Chennai Super Kings will take on Delhi Capitals in their third match of IPL 2020 in Dubai tonight. Chennai Super Kings have one win and loss each from two matches while Delhi Capitals have one win from one match. 

Chennai Super Kings kicked off their campaign with a win over Mumbai Indians but in the second match against Rajasthan Royals, they suffered a loss and now will look to return to winning ways. Their bowling especially from Lungi Ngidi and Piyush Chawla and the openers' batting performances weren't good and they need to improve in their respective areas. Captain MS Dhoni too needs to bat higher and Ravindra Jadeja has to step up in the finisher's role. 

On the other hand, Delhi Capitals who won their first match in super over against Kings XI Punjab will look to improve their performance. Top-order batsmen failed against Punjab. Dhawan and Shaw need to give a good start and one of them has to play big knocks so the likes of Hetmyer, Iyer, and Pant can go for big hits and down the order, Stoinis who played a match-winning knock against Punjab will be crucial to finish the innings on high. In bowling, Kagiso Rabada and R Ashwin will be the leaders and the likes of Anrich Nortje, Mohit Sharma and Axar Patel have to support them.
