Delhi Capitals will face Chennai Super Kings at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi in the 48th match of the ongoing IPL 2026 on Tuesday. While CSK is in sixth place in the IPL standings, DC is hot on their heels at seventh place.

Both teams have played nine matches, won four and lost five, but CSK have a better NRR, and this clash will be crucial to gain supremacy in the mid-table tussle. CSK were able to do a double against arch-rivals Mumbai Indians as they registered a comprehensive eight-wicket win in the last game.

Ruturaj Gaikwad gaining form at the right time, is a huge positive for the team. Kartik Sharma also scored 54 runs in the previous match, and that knock must have added a shot in his arm after some poor performances.

Furthermore, Anshul Kamboj has been right on the money, and the likes of Noor Ahmad and Jamie Overton have delivered consistently.

On the other hand, Delhi Capitals were able to chase down a huge score of 226 runs after KL Rahul and Pathum Nissanka scored 75 and 62 runs respectively against RR. Mitchell Starc’s return is also a huge boost and the Australian gun pacer was able to hit the ground running with three scalps.

Head to Head: Matches: 32, Won by CSK: 20, Won by DC: 12.
