DC vs CSK Match Day 13: Can Pant Open the Scoresheet?
Delhi Capitals (DC) will face Chennai Super Kings on a new ground Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam on Sunday at 7:30 P.M.
Delhi started this season with shaky notes, and they are in the 9th spot right now. Under Rishabh Pant‘s captaincy, they lost consecutive two games and looked for opening points.
In this situation, DC meets Chennai Super Kings (CSK). In the previous three years, CSK dominated DC and beat them by a havoc margin.
Chennai changes its captain but does not change its winning momentum. They continue their winning runs from last year and lead the table. As a captain, Ruturaj looks for the winning hat-trick.
Before you make your DC vs CSK Dream 11 Predictions, remember some points
- Prithvi Shaw can be added to the DC squad.
- Lalit Yadav can be added to the DC team against CSK. His spin bowling will be difficult for the CSK left-handed batters and he can also bat. So, this pick will be a smart move for DC.
- Abhishek Porel will be a choice for DC batting as an Impact substitute.
- Maybe Shai Hope is not available for this match.

DC vs CSK Pitch Report
The ACA-VDCA Stadium in Vizag has played host to 13 IPL matches so far, and the winning records of the teams batting first and second in those matches are almost identical. Six times, the first-batting team has prevailed, and seven times, the second-batting team.
The ratio between a team that wins the toss and wins the match, and a team that loses the toss and wins the match is the same as the ratio between a team that bats first and wins the match and a team that bats second and wins the match.
It is not a very high-scoring surface, as evidenced by the average score of 152 while batting first on this wicket. For this reason, it would be best to field first. It totally depends upon the team captain.
DC vs CSK Weather Report
It is likely to be a hot match for both teams by the eastern shore, with a 69% humidity level. Since Chennai players are accustomed to extreme heat and humidity, Delhi players would have to contend with these elements more in their new home.
