Top five player battles to watch out for in DC vs CSK Match No. 13 in IPL 2024

The DC vs CSK clash will take place at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam, on Sunday evening.

Match No. 13 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 will be played between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on March 31 (Sunday). This clash will take place at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam and will be crucial for both teams.

With a win in this game, the defending champions will look to maintain their position at the top. They are coming off two consecutive wins. Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant-led DC has lost both games and needs this win to open their account in the IPL 2024. If they lose this, they will be put at the bottom of the table.

DC vs CSK: Head-to-Head Record

The head-to-head contest between the two teams has been dominated by the five-time champions. These two sides have come up against each other 29 times in total. CSK have 19 victories under their belt, while DC have won the remaining ten games.

DC vs CSK: Top five player battles to watch

1. David Warner vs Deepak Chahar

David Warner will be a key player for DC at the top. His performance will decide which way the game will go. The left-hander has been among runs and will look to carry on the momentum. However, he will be up against Deepak Chahar, who relies on his swing early on. He can move the ball both ways and can trouble Warner. Chahar has dismissed Warner twice in the IPL, and the batter hasn’t had great numbers. Warner has scored 69 runs off 64 balls at a strike rate of 107.08 against Chahar.

2. Mitchell Marsh vs Mustafizur Rahman

Two overseas stars will be up against each other: Mitchell Marsh and Mustafizur Rahman. This will be a good battle during the DC vs CSK clash. Marsh likes to take on the bowling and enjoys batting against quick bowlers, but he will not get much pace from Mustafizur Rahman to play his shots. The left-arm pacer is the highest wicket-taker of the IPL 2024 so far and takes wickets with his cutters. Fizz has bowled 28 balls to Marsh in T20s and got him out once. But Marsh has only scored 10 runs against him at a strike rate of 35.7.

3. Shivam Dube vs Kuldeep Yadav

We all know how dangerous Shivam Dube can be on his day, which he showed in the last game. He can destroy any bowling attack on his own with some mighty sixes. Dube bats in the middle overs when the spinners are on, and it will be a good contest between him and Kuldeep Yadav. These two players are currently in their best form. Dube brings his power-hitting, while Kuldeep has variations and experience to trouble him.

4. Rachin Ravindra vs Khaleel Ahmed

Rachin Ravindra has been in superb form in the IPL 2024, and he will be a big wicket in DC vs CSK game on Sunday. The Southpaw has taken Devon Conway’s place and given his team flying starts in both matches. That is one reason that Ruturaj Gaikwad’s bad form has not become a problem for the team. But he will be up against Khaleel Ahmed, who has been bowling well for DC up front. This will be the first battle of the game. The left-arm pacer has swung the ball and has good yorkers, and that will be interesting to see how Rachin will take him on.

5. Rishabh Pant vs Ravindra Jadeja

The DC captain, Rishabh Pant, will look to take his team to its first win of the season. For that, he needs to do well with the bat. However, he will face the experience of Ravindra Jadeja, who has played a lot with Pant for Team India. Hence, we might see an interesting battle in the middle. Jadeja has dismissed Pant twice in the IPL in 42 balls. But the batter has also scored 62 runs off him at a strike rate of 147.6.
