It’s a tale of two very contrasting franchises in this IPL 7 clash as struggling Delhi Daredevils host tournament favourites Chennai Super Kings.
After finishing bottom of the table in 2013 things haven’t improved much for Delhi since then and four defeats from six leaves them in seventh position.
In their last match against Rajasthan Royals the Daredevils were brushed aside once more and lost to Shane Watson’s side by a margin of seven wickets.
Quinton de Kock batted well in that loss, but they will want to see more from their top order as they come up against the force of the Super Kings.
Chennai beat Kolkata Knight Riders in their last game to make it five wins from six and putting them top of the table.
The match was reduced by rain but CSK batsman Brendon McCullum still managed to smash a half century, whilst with the ball Ravindra Jadeja and Mohit Sharma took four and three wickets apiece.
In the heat of Delhi bowling could play a big part and the visitors will be hoping to get spinner Ravi Ashwin involved as quickly as possible, whilst the home side will be looking towards South African Wayne Parnell for guidance.
