The first match of the Saturday double-header will be raising the heat in Chennai for sure as the fans will yet again come in numbers to support the Men in Yellow and their 'Thala' MS Dhoni as well. 

 

Both teams come into this match with similar recent form, each winning seven and losing seven of their last 14 matches, resulting in a 50 per cent win rate over the past year. This sets the stage for an intense contest, with Delhi looking to end CSK’s dominance and improve their record, while Chennai looks to maintain their consistent performance.
