The 67th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 will be played between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi on Saturday, May 20. 


Team Previews

Delhi Capitals

With their early elimination from the tournament, the Capitals will once again approach this match with nothing to lose. This lack of pressure often translates into fearless cricket, as we witnessed in their last game against Punjab Kings, where they put an end to Shikhar Dhawan & Co.'s dreams of qualifying for the playoffs by defeating them convincingly.

The David Warner-led side is more than capable of doing the same to the Chennai Super Kings in this match and the pressure will undoubtedly be on the latter to perform and hold onto their second position on the points table, but it won't be an easy task considering the magnitude of this high-stakes encounter.


Chennai Super Kings

Chennai Super Kings, on the other hand, have played a total of 13 matches in the tournament, winning seven out of them, losing five while their one match was abandoned due to bad weather, resulting in a point being awarded to them. 

With a tally of 15 points, they currently occupy the second position on the points table. They are coming into this game on the back of a six-wicket defeat at the hands of the Kolkata Knight Riders and this game will be a must-win for them. 

However, winning this game would not be sufficient for them if they are eyeing a top-two finish. They also have to ensure that their net run rate is better than the Lucknow Super Giants, who have the same number of points and are scheduled to play their last league stage match later in the evening on the same day.
