Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will take on the Delhi Capitals (DC) in match 18 of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday, April 11, 2026.
CSK are still looking for a win this season as they have lost three back-to-back games so far. The five-time champions are at the last spot in the points table without any points and will be desperate to turn things around against DC.
The lack of form of CSK's premier batters - Ruturaj Gaikwad and Sanju Samson has been their biggest concern so far, and they would want them to be at their top game if they want to outclass a well-oiled DC outfit.
On the other hand, DC losing their last match in a thriller, DC are still sitting comfortably at the 4th spot in the points table with 4 points in three matches.
Though they would be devastated after losing the last match by just 1 run from a position where they needed just 2 from 2 balls, they would want to bury the ghosts of the last match and start afresh against CSK at their den.
