Chennai Super Kings (CSK), who find themselves languishing at the second last spot and are already eliminated, will look to spoil Delhi Capitals' (DC) game when both sides cross swords in the 55th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Sunday at Dr DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai.
The defending champions haven't played the quality of cricket they are known for under Ravindra Jadeja. Though momentum slightly shifted in their favour when MS Dhoni retook charge of the team, it was too late as CSK was just one defeat away from their early elimination, and they got that at the hands of Royal Challengers Bangalore in their most recent encounter.
The four-time champions have lost seven games out of ten and would now be looking to play for pride in the remaining games.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals returned to winning ways when they blew away Sunrisers Hyderabad in their most recent fixture by 21 runs to keep themselves in the contention for playoffs qualifications. They are placed at the fifth spot in the IPL 2022 points table with 5 wins from 10 games, and a win here will keep them alive in the playoffs race.
