Much is not at stake when it comes to the encounter between CSK and DD. While CSK have already guaranteed themselves a spot into the playoffs, DD are already out of the tournament and will take the wooden spoon along with them.
The only thing that is at stake for CSK is that they will try to climb to the top of the table by defeating DD. CSK are already ahead of SRH on the points table and if they manage to defeat Delhi, they can very well climb ahead of Hyderabad. In that case, both the teams will have 18 points and CSK will edge SRH on the basis of NRR.

Pitch Report
With sporadic rains in the last few days, the Delhi pitch has moistened up a bit and is expected to be have become a little softer.
