DC vs CSK who will win?
One could expect DC to win this clash as they have formed a very strong team of late, while CSK have been struggling with ageing stars. DC beat CSK in both the matches last season and also reached the final, while CSK failed to qualify for the top 4. But who will win the DC vs CSK match is never to be taken for granted and neither do we in this cricket betting tips.
CSK vs DC Betting Strategies
There are various betting markets offered on every IPL match. The key strategy before betting on CSK vs DC is to study both the teams beforehand. Their form, their previous performance on that particular pitch, their record while batting first or second, whether its a batsman-friendly pitch or a spinner-friendly pitch. A batsman-friendly pitch will favour the Delhi capitals, as will a bouncy pitch, considering the fiery pace of Nortje and Kagiso Rabada.
Who will Win
While CSK are historically a dominant IPL side with a vastly superior head to head record against Delhi Capitals, their current form is worrying. They lost both their games to Delhi Capitals last season convincingly, and failed to reach the top 4 after a very long time, while DC ended up being the runners up after reaching the final for the first time. Based on current form and momentum we expect Delhi Capitals to be the favourites for this game.
Top Batsman
Before betting on the CSK vs DC top batsman market, it is imperative that you do your research on every batsman's form, his ability to play against spin or pace, depending on the opposition's strengths, record against the opposition, and his performance in the previous match between these two teams. These factors can play a vital role to decide who wins this bet.
DC Top Batsman
DC have a very stacked top order when it comes to batting. Shikhar Dhawan was their top scorer last season and will undoubtedly be the favourite to be the top batsman in this match, followed by the ever dependable captain Shreyas Iyer and their newly acquired marquee signing Steven Smith. The in-form Rishabh Pant and big hitting foreigners Hetmyer and Stoinis make up a formidable batting line up.
CSK Top Batsman
CSK have a strong batting line up as well, which runs quite deep because of some fiery all-rounders. Ambati Rayudu and Faf Du Plessis take care of the top order along with the dependable Suresh Raina and Robin Uthappa. Then comes MS Dhoni to stabilise the innings.
Top Bowler
Before betting on the DC vs CSK top bowler market, you should analyse the bowler's record during the current season, his record against this particular opposition, his favourite batsmen to bowl to (batsmen he has got out maximum number of times and those who struggle against him). As well as his previous match performance against this particular team. Abu Dhabi and Dubai pitches were very different from Indian pitches however, and should be taken in to account while betting on bowling.
Top Bowler DC
DC have one of the best bowling strike partnerships in the league, with South African pair Kagiso Rabada and Andre Nortje destroying batting line ups across the league. After them, its down to the brilliant spin duo of Axar Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin to bamboozle the opposition.
Top Bowler CSK
CSK have some fiery all-rounders like Sam Curran and Dwayne Bravo who add tremendous value to the team, and are key to snapping up quick wickets. They also have a fearsome combo of Josh Hazelwood and Lungi Ngidi to strike fear in the hearts of batsmen.
Player Betting
The player betting market is beneficial when you are confident on a particular player performing well. In this DC vs CSK match for example, Shikhar Dhawan to score more than 31.5 runs is a very attractive bet to place as he is DC's best batsman. Similarly, Kagiso Rabada to take 2 or more wickets is also a very attractive bet as that has happened several times and he is one of the finest bowlers in the league.
Opening Partnership Betting
In this market, it is very important not only to focus on the opening batsmen's form, but also their record as a partnership, as opening partnerships require a lot of chemistry and understanding with each other.
Delhi Capitals
DC have one of the best openers in the league in Shikhar Dhawan, however selecting his permanent partner is still an issue that needs to be resolved, as Prithvi Shaw is inconsistent. Ajinkya Rahane, Marcus Stoinis and Steve Smith are all possible options to open with Dhawan.
Chennai Super Kings
CSK no longer have the services of Shane Watson, which is a huge blow. FAF Du Plessis will probably open the innings with Robin Uthappa, who seems past his best too.
DC vs CSK Head to Head
Both these teams are on the opposite ends of the IPL spectrum, with CSK winning 3 titles and reaching the final 8 times, while DC have never reached a single final so far, let alone win a title. They have faced each other 27 times, with CSK winning 19 of those matches, and DC winning only 8.
