IPL 2023: Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings – Dafanews Match Preview

Mumbai Indians will lock horns against arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings at their home ground of Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Saturday. Just like the other IPL teams, Mumbai will play their first home IPL game in four years’ time.

The five-time champions got off to a losing start against RCB whereas CSK has won one match and lost one as well. We look at the current form, head-to-head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.

Last two matches for CSK: W L

Ruturaj Gaikwad has been Chennai’s best batter at the top of the order but they will want more from their middle order. Devon Conway also played a handy knock in the previous game but their fast bowling unit is their kryptonite. However, Moeen Ali and Mitchell Santner were right on the money against LSG.

Last match for MI: Loss against RCB.

Mumbai Indians could not get going in their batting innings against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Tilak Varma scored a gutsy knock of 84 runs but the rest of the batters failed to contribute. MI also don’t have a gun spinner in their squad and they will want Piyush Chawla to take onus.

Head to Head: Matches: 36, Won by MI: 21, Won by CSK: 15.

Mumbai Indians have the wood on Chennai Super Kings in the H2H battle.

Players to look out for: Devon Conway, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ambati Rayudu, Moeen Ali, Ben Stokes, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, and Deepak Chahar will be the key players for CSK.
