Delhi Capitals vs Chennai Super Kings (DCvCSK): Qualifier 1 of VIVO IPL 2021 will be played between these two teams DC vs CSK, The match will begin on 10 October 2021 at 07:30 PM IST.
Team winner Prediction:
Key Points:
- Both teams have nine wins from 12 matches and are in terrific form
- CSK’s batting looks a bit too dependent on Ruturaj Gaikwad at the moment
- DC’s team is more adaptable to different conditions and we think its bowling attack gives it a slight edge as well
DC vs CSK Analysis:
Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings are both on 18 points after 12 matches. They have nine wins each and are separated by net run rate. In all likelihood, DC and CSK are going to finish in the top-2 and will get two chances to qualify for the IPL Final.
Of course, while both teams have qualified for the IPL 2021 Playoffs, they have not yet confirmed a place in the top-2 and so there is everything to play for.
DC welcomed back Prithvi Shaw into their lineup for the previous match while CSK rested a few players against Rajasthan Royals. Both teams could make some more changes to their lineups for this match and that is an unknown at the time of analysis.
Match Details:
Date: October 10, 2021
Time: 07:30 PM (IST)
Venue: Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai
Live Streaming: Disney+ Hotstar
TV: Star Sports Network.
Pitch and Weather Conditions:
The conditions in Dubai are hot but the pitch has remained the best for batting out of all the surfaces that we have seen. It is still slow but the batsmen have something to work with while the ball is hard and new.
We think this could be a match in which the teams could score 160 or more each.

Delhi Capitals (DC):
A closely fought victory in a low-scoring match against the Mumbai Indians would have given Delhi Capitals a lot of confidence. Excellent bowling performances from Axar Patel and Avesh Khan were the foundation on which that win was built with Shreyas Iyer guiding the chase with the bat.
DC made an important change in the previous match as it finally abandoned its Lalit Yadav experiment. Prithvi Shaw has come back into the team and Steve Smith has kept his place in the top order so now DC has six genuine batsmen plus an all-rounder (Axar Patel) to give it a nice amount of depth.
The surface in Dubai has been better for batting than in Sharjah and Abu Dhabi so far. Shikhar Dhawan could be the player to back in this match against a team that he loves to bat against.
DC’s bowling attack also has a lot of pace and that is something that could help it against the CSK’s batting lineup.
Likely XI: Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, RR Pant, Steven Smith, Shimron Hetmyer, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kagiso Rabada, Avesh khan, Anrich Nortje.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK):
CSK batted brilliantly and still lost the match against the Rajasthan Royals. Ruturaj Gaikwad is continuing his golden run of form and is currently the leading run-scorer of the tournament with over 500 runs to his name.
In fact, Ruturaj Gaikwad has probably been covering up for some of the weaknesses of the CSK batting lineup. Faf du Plessis is not at his best, Suresh Raina is struggling, and we have yet to see a big score from Moeen Ali. Where CSK has been able to get ahead of the other teams is by attacking in the middle overs with Moeen Ali and Ambati Rayadu taking the attack to the bowlers.
In the bowling department, CSK decided to play Sam Curran and KM Asif in the previous match. Having Dwayne Bravo and Deepak Chahar in the lineup is a big change and CSK will be much stronger if those two make a comeback into the playing eleven.
Likely XI: Faf du Plessis, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Robin Uthappa Moeen Ali, Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Curran, SN Thakur, KM Asif, JR Hazlewood.
