DC vs CSK, IPL 2021: Today match players list & umpires
The two top-ranked sides in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 - Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Delhi Capitals (DC) - will go head-to-head in the 50th match of the tournament in Dubai on Monday.
Both CSK and DC have 18 points from 12 matches, with only net run rate separating them. If Chennai win on Monday, they will remain on top of the pile. A victory for Delhi, though, will see them move to the top. So even though DC and CSK have qualified for the playoffs, they still have plenty to play for.
The last time Delhi and Chennai clashed in Mumbai during the first half of IPL 2021, DC chased down a target of 189 with ease, winning by seven wickets. So MS Dhoni's men, though, might have a slight advantage when the sides clash in Dubai.
