Chennai Super Kings - 4 time Champions
Mumbai Indians - 5 time Champions
Only 1 title separates the two most successful franchises in the competitions’s history and likewise, only 1 point separates them on the IPL 2023 points table as well.
Chennai will feel they were unlucky in Lucknow, having come away with just 1 point after rain washed out the contest. MS Dhoni's men will be hoping for change in fortunes, since they have only got 1 point from their last 3 matches.
Mumbai, on the other hand, are currently flying high. Having lost their opening 2 encounters, including a 7-wicket loss against the Super Kings, Rohit Sharma’s men have won 5 out of their last 7 games and a win at Chepauk will take them above the Men in Yellow and into the top 4 for the first time this season.
Even though the batting group has come to the party for Mumbai, captain Rohit Sharma’s form remains a worry, who has managed a total of 5 runs in his last 3 innings.
Chennai, on the other hand, will be hoping their spin trio can stifle Mumbai’s batting firepower.
A tough contest awaits both sides.
TEAM NEWS
Mumbai are unlikely to tinker with their winning combination. However, they might be tempted to bring in Arjun Tendulkar in place of Arshad Khan or Akash Madhwal, who were both expensive in last match.
Chennai though are likely to go in with an unchanged XI.
