Betting preview

Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings have been the standout teams in the Indian Premier League this season and bookmakers expect a tight contest between the top two in Dubai.

Delhi showed off their bowling strength and batting depth to win a low-scoring thriller against Mumbai on Saturday, the same day as Chennai's four-match winning streak came to an end against Rajasthan Royals.

That game featured another stunning innings from Super Kings opener Ruturaj Gaikwaid, who scored an unbeaten 101 off 60 balls to follow scores of 45, 40, 38 and 88 not out in his previous four innings since the season resumed in the UAE.

The 24-year-old has the perfect foil in experienced partner Faf du Plessis and the Chennai openers, who have shared stands of 47, 75, 74 and 71 in their last four matches, can help their team to another solid start.
