We bring you the match prediction of match 7 of IPL 2020 between Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals.
Meanwhile, MS Dhoni copped up severe criticism for batting lower in the order which resulted in Chennai losing against Rajasthan Royals.

On the bowling front, Deepak Chahar will have a smile on his face to see some grass cover on Dubai wicket. Three out of Delhi Capitals’ top-five batsmen are left-handed, and with Harbhajan Singh opting out, not one of CSK’s spinners can turn the ball away from them to cause problems.
Speaking on Delhi Capitals, they will be high on confidence after their Super Over win against Kings XI Punjab. If Shreyas Iyer & Co can exploit Chenani’s weak link in the spin department, Delhi can pocket another two points and go on top of the points table.
