IPL 2025 : The 5th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2 will be played between the winning Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Delhi Capitals (DC). Chennai's MA The match, which is played at Chidambaram Stadium, will start at 4.30 pm. In this match, Chennai will try to stop the winning series of Super Kings Delhi.
Looking at the statistics of both teams, a total of six matches have been played between Chennai and Delhi so far. Chennai has done well in these matches, as the CSK has won 90 times, while the Delhi team has been the winner only 3 times. So far, there have been 19 IPL matches at MA Chidambaram Stadium. The first batsman's teams have been here, they have won three times and the teams who follow the target have been successful three times.
Talking about the batting, the presence of Ashutosh Sharma, Vipraj Nigam and veteran KL Rahul has strengthened Delhi Capitals in the middle. On the other hand, for Chennai Super Kings, the decline in the capacity of Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a matter of concern. Except Shivam Dubey, there is no batsman in the middle of his middle that can score a strike rate of 2 or 2 in the last six overs. Chennai opener Rahul Tripathi's weakness against fast bowlers has been revealed.
Dhoni had decided to send him to the innings of Ritu Raj Gaikwad, but he has not yet played as expected.
The presence of Faf du Plessis in the Delhi team can be important because it was a part of the South African batsman for a long time and is well aware of the situation here. His experience will help batsmen like Jacquer-Franceser McCrgerk, Trident Stubs and Abhishek Porel. McCark's spinner has a little difficulty, and it would be interesting to see how Australian batsman Ravichandran Ashwin faces an experienced spinner. However, Ashwin has not yet been able to perform as expected. Chennai has won seven matches, out of the nine matches so far in the two teams at MA Chidambaram Stadium.
The pitch of the MA Chidambaram Stadium, the Chepok, is initially beneficial to the batsmen, but as the match goes ahead, the spinners will get help. There was an average of 170 runs last season, but this time the score is likely to go up to 180-190.
During the Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capital match, the weather in Chennai will be a little cloudy, but there is no possibility of rain. The temperature is likely to remain between 26 and 33 degrees Celsius.
Chennai Super Kings: Ravindra, Rahul Tripathi, Ritu Raj Gaikwad (captain), Shivam Dubey, Sam Kuran, Vijay Shankar, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (wicketkeeper), Noor Ahmed, Mathisha Pathairana, Khalil Ahmed.
Delhi Capitals: Jake Frezhar-Makgagar, Faf du Plessis, Abhishek Porel, KL Rahul (Yashtar Raksha), Akshar Patel (Karnadhar), Triston Stabs, Ashutosh Sharma, Vipraj Nigam, Mitchell Starc, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohit Sharma.
