🏏IPL 2021 Qualifier 1 - CSK vs DC🏏

Here is the first qualifier match between

Delhi Dreamers vs Chennai challengers

Delhi Capitals face the Chennai Super Kings in the Qualifier 1 of IPL 2021 today.

Both Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings lost their final games of the league stage while defending targets their batsman put on the board.

Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings have been the best and most consistent sides in IPL 2021. Delhi finished on top with 10 wins and just four losses, while Chennai Super Kings edged Royal Challengers Bangalore on the basis of Net Run Rate and finished with nine victories and five losses.

DC’s batting seems to be a bit short as it continues to play with three overseas players and leaves someone like Sam Billings on the bench. We don’t think they are going to change anything at this stage and so Ripal Patel could continue to be a part of the lineup.

CSK’s middle-order is weak with Dhoni underperforming, Robin Uthappa not scoring runs, and Moeen Ali struggling to find the form he showed in the first half of IPL 2021.

A couple of early wickets could really set back CSK and the team’s one-dimensional approach could prove to its downfall in this match as well.

The winner of this match will book a direct slot in the final of IPL 2021.

Let us wish both the teams and the supporting fans.❤️

Gearing for the first Qualifier.

Cheers..

So news is that Super Kings have won the toss and chosen to bowl first.

Predicted best batter & bowler of the CSK vs DC match :

Best Batter: Ruturaj Gaikwad has been a revelation for the Super Kings in the ongoing edition of the IPL. After failing in the first three games, the youngster has come into his own and has scored runs for fun. In 14 matches, the right-hander has notched 533 runs at an average of 44.41 and a strike rate of 137.01.

Best Bowler: Avesh Khan has been exceptional for the Capitals in the ongoing edition of the IPL. He is currently the leading wicket-taker for his team, having scalped 22 wickets at an economy rate of 7.18. But he would be a tad disappointed after not being able to defend 15 runs against the Challengers.

CSK won the toss and elected bowl.

Cheers..

Dhoni: "Want to bowl first because most of the guys have felt there's a bit of help for fast bowlers here. And then it goes one-pace. But its not a wicket where things ease down. Its a tough wicket." Same team for Super Kings.
