Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will play Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 17th match of the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk. CSK began their campaign with a victory over Mumbai Indians (MI) but then lost two consecutive matches to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Rajasthan Royals (RR). Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, have been unbeaten so far, winning both their matches against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).
CSK vs DC: Pitch Report
The pitch here is likely to provide something for the bowlers, especially the spinners. Batting is unlikely to be as free-flowing as some of the other IPL grounds, with the surface slowing down as the match wears on. Batsmen will have to do some time at the crease before they get a feel for the conditions and can begin to find gaps and pick up their run rate.
CSK Vs DC: Toss Strategy
The team that will win the toss, will most probably decide to bowl first because the pitch has the potential to become even slower in the second innings and proving tough to chase the target. The conditions might suit spinners later in the game, so the winning captain might prefer to set a target. But if the batting team can survive the initial pressure, scoring a fighting total is certainly possible.
