Mumbai Indians are having nightmare of a campaign this season having lost their first six games. Time is slipping from their hands fast as qualification for the playoffs near.
Mumbai has bowling more of an issue than batting. They have not been able to finish games. Jasprit Bumrah is not in form and that is worrying. They have to get all things right this time to trouble fellow rivals.
Mumbai have lost their games to DC, RR, KKR, RCB, PBKS & LSG.
On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings too have a story similar to that of the Mumbai Indians. They have too have lost almost all of their games barring a narrow win.
CSK’s batting is not big an issue as they have batters who can perform but bowling certainly needs improvement. They have some signs of that with up and coming Maheesh Theekshana.
Chennai have so far won their only game to RCB. They though have lost against KKR, LSG, PBKS, SRH & GT.
In terms of the head to head, MI seems to have an upper hand with 19 victories as compared to 13 of the Chennai Super Kings. They have met each other 32 times.
For the wicket, the batsman will get aided with good bowlers reaping their rewards.
