DC vs CSK Fantasy Cricket Tips

Delhi Capitals Heavy Fantasy XI

• If you are backing the Delhi Capitals to win this game, David Warner will be a prime choice for the fantasy contests. 
• In the case of the DC bowlers, Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav could be the game-changers for the match. 

Chennai Super Kings Heavy Fantasy XI

• To be successful at the tricky wicket of the Vizag stadium, you need a stable technique and should be able to handle the change of pace properly. In the case of CSK, Rachin Ravindra, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Daryl Mitchell could be the essential batters. 
• Shivam Dube's ability to hit the spinners deserves special mention from the CSK team. 
• Ravindra Jadeja could be an important choice as he can be efficient with the bat and pretty useful with his bowling. Besides Jadeja, Mustafizur Rahman, with his deceptive, fast-paced cutters, could be a great deal in this game.

DC vs CSK Winner Prediction

Chennai Super Kings have looked like a pretty solid unit in this tournament and should ideally win this game. However, the Capitals will be desperate to get off the mark in the points table and cause an upset.

DC vs CSK Top Player Picks

David Warner (DC)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 78 Runs in 2 Matches
• The Aussie veteran has looked in good touch so far but has yet to score big. Given his experience and technical solidity, Warner should be the prime choice among the DC batters for the match's fantasy contests. 

Axar Patel (DC)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 36 Runs and 1 Wicket in 2 Matches
• The Indian all-rounder could be a utility player with his ability with the bat and the ball. Patel can be a tricky bowler to face on this wicket and valuable with the bat. Keeping Patel in the fantasy XI might ensure you point in both innings of the game. 

Ruturaj Gaikwad (CSK)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 61 Runs in 2 Matches
• The newly appointed skipper of CSK has yet to find a rhythm with the bat. Ruturaj Gaikwad has failed to leave any impact with the bat, even after getting a couple of starts. However, given the nature of the Vizag wicket, Gaikwad's technical solidity could be a huge plus.

Mustafizur Rahman (CSK)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 6 Wickets in 2 Matches
• The Bangladeshi veteran has rejuvenated himself in the IPL 2024. Mustafizur Rahman is currently at the top of the wicket-takers list and will be an excellent option for the visiting team on this wicket. 

DC vs CSK Differential Picks

Mitchell Marsh (DC)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 43 Runs in 2 Matches
• The Australian all-rounder has not been in a good rhythm in this tournament. Given the nature of the wicket, keeping Marsh might be a risky choice. But players like Mitch Marsh can fire any day and change the course of a match. 

Shivam Dube (CSK)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 85 Runs in 2 Matches
• The Indian middle-order batter has shown remarkable consistency in the tournament. Shivam Dube has continued with his spin-bashing spree and could be an impactful choice for the match. However, his lack of consistency is an issue, and he is, hence, in the differential section.
