They have met 8 times in last 4 edtions. While in 2008 and 2009 they shared a win each, 2010 saw DC winning both group matches but losing the crucial semifinal match. 2011 saw CSK winning the only match they played. Although both have won 4 match each, DC looks the weakest against the strong Super Kings, and after first match shocker against MI, CSK may be ready to trounce Chargers to bounce back in contention.

Overall IPL Performances
While CSK are the best IPL team of last 4 editions with maximum win-loss ratio, Chargers have slipped in performance since 2009 win. They have won only 25 matches as compared to 35 losses.
Who Will Win Today!!
CSKs strong batting line up needs a disciplined bowling and fielding unit to control them. Every team does not have what Mumbai Indians showed against them. Deccan Chargers have their own problem. Their acting captain Cameron White has alraedy been thrown out of his national team. His form and other players form does not show any sign of putting up a good fight against two-time champions CSK. Steyn may be the only one who can be considered a threat for CSK. But, he has only 4 overs to bowl.
