Delhi Capitals will take Chennai Super Kings on 26th March. The fifth match will be played at the home ground of DC. Both the teams have already won their first matches of the 12th season. We can expect a very close competition between these two very strong teams. Read everything you need to know about IPL 2019 Match 5 DC vs CSK.
Delhi Capitals Strength and Weakness
DC is one side that has several young Indian talents in the side. Prithvi Shaw, Rishabh Pant, and even the captain Shreyas Iyer are the next gen superstars of Indian cricket. With Shikhar Dhawan in the Delhi team, it adds experience to the youth.
Where DC might struggle is the absence of quality Indian pacers. None of the current active Indian pacers of limited overs cricket is in the Delhi squad. Overdependency on overseas pacers can prove to be costly.
Delhi Capitals complete squad
Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Harshal Patel, Rahul Tewatia, Prithvi Shaw, Amit Mishra, Avesh Khan, Jayant Yadav, Colin Munro, Chris Morris, Kagiso Rabada, Sandeep Lamichhane, Trent Boult, Manjot Kalra, Shikhar Dhawan, Jalaj Saxena, Bandaru Ayyappa, Ankush Bains, Nathu Singh, Keemo Paul, Sherfane Rutherford, Hanuma Vihari, Ishant Sharma, Axar Patel, Colin Ingram
Delhi Capitals Predicted XI
Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer(c), Rishabh Pant(w), Colin Ingram, Keemo Paul, Axar Patel, Rahul Tewatia, Kagiso Rabada, Trent Boult, Ishant Sharma
Chennai Super Kings Strength and Weakness
The hosts have a tremendous squad this year as well. They have a great balance in all 3 departments. However, the biggest X factor is the presence of all-rounders. With the likes of Shane Watson, Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja, Kedar Jadhav amongst the ranks, they have a big advantage over any other side.
Their only weakness could be in the pace department. As Lungi Ngidi is out due to injury, and Indian pacers are not much experienced. Imran Tahir is the leggie but due to the restriction of only 4 overseas players in the XI, he might find it hard to find a place.
Chennai Super Kings complete squad
MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, Deepak Chahar, KM Asif, Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Billings, Mitchell Santner, David Willey, Shardul Thakur, Monu Kumar, Chaitanya Bishnoi, Mohit Sharma, Dwayne Bravo, Shane Watson, Imran Tahir, Kedar Jadhav, Ambati Rayudu, Karn Sharma, Dhruv Shorey, Faf du Plessis, M Vijay, Harbhajan Singh, N Jagadeesan, Ruturaj Gaikwad
CSK Predicted XI
Ambati Rayudu, Suresh Raina, Shane Watson,  MS Dhoni(w/c), Kedar Jadhav, Ravindra Jadeja, Dwayne Bravo, Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur, Harbhajan Singh, Imran Tahir
