Talking of the head to head stats, out of 21 matches, CSK has won 15 while DC has claimed victory in just 6. Howerver, Capitals' assistant coach Mohammad Kaif has warned that this is a new Delhi team and since the IPL moved out of Indian, stats won't matter much here. 

CSK vs DC match prediction

It will be the battle of equals, given Delhi Capitals is still struggling to complete the match without hiccups while CSK seemed to have lost the old touch. Dhoni's constant move to batting down the order has not benefitted the team and lack of Raina, Harbhajan' experience is surely hurting the Chennai-based franchise. All in all, Dehli would start as favourites given the fire power in its team. However, one should never know what Dhoni's has on his head and instinctive captain cool may surprise.

Also, Dhoni & co did manage to defeat Mumbai Indians in the opening clash of IPL 2020, but chinks appeared in its armour as the team lost to Rajasthan Royals chasing a target of 217 runs. 

Did Dhoni make a mistake by batting at number 7 where he could have gone up and kept the chase alive? Many feels so but one thing is clear, CSK will have to figure it all out before they lag behind too early.
