The TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, match no.48, was a mid-table clash as the Delhi Capitals (DC) hosted the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Arun Jaitely Stadium, New Delhi. It was a must-win game for both sides; however, it was a Sanju Samson show, by which CSK won the match by 8 wickets. As they do a double over the Capitals this season.
DC won the toss and elected to bat first; they made one change with Lungi Ngidi coming back after a long phase of head injury, replacing Kyle Jamieson in the side. With CSK making a couple of changes, Akeal Hosein and Gurjapneet Singh are coming into the side, as Ramakrishna Ghosh is going out after picking up an injury in the last game against the Mumbai Indians.
