The old warhorses of Chennai Super Kings had little trouble dispatching RCB in front of cheering Chennai fans at MA Chidambaram Stadium. Delhi knows it is a season where they can erase the painful memories of the poor showing last season and a win against Chennai is a step in that direction. Here we take a lot at the five players who can have a huge impact in the VIVO IPL 2019, Match 5 – DC vs CSK game. DC vs CSK Head-to-Head Record: Ahead of IPL 2019 Clash, Here Are Match Results of Last 5 Delhi Capitals vs Chennai Super Kings Encounters!

His helicopter shot against Jasprit Bumrah was an indication of the kind of form he displayed against Mumbai Indians where he needed just 27 balls to get to 78 runs. The wicket-keeper batsman is a dynamite coming lower down the order, and no bowling line up is safe when Pant is on a song. He has a wide array of strokes to counter both pacers and spinners and CSK will be aware of his strength and weaknesses. Delhi Capitals vs Chennai Super Kings Live Cricket Score 5th T20 Match.

South African pacer Kagiso Rabada clocked well in excess of 145 kmph in his first game of the season with some immaculate line and length. The batsman in the league rarely have faced some consistent quality fast bowling, and Rabada will be very difficult to get away for the Chennai batsman. In the death overs, his fast spearing yorkers can bring down the scoring rate of the opposition. IPL 2019 Points Table: Delhi Capitals Lead Indian Premier League Team Standings After Win Over Mumbai Indians.

Imran Tahir picked up three wickets on a track that had plenty to offer for the spinners back home in Chennai. Conditions in Delhi may not be the same, but Tahir is a class act who loves to bowl straight and attack the stumps. His role will be to pick up wickets in the middle overs and dry up the runs of Delhi Capitals.

Ambati Rayudu (Chennai Super Kings)

A classic batsman who goes about his business with little fuss but is very effective particularly in the opening position. His consistency is admirable, and CSK will want the Hyderabad batsman to play the anchor role around whom the other hitters can score freely. Although several argue that he is well suited at the no 4 spot, Rayudu has been a revelation as an opener and CSK management needed to be credited for it.

Shane Watson (Chennai Super Kings)

He may have gone for a duck in the previous game, but former Australian all-rounder Shane Watson is a class act. He will look to get himself in, and once he settles down, the carnage could follow as his strike rate grows exponentially towards the middle period of his innings. He was the leading run-getter for Chennai in the last IPL and is crucial to their scheme of things.

Delhi Capitals looked good against the Mumbai Indians, but the Chennai Super Kings may prove to be too tough a nut to crack given the experience and calmness the Men in Yellow possess.
