IPL 2023: Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians, Game 49 – Match Prediction

In the clash of titans, Chennai Super Kings will lock horns against Mumbai Indians at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai on Saturday in a day game. When these two teams met earlier in the season, Chennai Super Kings won by seven wickets.

CSK had lost last two matches on the trot before their previous match against Lucknow Super Giants ended in no result after rain played killjoy. Thus, the MS Dhoni-led team will be looking to get back to winning ways after veering off the track.

On the other hand, Mumbai Indians have won their last two matches by six wickets each and they will be looking to carry the winning impetus to peak at this crucial time of the tournament.

MI’s batting unit has done a great job for the team and the duo of Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav batted at their absolute best in the previous match against Punjab Kings.

While both of these two teams have a potent batting line-up, which has also delivered the goods, both sides’ bowling unit has failed to bowl in the right areas. Thus, the bowlers will be looking to deliver a better performance.

Match Prediction: Chennai Super Kings will enter the contest as favorites against Mumbai Indians as they will be playing in their own conditions and their spinners will hold the key.
