Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will face Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 17th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The match will be hosted by M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on 5 April 2025 at 03:30 PM IST. Chennai Super Kings are back at their home venue after facing a defeat against Rajasthan Royals at Guwahati. Gaikwad-led CSK kicked-off their campaign with a win against MI on their home turf, but since then, they have failed to deliver a commendable show, especially with the bat as they first lost to RCB at Chepauk, which was also their biggest defeats at home (in terms of runs). With the match against DC being a day game, the conditions are expected be similar for the batters in both the innings. CSK spinners will have their say in this game with the surface being a spin-friendly one. This match is a must win match for CSK as they are currently placed at the eighth spot in the table with a negative NRR of -0.771. Delhi Capitals, on the contrary, have played two matches in this season and they have emerged victorious in both. The clash against CSK will be their first away encounter this season and it will pose a challenge for their batters as they will need to bat more cautiously keeping the nature of surface in consideration. Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav may emerge as a perpetual threat for the CSK batters, who already are struggling with the form. If they manage to get away with their top order, they may end up having the game in their pocket. This battle promises a thrilling and exciting encounter as Chennai Super Kings are aiming to bounce back after back-to-back defeats, while Delhi Capitals are in the hunt of their third successive victory this season. This match also brings opportunities for various players to achieve the milestone, making this game an even more exciting contest to watch.
