Delhi Capitals will need to solve their opening conundrum quickly and find an able partner to complement David Warner if they want to return to the top four in the IPL here on Sunday with a win against a lacklustre Chennai Super Kings, who are standing on the brink of elimination.

DC are currently placed fifth in the 10-team standings with 10 points from as many games after their 21-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last match.

Defending champions CSK, on the other hand, are mathematically still there in the tournament although their chances of making it to the play-offs are almost non-existent.

How can Chennai Super Kings qualify for IPL 2022 playoffs?

First of all, CSK need to win all of their remaining 3  league stage matches to get to the magical figure of 14 points. Moreover, the Dhoni-led side will also have to ensure they win these matches by big margins to improve their net run rate, which can prove crucial going forward.

However, that won't be enough and CSK will also need the results of some others teams to go their way to stand a chance of finishing in the top four. The yellow brigade will especially want RCB to lose their remaining games as the Faf du Plessis-led side is close to getting 14 points.
