IPL 2026: DC vs CSK playing 11, live toss and match time, streaming
Both DC and CSK have four wins in nine matches and will be hoping to boost their contention for playoffs with a win on Tuesday
The race for the playoffs has started in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 and, in a crucial match in that race, Delhi Capitals (DC) are hosting Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in match 48 of the season at Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi today. DC skipper Axar Patel won the toss for the match and invited Rututaj Gaikwad-led CSK to bowl first.
Both teams have identical numbers as of now as they have both played nine matches and won four games. Although CSK ranks one place ahead of DC in the points table thanks to their net run rate.
For DC, things have started to look good as they have their openers scoring runs in bulk while their middle order is stepping up. The return of Mitchell Starc has strengthened their pace attack, while Axar and Kuldeep are getting wickets in the spin department but have been leaking runs too. On top of that, inconsistency is still haunting DC, something they will like to change in the CSK game. IPL 2026 Match 48, DC vs CSK: LIVE SCORE | FULL SCORECARD | PLAYING 11 | LIVE STREAMING
On the other hand, CSK’s campaign has been plagued by injuries and they have yet another addition to the list in the form of Ramakrishna Ghosh, who made a strong debut against MI in CSK’s last game but has now been ruled out of the season due to a foot injury.
CSK’s batting has started to pick up the pace, but the form inconsistency of Sanju will be a concern for them. CSK’s middle order is also failing to give a fiery finish to the side, leaving them lacking 10-15 runs in every game batting first. Meanwhile, CSK’s bowling has been top notch; both pacers and spinners are performing brilliantly. Ghosh’s injury might give way for Akash Madhwal or Akeal Hosein’s return in the side, which can be CSK’s only change in the playing 11.
