DC vs CSK Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report: IPL 2023 Match 67 | DC vs CHE Dream11 Prediction Today | Delhi Pitch Report
Win and qualify for the playoffs. Lose and face a nervous wait hoping that one of MI or RCB lose their final match. That is the scenario facing Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as they travel to Delhi for their final league match.
MS Dhoni’s men have been strong for the most part of the season, but suffered a hiccup at home to Kolkata six days ago. It was a game they were widely expected to win, but they never got going with the bat. How they fare on what is expected to be a slow turner in very hot Delhi conditions will be interesting to see.
Also interesting to see is how Delhi Capitals (DC) approach this game. When there was nothing to lose, they turned on the style to beat Punjab a few nights ago, courtesy mainly of Rilee Rossouw. They will seek a strong finish to a difficult campaign in front of their home fans.

Arun Jaitley Stadium Delhi Pitch Report and Weather
The Delhi surface took sharp turn in the last match. Prabhsimran Singh hit a memorable century on a turning track. It is likely we will see a similar pitch, and batting first might be a good ploy given this is a day game, with any score above 160 a competitive total.
A very hot afternoon is forecast, with temperatures to exceed 40 degrees.
