As the end of the IPL season draws near, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will take on the Delhi Capitals (DC), as MS Dhoni's side push to maintain their qualifying spot on the points table in their final game before the play-offs.
Delhi are only playing for pride, after their campaign was ended early following what has been a difficult season for David Warner's men.
Here we look at the betting odds and match predictions for this match, which shapes up to be an intriguing clash.

CSK vs DC match prediction
CSK are currently the second best team in the league but still have work to do in order to secure their spot in the post season .
The Super Kings sit behind only Gujarat Titans (GT), but while they have enjoyed a successful season, they have not made their path to the play-offs easy, with two wins, two losses and a no-result in their last five games.
Delhi have rallied hard, winning three of their last five, but that has not been enough to extend their season and they will be looking to close out with a pride-restoring win.
We're backing CSK to get the job done here, though.

CSK vs DC best bet
- Pick: CSK to win
- Odds: 1.68 (Dafabet)
This should be an easy win for the Chennai Super Kings, who are the second best team in the league for a reason.
They'll be desperate to maintain their spot and finally secure their play-off place, and should make light work of the Capitals.
CSK vs DC outside bet
- Pick: Phil Salt top DC batsman
- Odds: 6.00 (Dafabet)
An IPL rookie, Phil Salt has averaged 30.71 runs per outing, but has impressed at times, including a high score of 87.
He might not be consistently the team's best batter, but at 6.00 odds he's definitely worth a risk.
