IPL 2020 Match 34 - DC vs CSK Fantasy Preview

It’s another double header at the IPL 2020 in UAE and in the first game of the day, we have Match 33 in Dubai where Rajasthan plays Bangalore. A few hours later, the action moves to Sharjah where the pitch is not as flat as it was in the first few weeks of IPL 2020. Now, anything 170+ could also be a winning total here as we saw in the last game here where RCB nearly defended 171 against Punjab, losing off the last ball.

Now, Delhi Capitals is in action in Match 34 and they’ve been great this season so far with 6 wins in 8 games while their opponents for the day are Chennai Super Kings who have 3 wins in 8 games but remember, this side has come back from 3/8 games to win the title in IPL 2020, so no ruling them out yet.

Numbers

Head to head in last 5 IPL games, Chennai leads 3-2.
In the reverse fixture in IPL 2020, Delhi won by 44 runs.
Delhi at Sharjah in IPL 2020 – won 2 out of 2 games here.
Chennai at Sharjah in IPL 2020 – lost their only game here.

Delhi Capitals

After a good start to IPL 2020, Prithvi Shaw has scored 0 and 4 in his last 2 games and he’s had a record of slowing down towards the latter half of a season so I’d rather go with the experienced Shikhar Dhawan who started poorly but now has 258 runs in 8 games with 2 consecutive fifties to his name now. There’s a chance Shreyas Iyer may miss out due to injury but on the bright side, Rishabh Pant is said to be fit and will replace Ajinkya Rahane in the side.

With the ball, close your eyes and pick Kagiso Rabada in your DC vs CSK fantasy team because he’s been superb with 18 wickets in 8 games in IPL 2020 while his countryman Anrich Nortje has been on fire too, breaking an IPL record in the last game where he fired in a bullet of 156+ kmph and these kind of speeds will be tough to negotiate on this Sharjah pitch.

Chennai Super Kings

Chennai may reconsider their extra leg-spin option with Delhi having too many left-handers, which means Piyush Chawla may miss out. I liked the move of sending Sam Curran out as an opener which means it’ll be an interesting contest between Ashwin and Curran in the powerplay overs. Curran is now a good fantasy captain or vice-captain option given the fact that he bowls too, but he honestly hasn’t been too threatening with the ball.

MS Dhoni has come out to bat with a lot of intent in the last couple of games and we think there’s a lot of pent up energy in him which means we may see a few sailing out of the ground from his bat today. Apart from MSD, also make sure you pick Faf du Plessis in your Nostragamus (Get Rs.200 FREE) fantasy team as he has some South Africans bowling to him today and he won’t be in any mood to get out to any of them.
