The 13th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 will see the Delhi Capitals (DC) square off against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium will host this DC vs CSK game.

The Delhi Capitals faced the Rajasthan Royals in their last game and suffered a loss. The bowlers failed to keep a check on the scoring rate as the Royals finished their innings on 185/5.

Chasing 186, the Capitals' batters got starts but they kept losing wickets at regular intervals and it meant that they finished 12 short of the target to lose two games in a row.

What followed was a brilliant bowling performance from them. They restricted the Titans to 143/8 to win the game comfortably by 63 runs and remain unbeaten in the IPL 2024.

On that note, here are three players you can pick as captain or vice-captain for your Dream11 side for the DC vs CSK clash on Sunday.

Opening the bowling, he bowled beautifully and picked the big wicket of Royals' skipper Sanju Samson, registering figures of 1/24 in his four overs. Any assistance from the surface and you can rely on him to rattle the opposition.

Axar dismissed well-set Ravichandran Ashwin and conceded only 21 runs in his four overs. With the bat, he remained unbeaten on 15. Axar is a must-pick in your Dream11 side as he can fetch you points in all facets of the game in the DC vs CSK clash.
