The 55th match of IPL 2022 between Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals will be played on Sunday, 8 May 2022 at The Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai. The match will start at 07:30 PM local time.

Dr. DY Patil Stadium had proved lucky for CSK as they had won two out of three matches played on this venue. The bowling department of CSK had disappointed its fans in almost all previously played matches. Deepak Chahar is not available for this match and we think that they will pick Simranjeet Singh or Mukesh Chaudhary as his replacement. With these, both bowlers, M Theekshana, Ravindra Jadeja, Moeen Ali, and Pretorius are leading the bowling department of Chennai. M Theekshana was the most successful bowler in the previous match against RCB with three wickets to his name in four overs against 27 runs. Moeen Ali also performed well and picked two wickets while Pretorius had one wicket to his name. Ravindra Jadeja, Simarjeet Singh, and Mukesh Choudhary were the bowlers who could not pick any wicket. Ravindra Jadeja is an experienced all-rounder in the history of IPL but we don’t think that he had proved good in IPL 2022. M Theekshana and Moeen Ali have a big responsibility for handling the bowling department for CSK in the remaining matches.

DC faced some issues with the batting order in the previous match against SRH and we think that these will remain in this match. Axar Patel and Prithvi Shaw are not available for this match and this can be a big blow for Delhi. Mandeep Singh is the other batter who is struggling with his form these days. Delhi had also some positive things as they have a strong middle batting order which is performing well since some last matches. Without their opening partnership, they scored more than 200 runs in the previous match against Hyderabad. David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Rovman Powell, and Rishabh Pant are performing well in the middle and lower batting order of Delhi. David Warner was the most successful and highest run-scorer in the previous match with 92 runs to his name on just 58 balls with the help of 12 boundaries and three huge sixes. He remained not out till the 20th over. Rovman Powell was the other batter who was just good with the bat in the previous match.

Chennai had played 26 matches against Delhi where they had won 16 matches while DC had won 10 matches in the history of IPL against CSK.

Chennai Super Kings had won two out of the most recent five matches they had played while Delhi Capitals had won three matches out of five recently played matches.

Chennai Super Kings is a strong and well-balanced team and has a strong batting and bowling department which is in good form. The batting and bowling squad of this team is much stronger at least on papers. According to today’s prediction, Chennai Super Kings is the favorite team who will win this match. There are many factors that make Chennai Super Kings a favorite team to win this match. Some of the key factors are mentioned as under:

• CSK is back to the good form after losing early matches
• DC had won two matches in a row and is in good form
• The batting order of Delhi is strong and in superb form
• The bowling department of Delhi is better than CSK

Chennai Super Kings is overall a strong team when we compare with Delhi Capitals. They have the best players in the t20 format of cricket. The batting order of this team is also strong and some well-known hitters of the t20 format are part of the squad of this team, so the winning chances of today’s match for Chennai Super Kings have been increased. The equation of who will win today’s cricket match prediction and who will win the cricket match today is mentioned as under.

Chennai Super Kings have a 52% chance to win this match
Delhi Capitals have a 48% chance to win this match

The toss is going to play an important in the result of each and every match of IPL 2022 as we had observed in the previous matches. According to toss prediction, the team who will win the toss will elect to field first as defending had been difficult in the most recent matches of IPL.

The 55th match of IPL T20, 2022 is going to be held at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting in early overs. The track has a good amount of pace and bounce which allows the batsmen to the good cricketing shorts but this ground also has big boundaries which can be a plus point for the bowlers. A score of 190 plus seems to be a par score.

The weather forecast for Mumbai is good for this cricket match. There are almost no chances of rain in the region and we are hopeful that we will have a full match to enjoy.
