The Chennai line-up has undergone two changes. Chris Jordan and Moin Ali were replaced by Dwayne Pretorius and Mitchell Santner. Mumbai has made three changes today. Daniel Sams, Riley Merideth and Hrithik Shokeen were in the final XI.
Two giants who are struggling to find rhythm in the season are coming face to face. Rohit Sharma’s Mumbai must win this match to retain at least a slight playoff chance. If they lose, Mumbai will be the first team to miss the playoffs this time. Mumbai have lost all six of their matches so far this season.
On the other hand, the situation of the CSK led by Ravindra Jadeja is not comforting. They have won just one of the six matches they have played this season. Therefore, CSKA’s playoff chances will be tarnished if they lose to Mumbai.
In the history of the Mumbai-Chennai conflict so far, Mumbai has the upper hand. While Mumbai have won 19 matches, CSK have won 13 matches.
