IPL 2019: Match 50, Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals – Statistical Preview

Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals are the only two teams that have sealed their playoff berths in the IPL 2019. They will be taking on each other on Wednesday at the Chepauk Stadium in order to seal their top two finish and feature in the Qualifier 1.
