

Shikhar Dhawan

35, 101, and 85. These are last three scores of Shikhar Dhawan against Chennai. Last two matches, he also won the Player of the Match award against them. The southpaw hasn’t been amongst the runs in the last few encounters and this could be the game where he can regain his lost touch.

Moeen Ali

Moeen Ali is clearly out of touch in the UAE leg. But expect him to make amends sooner rather than later. With four left-handers in the top seven of Delhi’s line-up, he should bowl a few overs too. Moeen is batting at three and can take the game away from the opposition very quickly.
