DC vs CSK Match Prediction: Delhi Capitals will host Chennai Super Kings at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, on May 20th, 2023, and the match will start at 3:30 pm/IST.
Delhi Capitals won their last match against the Punjab Kings and knocked them out of the IPL season 2023. However, Delhi itself is out of the IPL 2023, but the way their batting unit performed in the last match was exceptional, and that was the kind of performance that they needed to do early in the season, but they did not and became the first team to exit from the playoffs race.
For the first time in the season, Prithvi Shaw showed his skills in the last match and showed that he is not a player who came up to this level of cricket by fluke. He scored 54 runs in 38 balls and, with David Warner, gave the Delhi Capitals a great start.
Delhi’s fielding and bowling were the worst in the last match, especially fielding because they dropped so many easy chances. They even missed the easy run-out chances and gave so many chances to Punjab Kings, but luckily, they won the match.
Rilee Rossuw was at another level from the first ball he faced in the match, and in just 37 balls, he scored 82 runs to grab the Player of the Match award. The bowling unit was fine, not too great, except for Khaleel Ahmed, who bowled a maiden wicket over, which was one of the turnaround events for the Delhi Captial team.
Chennai Super Kings side was not able to give a winning farewell match to their captain MS Dhoni in the final league stage match in the MA Chidambaram ground as they lost the match by six wickets after an amazing performance by Rinku Singh and Nitish Rana to win the match for their Kolkata Knight Riders team.
MS Dhoni had an amazing lap of honor after the match, which was one of the most emotional moments for any cricket fan, especially for the Indian fans, because he gave so much to Indian cricket and country, which no one will ever forget.
Chennai Super Kings took the match lightly, which coasted them to be not qualified for the playoffs yet, but there is a 98% chance they will still qualify for the playoffs.
Chennai’s bowling was not good in the last match, as they created no chances when Rinku and Nitish were batting, and it was an easy win for the Kolkata Knight Riders. The batting unit of Chennai was a bit off in the last match, and if they want to win the title, then they need to perform well.
MS Dhoni did not blame anyone for the loss as he said it was all about the dew factor because of dew the ball was not turning the match in the 2nd innings, which put them in the backseat.
One of those days when you win the toss and bat first and the moment the first ball was bowled in the second innings, you realise it is a 180 wicket.
Batting first I don’t think we could have got anywhere close to 180. I think the dew made a big difference. If you compare the first innings to the second innings, there was a lot more purchase for the spinners in the first innings and that’s what really got to us. (Can’t blame anyone for the loss) Yes, I think so.
MS Dhoni said in the Post Match presentation
It is going to be an exciting match for the Chennai Super Kings side when they go up against the carefree Delhi Capitals, who are already out of the IPL and coming with a strong win against the Punjab Kings.

The last match on the ground was between Delhi Capitals vs Punjab Kings, which was a decent-scoring match. The spinners had assistance from the pitch as they took 9 wickets overall.
The ball’s bounce was a bit low in the last match on the Arun Jaitley pitch, making it hard for the batters to hit their shots freely.
Arun Jaitley Stadium is a decent-scoring venue with short boundaries, which will help the batsman to score runs at a higher strike rate. The Pitch is also started to favor spinners more than pace-bowler, and the batting 2nd side will find it easy to chase down the total as it happened in the previous season.
As 6 matches have already been played on the ground, there is a huge chance that Pitch will favor spinners more. Moisture will be there on the pitch, giving a bit of swing for the swing bowlers.

Very happy with the way he has done and it’s important for him to keep continuing game after game and not get satisfied with what he has done.
