The Malaysian badminton team, who’s one of the top-seeded teams, is expected to advance from Group C, which also includes India, Chinese Taipei, and Australia.

This means that any of the teams in the group could potentially make it out as the group winners. Although Malaysia is considered to be the strongest team on paper, they should not underestimate their opponents. India, Chinese Taipei, and Australia all have the potential to cause an upset and defeat Malaysia on their day.

 Delhi Capitals (DC) will target a consolation win when they face Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 67th Indian Premier League 2023 (IPL) match on Saturday, May 20. IPL 2023 nears to end with just four group-stage games remaining but three playoff spots are up for grabs. Delhi were the first team to get eliminated from the playoff race. But they produced an impressive 15-run win against Punjab Kings in their last game to move to the ninth position in the points table. Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings missed out on a chance to top the points table as they lost against Kolkata Knight Riders by six wickets in their last match. MS Dhoni-led side remain in the second position in the points table with 15 points in 13 matches, on a level with third-placed Lucknow Super Giants.

CSK win and qualify! Phew, after 67 league games across 51 days of non-stop action, IPL 2023 has its second team in the playoffs. And it's the usual suspects Chennai Super Kings, who with a 77-run win over Delhi Capital roared into yet another playoff, their 12th top-four finish in the 14 seasons they have appeared in so far. CSK put up a near insurmountable total of 223, which is a tough target against most oppositions on most pitches but proved especially plain-sailing against DC, a team that's been eliminated for about a week now and still doesn't seem to have a grip on its home conditions. Warner's lone fight aside, DC were never in the run-chase and crawled to 146/9 in their 20 overs. That the last over of the run-chase was a double-wicket maiden tells a story. A good start with the ball too Tushar Deshpande struck in his first over to get rid of Prithvi Shaw, who was caught by a flying Ambati Rayudu in the deep. Deepak Chahar then seals off the powerplay in CSK

In order to qualify for the playoffs of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2023, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) cannot afford to drop any point when they take on Delhi Capitals (DC) at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi on May 20. Notably, the MS Dhoni-led side currently has 15 points to their name in 13 matches and is second on the points table. However, if they lose to DC, teams like LSG, RCB, and MI can topple the four-time champions, leaving CSK out of the playoffs race. However, if they manage to win, CSK will have a great opportunity to eventually finish in the top two. Thus the match holds a lot of value, to say the least. When it comes to the home side, the David Warner-led side will try to finish on a higher note and give the fans something to cheer for. They defeated PBKS by 15 runs in the last match and jeopardized their hopes to qualify for the playoffs. It remains to be seen if they can spoil CSK’s party this time around.  All eyes will be on Prithvi Shaw and Rilee Rossouw, who were se

 Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) host Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in what will be their final game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Eden Gardens on Saturday. KKR are currently in seventh place in the points table with six wins and seven losses, while LSG is third with seven wins and five losses. So, merely a win will not suffice for the Knights. They will have to beat Lucknow by a significant margin and also hope that other results go in their favour, needing Punjab Kings (vs Rajasthan Royals), Gujarat Titans (vs Royal Challengers Bangalore) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (Mumbai Indians) to win their respective matches. KKR have also been unable to take advantage of the home conditions with an apparent lack of communication between the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) and the franchise.Their captain Nitish Rana has rued the lack of home advantage, but the Eden Gardens pitch curator Sujan Mukherjee has made it clear that he is not obligated to provide pitches that the home team wa
