New Delhi, April 11 -- Chennai Super Kings host Delhi Capitals at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Match 18 of IPL 2026 takes place on Saturday, 12 April, at 7:30 PM IST. And, the table could not frame two more contrasting situations.

CSK are winless in 3 matches, sitting at the bottom of the points table just like last year. DC have 2 wins and 1 last-ball loss. They have a bowling unit running at the second-best economy rate in the tournament. And, KL Rahul is finally in form with 92 off 52 in his last game.

Chennai, the five-time champions, return to their Chepauk fortress needing a win urgently. DC arrive knowing they have already broken the Chepauk hoodoo once. Last season's win here was their first at this ground in 15 years.
