Dubai: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have won the toss and elected to bowl first against Delhi Capitals (DC) at Dubai International Stadium here on Friday.
DC and CSK played against each other thrice in the 2019 season and the MS Dhoni-led side won all the games.
CSK
CSK has played two matches in the tournament so far, and the side has recorded one win and one loss.
The side defeated Mumbai Indians in their first match of the tournament, but then the Dhoni-led side stumbled to a 16-run loss against Rajasthan Royals.
Delhi Capitals
