CSK vs DC Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 18, IPL 2026

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for match 18 of the IPL 2026 between CSK vs DC to be played in Chennai.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have been going through tough times and are yet to open their account in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. They have now won only four games since IPL 2025, which itself is a shame for the five-time champions.

Ruturaj Gaikwad and co. need a strong comeback, and the big boost for them is the possible return of Dewald Brevis, who is likely to be available for the next game. CSK will lock horns with Delhi Capitals (DC) on Saturday at 7:30 PM IST at Chepauk Stadium.

DC recorded a brain fade moment when they needed 2 runs off the last two balls, with David Miller on the crease. But they ended up losing it by one run. However, they still had some positives from the game. KL Rahul and Miller looked at their best, and that will boost the confidence of the batting group.
