THE LOWDOWN
MUMBAI INDIANS
- Mumbai Indians never got close to stopping Royal Challengers Bangalore from reaching an under-par score of 171/1, meaning they begun the 2023 IPL with defeat in Bengaluru.
- However, they can take heart from the fact that another young Indian player came good for them under pressure, Tilak Verma striking 84 not out to announce his arrival in the competition.
CHENNAI SUPER KINGS
- Chennai Super Kings enjoyed the perfect homecoming, beating Lucknow Super Giants by 12 runs after racking up the highest ever T20 total batting first in Chepauk, scoring 217/7,
- Opener Ruturaj Gaikwad’s excellent form continues, as he backed up his 92 against Gujarat with 57 vs the Super Giants, but MS Dhoni has called on his bowlers to stop giving away as many extras after conceding 13 wides against Lucknow.
THE PREDICTION
It’s always a special occasion when these two titans of IPL cricket clash and a hugely exciting contest looks in prospect at Wankhede Stadium. Chennai Super Kings batted excellently against Lucknow, but are likely to find it far tougher on the road, especially against a side desperate to prove their worth after being beaten so comprehensively by RCB. However, what Mumbai Indians have against them is a lack of experience. Chennai Super Kings boasts more experienced, tried and tested match winners among their team, especially in the overseas department and in a game of such stature, such experience should be vital. Therefore, back the visitors to get the better of Mumbai and lay down a marker to their biggest rivals on the road.
