Delhi Daredevils (DD) take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their 49th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at Raipur on Tuesday. DD are well out of the race of making it to the play-offs but they would love to disrupt CSK’s run and create an upset for them in the tournament. When the sides met each other for the first time in this tournament, CSK had managed a win by a run and DD will like to reverse that now.
While CSK with 16 points is placed comfortably at the top in the points table, DD with four wins from their 12 outings are just above the bottom-dwellers Kings XI Punjab (KXIP). Both the team had contrasting results in their previous encounters. CSK won a close encounter against Rajasthan Royals (RR) whereas; DD endured a marginal defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) while chasing 164.
CSK have a well-oiled team but their batsmen have to step up as the knock out stages is very near. They have done well in the tournament and will once again look to come out hard against DD as they will be playing this match for pride.
DD will look forward to seek a revival of fortunes in their clash tonight. Their previous clash was crucial to keep their hopes alive in the tournament but they failed to do so. They have failed to contribute as a unit as a result of which they are no more in the race but will fight for their pride. JP Duminy has led the team from the front but unfortunately didn’t get enough support from his teammates.
Raipur is all set to witness the clash of the two teams, expect a run galore. We present you with the pick of the tweets.
Quite remarkable this deep into the tournament … still plenty to decide over the next couple of days! https://t.co/ogXrKtSET8

Won’t be surprised if Laxman Sivaramakrishnan is seen taking water and towels to the #CSK players

60 dot balls in the #CSK innings…#DD must play fewer dot balls if they were to win this one. 27 in 1st 6 for #CSK 23 for #DD so far!

Low scoring T20 fun it should turn into, @DelhiDaredevils have done 50% bit correct , can they carry on momentum in batting also? #ddvscsk — Mohammad Kaif (@KaifSays) May 12, 2015

Well done @ImZaheer . Class is permanent. Keep getting fitter. — Sourav Ganguly (@SGanguly99) May 12, 2015
What a spell by Zaheer Khan 4 overs 2/9 runs. #incredible #topclass #effort. #DD against #CSK #IPL #Raipur
— Anjum Chopra (@Anjum__Chopra) May 12, 2015
I have no doubt that Zaheer has been independent India’s best pace bowler after Kapil Dev. (And not based on today’s performance). Do you? — Cricketwallah (@cricketwallah) May 12, 2015
Game on I feel..Won’t be easy for @DelhiDaredevils enough in the pitch. Lowest score defended 116/9 by @ChennaiIPL v @lionsdenkxip in Durban

Zaheer Khan 19 dot balls In #IPL only Munaf Patel has more dot balls (20) in an #IPL match – for #RR v #KKR at Durban in 2009 #DDvCSK — Mohandas Menon (@mohanstatsman) May 12, 2015
Kudos to some superb bowling from Zak! Has given just 9 runs off his four overs and has taken 2 imp wkts #CSK #IdhuNammaSeason #whistlepodu

7 times Zaheer Khan have dismissed MS Dhoni in T20s, the most often a bowler dismissed a batsman in all time T20 history. #IPL — Cricket Record (@cricinfo_record) May 12, 2015
Dhoni is out the first delivery! Wicket at a crucial time! 🙁 Zak strikes! #CSK #IdhuNammaSeason #whistlepodu

Most intrigued by how DD will go on to lose this. #DDvsCSK — Gaurav Sethi (@BoredCricket) May 12, 2015
Batting first backfiring on Chennai. Raina who has not had a great season, has to come into his own to ensure CSK in play-offs by end of day

Please tell me what CSK is trying to do here? 16/1 in 6 Overs Pathetic Start #DDvsCSK — Broken Cricket (@BrokenCricket) May 12, 2015
