TEAMS PREVIEW
Chennai Super Kings Preview
CSK seem to have much settled batting unit this season. Rituraj Gaikwad, Faf Du Plessis, and Suresh Raina are expected to slot in at the top. They have a power packed middle order with MS Dhoni, Ambati Rayudu, Moeen Ali, Ravi Jadeja, and Sam Curran. They have superb depth in their batting line-up with Deepak Chahar and Shardul tahkur capable of scoring quick runs too.

Top players to bet on:
Rituraj Gaikwad – Gaikwad ended the last season on a high with three back-to-back fifties and he had a decent outing in local circuits this season. We expect him to make a big contribution with the bat in this season.

DC seems to have a strong Indian batting line-up with the likes of Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant, and Ajinkya Rahane. International players such as Steve Smith, Sam Billings, Shimron Hetmyer and Marcus Stoinis are expected to add more hitting power to the middle order.

Rishabh Pant – Pant is having a dram 2-3 months scoring runs consistently ion all formats across all conditions for the Indian team. He will look to continue his purple patch in this IPL season too to lead his team to maiden victory.
Ravi Ashwin – Ashwin is one of complete spinners who has a lot of variations up his sleeve. He will look to make a mark in this season to make a comeback into the Indian limited overs team.

Mumbai will have a hot ad sunny climate and the dew will make its appearance in the later stages of the match. We expect no weather interruptions whatsoever ion this match.

Wankhede is expected to be have good pace and bounce on offer and it will aid the faster bowlers to certain extent with the new ball especially. We can expect the scores to be around 160-180 runs in this match.

Both teams will look to chase the total as the ball will be hard to grip in the latter stages of the match. Chasing is the safe option in the early stages of the tournament.
CSK vs DC
Winning Prediction
CSK has an excellent depth in batting and bowling departments with a variety of options to choose in the playing XI. But their weakness will be lack of match time for most of their players and absence of intimating 140+ bowler in their ranks. DC is an exciting team with a lot of young talents like Pant, Shaw alongside experienced Stoinis, Smith, Dhawan, and Rahane. They have superb spinners Ashwin & Mishra alongside pacers Woakes, Curran, and Ishant Sharma. They don’t have any weakness expect the lack of big hitters as all-rounders in their lower order. We expect CSK to win this match owing to their depth in the playing XI.
CSK will win the match
