CHE vs DC Dream11 Prediction, 17th Match – IPL 2025, Fantasy Cricket Tips
Chennai Super Kings are set to face Delhi Capitals in the 17th match of the Indian Premier League 2025 at their iconic home ground, MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.
The tournament is getting more exciting with each match, and while most teams have picked up at least one win, Delhi Capitals remain unbeaten after two games and are looking sharp.
Hello and Welcome to the CSK vs DC Dream11 Prediction and Fantasy Tips for what promises to be a crucial clash for both sides.
Chennai Super Kings have played three matches, winning just one and losing two.
They currently sit in 8th place on the points table with 2 points.
Their campaign started well with a 4-wicket win over Mumbai Indians, but since then, they’ve lost back-to-back matches, and momentum seems to have slipped away.
They suffered a 50-run defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru at home, followed by a 6-run loss to Rajasthan Royals in their most recent game.
One of the key concerns for CSK is the struggle of their middle-order, which hasn’t been able to provide stability or finishing power.
Even MS Dhoni, the ever-reliable veteran, has yet to make a real impact this season, and that’s something the management will be keeping a close eye on.
Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, are riding high on confidence. They’ve played two matches and have won both, making them one of the most consistent sides early in the tournament.
They edged past Lucknow Super Giants by 1 wicket in a thriller and then comfortably beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 7 wickets in their second match.
Their bowling has looked sharp, and Mitchell Starc has been leading the pace attack brilliantly, showing experience and control in crunch situations.
As the action returns to Chennai, the spin-friendly surface at Chepauk could be a factor, especially against Delhi’s top order.
CSK will be desperate to bounce back in front of their home crowd, while DC will look to maintain their unbeaten streak and tighten their grip at the top.

The pitch at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai is traditionally known to be slow and spin-friendly, and that’s likely to be the case today as well.
As the match progresses, the ball tends to grip the surface, making it tough for batters to play through the line.
However, in the powerplay overs, when the ball is new and hard, batters will look to take advantage and score quickly before the spinners come into play.
Once the field spreads out and spin is introduced, run-scoring can slow down, and wickets often fall in clusters.
Teams that handle the middle overs smartly and build around their spinners usually do well on this surface.

Team News
Chennai Super Kings
If Ruturaj Gaikwad doesn’t recover in time from his injury, then Devon Conway is expected to open the innings alongside Rahul Tripathi.
In that scenario, Jamie Overton will likely be dropped from the playing XI to accommodate Conway as an overseas option.
With that overseas slot freed up and team balance in mind, Anshul Kamboj could also come into the side to bolster the bowling lineup.
This shuffle would help CSK maintain depth in both batting and bowling on a spin-friendly Chennai pitch.
Delhi Capitals
Delhi Capitals are expected to go with the same playing XI that’s delivered two solid wins so far.
The only possible change could be if T Natarajan is declared fit before the match.
If he’s fully recovered, he might come into the side to strengthen the bowling attack, otherwise, no changes are expected.
The team looks settled and in good rhythm, so they’re unlikely to tweak the combination without a strong reason.
