Delhi Capitals under head coach Ricky Ponting played last year's IPL final and will now look to take it a notch higher by clinching their maiden title. On the other hand, the relentless Super Kings led by MS Dhoni are back in the playoffs chasing their 4th IPL crown after a poor show last season. Even the head-to-head stats are in favour of the Yellow army. In a total of 25 matches that both teams have played, Dhoni's men have won 15. However, this does not give Super Kings an upper hand as the team has lost both the league games against Delhi this season.
