Match Preview
The El Classico of IPL returns once again as this time it is the Chennai Super Kings hosting the Mumbai Indians at home.
But, while Mumbai is on a winning spree, things for CSK are starting to go downhill.
In their previous meeting at Wankhede, it was the Chennai Super Kings who beat Mumbai Indians by 7 wickets.
Therefore, Mumbai will not allow CSK to get a repeat of that and will look to demolish them tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Chennai will also look to gain more points and climb up the points table.
Furthermore, looking back at their previous games, the Chennai Super Kings didn’t get to play because the match was called off due to rain against LSG.
On the other hand, Mumbai Indians defeated Punjab Kings by 6 wickets and look pretty confident of beating CSK.
Thus, we will get an electrifying game between these two sides tomorrow at Chepauk.
