CSK vs DC H2H: Which team has had the upper hand over the years?

An exciting match is in store for fans as three-time champions, Chennai Super Kings take on 2020 runners-up, Delhi Capitals in Match 2 of the IPL 2021. Looking to recover from their worst ever finish in an IPL season — 7th out of 8 teams — the CSK squad and their skipper MS Dhoni will be pretty pumped with how their team is looking at the moment. However, with many more active players and a number of in-form players, the DC squad will be the ones to beat in this game.

CSK vs DC h2h details ahead of IPL 2021

As Chennai and Delhi gear up to meet for their opening games on Saturday, here's how they stack up against each other. Considering how Delhi and Chennai have fared historically at the IPL, it is no surprise that the CSK vs DC h2h currently stands at 15-8 in favour of Chennai. However, with DC's renaissance in 2019 and their two straight wins over MSD's side in the last season, it would be wise to not put much stock in the numbers when it comes to this fixture. 

The first game between the two teams came at the 2008 IPL when the Delhi Capitals were still the Delhi Daredevils. Each team won a game apiece. There have been five seasons in the tournament where one team has won all encounters against the other — CSK in 2011, 2013, 2014 and 2019 (including a playoff match) and DC in 2020 (one by 44 runs and the other by 5 wickets). This will be the first meeting between the teams at the Wankhede in Mumbai.
