Defending champions Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings are playing against one another once again in this season on Friday. Both the teams played 29 matches overall in the Indian Premier League. In these 29 games, Mumbai Indians won 17 games, and Chennai Super Kings won 12 games. In the first match of this season, CSK won the match against MI. Rohit Sharma’s Mumbai Indians will be looking at controlling CSK and win this game. Considering both teams’ performance this season, it is easy for Mumbai Indians to defeat Mumbai Indians in this game.
CSK is facing back to back losses, and they are almost out of the tournament. They may not get into play-offs as it depends on too many factors that are not in their hands. The team might be giving chances to the new players in the rest of the games.
CSK is currently at the bottom of the points table. Mumbai Indians are in the third position. CSK played 10 games this season and tasted victory in 3 games. MI played 9 games, and the team won 6 games. This is a must-win game for MI as they want to occupy first place on the points table again.
Mumbai Indians lost their previous match after playing two super overs with KXIP. The team is in good form, but we are unsure if they can repeat the magic they showered in this season’s previous matches.
The match takes place at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, and we can expect a high scoring. The game begins at 7.30 PM IST.
