Super Saturaday’s evening will be a high voltage match between the two teams who hold more than 3 IPL trophies Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will meet Mumbai Indians (MI) at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
CSK stands 6th in the points table while MI stands 9th in the points table.
CHENNAI SUPER KINGS (CSK):
CSK tasted victory against LSG in their last match by 12 runs. It was a high voltage match where both the teams scored 200+ but Dhoni’s magic snatched the win from LSG.
CSK top order again proved and the 100 runs partnership between Gaikwad and Conway gave CSK a great start. Ruturaj Gaikwad again scored a half century and scored 57 runs in 31 balls. He is presently the orange cap holder in TATA IPL 2023. Conway also supported him and made 47 runs in 29 balls. Lastly those 2 sixes of Dhoni in 2 balls supported the team and finally the team ended up on 217/7.
Despite the win CSK’s bowling was not that up to the mark except Moeen Ali and Santner. Moeen Ali’s 4 wicket destroys the top and middle order of LSG. Santner was economical and took a wicket with an economy of 5.25. Remaining all the bowlers had economy of above 10 due to which LSG got past 200.
MUMBAI INDIANS (MI):
Mumbai Indians are back into their home after their defeat against RCB. MI signed Riley Meredith in place of Jhye Richardson. It must be a great help to the MI, since Bumrah is out of the tournament he might be a great option for the death overs.
Tilak Varma one man show helped MI to score 171/7 otherwise it might be difficult for the team to get par 120 runs. He scored a brilliant innings of 82 runs in 46 balls with a healthy strike rate of 182.61. MI has a huge line up of hard hitters. Rohit, Surya, Ishan and Green do have the potential to score big and this might come in their hometown.
Like batting, their bowling was also not up to the mark in their last match. Archer’s opening match with MI went wicketless. RCB batsmen played MI’s bowlers pretty easily. MI only took 2 wickets and most of the bowlers went past economy of 10.
