DC vs CSK 2021 Match Preview
Both of these teams are in great form and seem to have a plan in place for IPL 2021. No doubt at the end of part 1 of IPL back in April 2021, these teams were neck to neck in the points table. DC was at No. 1 closely followed by CSK at No. 2 as they had played one match less than DC.
Surely the DC vs CSK prediction for today’s match will be interesting. This also will need us to look back at results from previous IPL seasons. The years 2016 and 2017 were tough on CSK due to their 2-year IPL ban. Though DC couldn’t perform well in 2017 or 2018, they climbed the ladder in the 2019 and 2020 seasons of the IPL, and have emerged as one of the strongest teams to look forward to in IPL 2021.
In the April match of IPL 2021, Avesh Khan took the valuable wicket of Dhoni and restricted CSK to just 188 runs. Khan climbed up the ranks on the Purple Cap table by taking important wickets. Then came the stellar performances from DC batsmen like Dhawan and Shaw. Captain Pant also scored some important runs and remained not out until the end to ensure victory for DC. This was the 2nd match of IPL 2021 and it changed all the IPL T20 match predictions this season.
Today’s match results will depend on the playing 11 so let’s take a look at the players to watch out for — Shikhar Dhawan (DC), Faf du Plessis (CSK), Prithvi Shaw (DC), Avesh Khan (DC), and the 2 captains Rishabh Pant (DC) and MS Dhoni (CSK). The list can include many more players, but these are currently the best in form. The Dream11 prediction today is a close one, but it’s similar to ours. Read on to learn which team will win today’s game.
Pitch Report
The pitch at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium is a flat one with some grass on it. This stadium has a batting-friendly pitch and outfield. There will be opportunities to score some easy 4s since it is smaller than the stadiums in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
October is usually bright and sunny in Sharjah with maximum temperature levels of up to 42 degrees Celsius, while the minimum temperature level is around 26 degrees. The rain prediction for today’s match will be 99% negative as we’re in the UAE. The humidity is usually very high in Sharjah, so it is not going to be easy to be out there in the field.
Since this match starts only in the late evening, the above conditions make it ideal for high scoring matches. The batsmen will benefit from the dew falling on the ground but the bowlers may face a bit of a challenge to pick up wickets.
