Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will hope to register their first win of the season as they take on Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 18 of the Indian Premier League 2026 (IPL 2026) on Saturday, April 11, at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side has again failed to start well in the ongoing edition, having lost all three of their encounters so far.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals (DC) have got off to a good start to the season, having won two out of their first three fixtures. DC suffered an agonising loss by one run in the last game against the Gujarat Titans (GT) and will aim to bounce back with a win against CSK, who will hope to register their first points of the season.
