The two teams have occupied the bottom two spots on the points table. Mumbai is yet to win a game in the tournament. They have played 6 matches and have lost all of them.
Mumbai Indians:
Mumbai is coming into this game on the back of an 18-run defeat at the hands of Lucknow Super Giants. Lucknow notched 199 runs while batting first in that encounter. The bowling unit, once again, failed to hit the straps. Mumbai ought to take wickets early if they are to win the game on Wednesday.
In pursuit of the target, Mumbai fell 18 runs short of the target. The likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Dewald Brewis, and Tilak Varma are in fine form with the bat. However, Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma have failed to give solid starts at the top of the order. Their form is a concern for the team. Besides, Kieron Pollard too is yet to play a single match-winning knock this season.
Chennai Super Kings:
Facing them are Chennai Super Kings, who too are coming off a defeat in their last game. In the last 6 matches, Chennai has only managed to win a single game. Chennai Super Kings lost their last game against Gujarat Titans by 3 wickets.
Ruturaj Gaikwad returned to form with a 73-run knock in 48 balls. Ambati Rayudu too played a stellar knock of 46 runs in 31 balls to help the team reach 169 runs in the first innings. These are positive signs for the team as far as batting is concerned.
However, Gujarat Titans chased down the score with a ball to spare, thanks to a stellar batting performance from David Miller. Maheesh Theekshana (2 for 24) and Dwayne Bravo (3 for 23), once again, kept the hopes high. However, two bad overs from Chris Jordan to led to CSK losing the game. Heading into the next game, they would be looking to get back to winning ways.
