IPL Qualifier 1 Chennai vs Delhi Live Streaming: preview, when and where to watch, probable teams

Chennai Super Kings are not unfamiliar to playing in playoffs, rather as a team they thrive and will start as favourites in Qualifier 1 of IPL 2021 against Delhi Capitals on Sunday.

Rishabh Pant-led Delhi entered the playoff stage as the top team with 20 points but were stunned in their last league match against Royal Challengers Bangalore by a K Bharat’s last-ball six.

Chennai have been in final eight times and have thrice lifted the trophy, so it is in the business end of the tournament they have the ability to lift their game to another level.

Moreover, they are a side who do not like to experiment rather put faith on its tried and tested players over the years, such as Faf du Plessis, Suresh Raina, Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja, Ambati Rayudu and Dhoni himself. But in the last two years Ruturaj Gaikwad has been a find for Chennai.

Then they have the experience of Moeen Ali and Josh Hazlewood, who along with Shardul Thakul and Deepak Chahar make up the bowling attack.

Delhi, despite its 10 wins, have not been playing their top game. Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan have got starts in the UAE leg but have really not capitalised, same with skipper Pant. Delhi would really hope allrounder Marcus Stoinis returning, which would strengthen the middle-order along with Shimron Hetmyer.

However, Delhi’s strength has been its bowling, which included the likes of Avesh Khan (22 wickets), Axar Patel (15 wickets), Kagiso Rabada (13 wickets) and Anrich Nortje (9 wickets). But their real concern has been the power hitting in the death overs.
