IPL 2020: CSK vs DC head-to-head stats and numbers you need to know before Match 7

After losing their last match against the Rajasthan Royals, the Chennai Super Kings will look to return to winning ways when they cross paths with the Delhi Capitals in Match 7 of IPL 2020.

While Chennai lost their match to Rajasthan, Delhi snatched a win from the jaws of defeat against Kings XI Punjab. Delhi's top order collapsed in the first game, and captain Shreyas Iyer will expect a better show from Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan and Shimron Hetmyer in the team's second fixture of IPL 2020.

Chennai Super Kings' batting order is not so firm in IPL 2020, primarily because of Suresh Raina's absence. Ambati Rayudu stepped up and delivered the goods in the game against Mumbai Indians, but he was not 100% fit to play against Rajasthan. The team management will hope that Murali Vijay and Shane Watson bring their 'A' game to the table.

Delhi and Chennai have been a part of the IPL since 2008, and here's a look at their head-to-head record before their first meeting in IPL 2020.
