Chennai Super Kings
Three times champion, Chennai Super Kings is the second most successful franchise in the IPL led by former Indian skipper MS Dhoni. CSK’s team combination looks very balanced and strong, they got plenty of options in batting and bowling. In the last game, CSK put together an inspired performance against depleted SRH and won the game by a big margin of 7 wickets. In batting, CSK openers R Gaikwad and Faf Du Plessis came well yet again in the previous match and put up a 129 runs partnership. Faf Du Plessis with 270 runs from 6 innings at a strike rate of 140 is currently second in the leading scorer list. R Gaikwad also played well for his 192 and currently the second-best batsmen for CSK in the ongoing season. The batting duo will aim for another good partnership against MI’s lethal bowling attack.

Notably, Raina is the highest scorer against MI; scored 730 from 30 innings at an average of 30.
In the middle-order, CSK got great fire-power with the likes of Dhoni, Jadeja and S Curran in their rank. Arguably, R Jadeja is one of the best all-rounders in all the format of the game, he scored 28 balls 62 and bagged 3 for 13 in a four-over spell against RCB. Jadeja is a key asset for CSK and the all-rounder can win many more games for his side. On the bowling front, D Chahar did a splendid job and he is amongst the top wicket-taker; took 8 wickets from 6 innings. He got the ability to swing the ball both ways and will be a bowler to watch out for in powerplay. S Curran and S Thakur will be other pacers for CSK.

Toss Prediction
Both the earlier games at this venue were won by a chasing team very convincingly. Also, taking into consideration the dew factor in the second inning, both teams would look to bowl first after winning the toss.
Winning Prediction
Any MI-CSK clash is a marquee match-up. It’s a rivalry that has, over the last decades, acquired dynamics of its own. CSK is on song in the IPL 2021 edition after a five-wins in a row, on the other hand, defending champion MI looks average this season. However, MI’s bowling attack is very formidable when compared with CSK and statistically as well MI holds the upper hand with six wins from the last seven games opposite CSK. So, we expect it to be a thrilling game, but Mumbai Indians will be a favourite in this game.
We predict Mumbai Indians will win this match.
