CSK vs DC Match preview and prediction - Match 17, IPL 2025

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be hosting Delhi Capitals (DC) for the 17th game of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025). The match will be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday (April 5).

CSK will be desperate to win the game after suffering losses in their previous two games. They are languishing in the bottom half of the points table after managing only a solitary win from their first two games.

On the other hand, Delhi Capitals have won both of their games so far and will be keen to extend their winning start to the season. They began their season with a thrilling 1-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants before beating Sunrisers Hyderabad.
