The match up between Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals will be the one between experience and youth. CSK has always relied on the proven customers to deliver for them, while the relatively inexperienced but hugely talented Delhi side is riding high on the performances of it's youngsters. Chennai Super Kings Strengths CSK has always known to be a batting powerhouse, but surprisingly it's the team's bowling that has rescued them from difficult situations this year. The spinners in particular have been exceptional. Imran Tahir is the second highest wicket-taker with 23 wickets in the season. Harbhajan Singh has also time and again provided crucial breaththroughs and Ravindra Jadeja has been economical as ever. On the batting front, MS Dhoni's brilliant striking form gives CSK an extra edge in the death overs. Weaknesses CSK's fragile batting has cost them a few matches this year. Shane Watson's poor form has been an area of concern for the Super Kings throughout the season. Ambati Rayudu, Dwayne Bravo, and Ravindra Jadeja have been inconsistent with the bat, leaving too much to do for MS Dhoni. Delhi will surely target CSK's out of form batsmen. Delhi Capitals Strengths Delhi Capitals' possesses some of the most promising talents of the country in it's batting line-up and all these special players haven't let the team down. Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, and Prithvi Shaw all have contributed to the team's success this season. Shikhar Dhawan, who is the senior most batsman in the side, has played his part too by providing solid starts to the Capitals. Weaknesses Delhi Capitals hasn't been able to cope with the absence of the team's strike bowler Kagiso Rabada. Trent Boult has leaked too many runs while Sandeep Lamichhane's performances have been underwhelming. Having said that, the team will be encouraged by Keemo Paul's performance against SRH and will hope that he can get the better of MS Dhoni in the death overs. Who will win the match? The way things have panned out this season, the battle between CSK's bowling and DC's batting will eventually decide the winner of the game. Even though CSK has some big match-winners in it's side, talking about current form, CSK has struggled in it's last two games and is looking vulnerable. On the other hand, Delhi Capitals' confidence must be sky high after winning a nail biting contest against SRH. Delhi Capitals would fancy it's chances against a not-so-confident Chennai Super Kings. Expect the Capitals to make it to their first ever IPL final.

Delhi Capitals (DC) registered their first-ever win in an Indian Premier League (IPL) knockout match in Visakhapatnam on Wednesday. After stunning SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in a last-over thriller, Delhi Capitals will look to carry forward the victory momentum when they take on defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Qualifier 2 at the same venue on Friday. The winner of the Qualifier 2 will lock horns with Mumbai Indians, who defeated CSK by six wickets in the Qualifier 1, in the IPL 2019 final in Hyderabad on Sunday. Delhi Capitals are chasing history as they are the only side to have never played an IPL final. It was CSK who denied Delhi a top-two spot in the league standings with an emphatic 80-run win at Chepauk and the MS Dhoni-led side stands in their way again. The tense win in the Eliminator, set up by their star player Rishabh Pant, is bound to provide an extra dose of motivation going into the knock-out game at Vizag. Pant's 21-ball 49 in a high-pressure game reignited the debate on social media over his non-selection in India's World Cup squad with former England captain Michael Vaughan saying it was "bonkers" to not have the young-wicketkeeper batsman in the mega event starting May 30. Another young gun Prithvi Shaw too played an important innings of 56 and was happy to be back among the runs after low-scores in the previous three innings. Delhi, having already played a game in Visakhapatnam, will have the advantage of knowing the conditions better. Their fast bowlers, Trent Boult and Ishant Sharma, did a decent job in the absence of Kagiso Rabada and were well supported by Keemo Paul, who picked up three wickets. Veteran spinner Amit Mishra was frugal again and also picked up an important wicket. The batsmen would be rather relieved that they would not have to face the spin threat of Imran Tahir and Harbhajan Singh on a turner in Chennai but it would be a challenge nonetheless. Another thing Delhi would have to be wary of is stage fright though the Eliminator surely prepared them for the tougher battles ahead. CSK, on the other hand, are used to playing the big matches, having won three titles besides being runners-up four times. CSK were hammered by Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 1 but expect to bounce back in style. Dhoni will be expecting an improved performance from his batsmen after the disappointment against Mumbai Indians. Opener Shane Watson has not been among the runs ever since smashing a 53-ball 96 against Sunrisers on April 23. Squads: Chennai Super Kings: MS Dhoni (capt/wk), Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, Shane Watson, Faf du Plessis, Murali Vijay, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Shorey, Chaitanya Bishnoi, Rituraj Gaikwad, Dwayne Bravo, Karn Sharma, Imran Tahir, Harbhajan Singh, Mitchell Santner, Shardul Thakur, Mohit Sharma, K M Asif, Deepak Chahar, N Jagadeesan, Scott Kuggeleijn. Delhi Capitals: Shreyas Iyer (capt), Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant (wk), Colin Ingram, Keemo Paul, Axar Patel, Rahul Tewatia, Amit Mishra, Kagiso Rabada, Ishant Sharma, Hanuma Vihari, Ankush Bains, J Suchith, Manjot Kalra, Chris Morris, Sherfane Rutherford, Jalaj Saxena, Sandeep Lamichhane, Trent Boult, Avesh Khan, Nathu Singh, Bandaru Ayyappa, Colin Munro.
