Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are set to take on Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 17 of IPL 2025 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. While DC have been in fine form, securing back-to-back victories in their last two matches, CSK are struggling to find momentum in the tournament.

With two consecutive wins, Delhi Capitals are currently placed second on the points table, showcasing strong performances in both batting and bowling departments. Their consistency has made them one of the teams to watch this season.

On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings find themselves in a tough position, sitting third-last with just one win in three matches. The five-time champions will be eager to turn their fortunes around and capitalize on home advantage at Chepauk, a venue known for assisting spinners as the game progresses.

MA Chidambaram Stadium Pitch Report:

The MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk is famous for its spin-friendly conditions and deep-rooted cricketing history. Early on, the pitch provides good pace and bounce, benefiting stroke-makers. However, as the match advances, the surface slows down, making run-chases more difficult. While fast bowlers find assistance initially, spinners take control in the later stages by capitalizing on the deteriorating pitch.
