It is also the second time in IPL 2026 that the Super Kings and Capitals are up against each other. Earlier in the tournament, the Chepauk in Chennai hosted the Capitals when Sanju Samson became the first centurion of the season and stayed unbeaten at 115 to usher the five-time champions to 212/2 in 20 overs. Ayush Mhatre, who has now been ruled out of the tournament due to a hamstring injury, had chipped in with 59, while Shivam Dube slammed a 10-ball 20.
In response, the Capitals couldn’t sustain the momentum they needed to chase down the mammoth total. Tristan Stubbs top-scored with 60 and fought hard but the task was steep and the Capitals fell 23 runs short eventually. Anshul Kamboj and Jamie Overton shared seven wickets between them, with the latter finishing with an outstanding haul of 4-0-18-4.
Both Super Kings and Capitals are coming with wins over the Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals, respectively; hence, they will come in with some momentum. But the Super Kings hold a superior head-to-head record.
