CSK vs DC Match Preview, IPL 2022, Match 55 Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) face off against Delhi Capitals (CSK) in match 55 of IPL 2022 at the DY Patil Stadium on Sunday, May 8. This is the first time both teams are facing off in the IPL this season.

Heading into this game, DC are on 10 points while CSK are but eliminated from the season after their loss to RCB. Delhi has a chance to get to 12 points and get closer to sealing the playoffs berth.

The rest of the 8 teams are all in the race for the top four spots. GT, LSG, RR, and RCB are the current top four teams at the moment. While Mumbai Indians are eliminated things are looking tough for CSK.

CSK lost their previous match against RCB to dampen the chances of their playoffs qualification. They are on six points with four games remaining. They will get to 14 points if they win all their remaining games. However, 14 still might not be enough for them to qualify. CSK failed to chase 173 against RCB. This season they have been very inconsistent as a team with their performances.

Skipper MS Dhoni even acknowledged the same in the post-match presentation after the game. CSK would look to end on a high winning the final four games.

Thanks for the thread and for the tag Raji❤️

CSK will win I think [ wishful thinking!]

It's a do-or-die game for CSK, having lost seven out of their ten games.

They'll be watching the results of the other games as closely as they look inwards.

However, a loss here will mean that they fail to go past the league stage for only the second time in IPL history.

It's unfamiliar territory in some ways but having won one and come close against RCB, they too are in the process of ironing out a few chinks.

While the openers have found form, the middle order has been tapering off as is the case with their death bowling in the absence of Dwayne Bravo.

Capitals chose to field

Rishabh Pant has won the toss, and Delhi Capitals will be chasing. Axar is fit and back. He replaces Lalit Yadav. KS comes in for Mandeep. No question regarding the health of Prithvi Shaw.
