A Battle Between Tactics of India's Most Successful Captains

The Qualifier 2 is actually the final that we all would have wanted in IPL 2019, but unfortunately only one of the two teams would proceed to the finals from here on. The situation is more like Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal battling in the semi-finals itself. The reason why I am saying so is that it is the contest between India's two most successful captains. While the coach of one team is the pied piper of the Indian cricket team and the captain of the other one is the man with Midas touch.

The situation is more like the India and Australia world cup 2003 final. Where India (Delhi Capitals) had qualified for the final for the first time while Australia (Chennai Super Kings) on the other hand is usually the confirmed finalist of the tournament. Looking at the fact that Delhi Capitals have reached this stage for the very first time, the match seems to be much in favor of Chennai Super Kings. Not to forget their captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni performs best under pressure.

The intensity of this match will be altogether different. While Delhi would surely try to do some fancy since they are the first timer, the Chennai Super Kings would simply take advantage of this and would wait for them to make mistakes. The previous performance of these two teams does not really matter at this stage, since in T20 what matter is how well you perform on that particular day.

The Chennai does seem to be heavily dependent on Mahendra Singh Dhoni, therefore, his wicket might make difference in the result but I think it's the bowling which is going to be the key factor in this match. The one who bowls well is going to win this one and Chennai Super Kings seems to have an advantage here and for me are the winners of this match.
