IPL 2019 : Chennai Super Kings' probable playing XI against Delhi Capitals
We are just two matches away from witnessing who will become the champions of the 12th edition of the Indian Premier League. Three teams are still in with a chance to win the coveted IPL title. Along with the regulars Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians, we have the surprise package of this season - the Delhi Capitals left in competition. While Mumbai have already punched their ticket to the final, Chennai and Delhi will battle tonight for a place in Sunday's final.
The last time these two teams collided, Chennai bulldozed the Capitals at the Chepauk. Although tonight's match will be played in Visakhapatnam, the pitch is expected to assist the spinners just like the Chepauk. Delhi have played one match on this pitch and won it, while MS Dhoni's men will play their first game in Visakhapatnam this year.
