IPL 2026: Revived DC Face Stern Test From Resurgent CSK In Must-win Encounter (Preview)
Noor Ahmad Urvil Patel: Momentum is a fickle friend in the IPL, but as Delhi Capitals prepare to host Chennai Super Kings at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday, the contest serves as a must-win encounter for both teams locked in a mid-table scramble and eyeing moving closer in the race to the playoffs.
After suffering a hat-trick of demoralising losses, DC breathed life into their campaign by chasing down 226 against Rajasthan Royals. Meanwhile, CSK’s clinical dismantling of Mumbai Indians in their last outing at Chepauk bore the markings of a well-oiled machine - calm, efficient, and ruthlessly professional.
History leans heavily toward CSK, who lead the head-to-head record against DC by 20-12 and have won six of their eight encounters in New Delhi. Tuesday’s game is also a high-stakes rematch of their earlier meeting at Chepauk, where Sanju Samson’s century powered CSK to a 23-run victory. DC, meanwhile, have managed just one win in four outings at home this season and do not have the luxury of another stumble in familiar climes.
