The Chennai Super Kings finally lost their first match at home in their previous match against the Mumbai Indians. They now play their last regular season home match against the Delhi Capitals. This is going to be a clash between the top two teams of IPL 2019. The Delhi Capitals have actually displaced the Chennai Super Kings from the top of the table thanks to a better net run-rate.

Both teams have won eight out of their twelve matches this season and have been very impressive. A win in this match would all but confirm a top-2 finish once the group stage has ended, thus providing an extra opportunity to try and qualify for the IPL 2019 final.

Chennai Super Kings have had a four-day break and that would have allowed some of their key players to recover from illnesses.

CSK vs DC IPL 2019 is going to be played at the MS Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.
