In a crucial IPL match on Tuesday, Delhi Capitals aim to end their three-game home losing streak as they battle Chennai Super Kings, both teams locked at eight points. With five matches remaining, both teams are in a must-win situation to keep their playoff dreams alive.

Delhi comes into the game with renewed confidence after a strong performance in Jaipur, despite struggles at home. The Capitals' batsmen, including opener Pathum Nissanka and KL Rahul, aim to support the side while Mitchell Starc's pace could prove critical in the bowling department.

Chennai Super Kings, who are also under pressure, will hope skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad continues his rich vein of form, having hit back-to-back half-centuries. The absence of M S Dhoni due to fitness issues compounds their challenges as they meet Delhi at the Kotla.
