Chennai on the other hand, need to regroup, rethink their strategies and find a way to once again return to winning ways as they face Delhi in the first qualifier.

They would have a fourth championship in mind while preparing for this crucial clash. DC vs CSK, Dream11 Team Prediction IPL 2021: Tips To Pick Best Fantasy Playing XI for Delhi Capitals vs Chennai Super Kings, Indian Premier League Season 14 Qualifier 1

Dubai International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report

This ground has been a high-scoring one in IPL 2021 so far, with some exceptions, of course. Batsmen generally find it easy to score runs here as the ball comes nicely onto the bat and the outfield is very quick. As a result, the shots that clear the infield, especially during the powerplay. would result in boundaries. A first innings score of 170-175 should be a competitive one on this strip.
