MI vs CSK Win Prediction

The home advantage definitely favours MI and looking at Mumbai’s Strong batting display from all matches it will be easy for Mumbai Indians with the chase. As there is no reliable bowler in MI other than Bumrah Mumbai Indians might struggle in defending rather than chasing. On other hand CSK away matches this season their all wins came at home. CSK lack power hitting at finish. So the toss plays a crucial role in this match. As winning captain opt to chase as dew progresses.

Here’s a look at some interesting player matchups for today’s MI vs CSK clash:

MI Batsmen vs CSK Pacers:

• Ishan Kishan/Rohit Sharma vs Deepak Chahar/Shardul Thakur: Both Kishan and Rohit are known for their aggressive opening, but Chahar and Thakur’s swing bowling could test them early on.
• Suryakumar Yadav vs Mustafizur Rahman: A classic battle between a flamboyant batsman and a crafty bowler. Mustafizur’s slower balls and variations could trouble Surya’s big-hitting..

CSK Batsmen vs MI Pacers:

• Ruturaj Gaikwad vs Jasprit Bumrah: A battle between two in-form players. Bumrah’s accuracy will be up against Gaikwad’s elegant strokeplay. Considering Bumrah red hot form it will be interesting to look at this match up.
