Chennai Super Kings (CSK) vs Mumbai Indians (MI)

On Sunday, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI), two of the most successful teams in Indian Premier League history, will face each other at Wankhede Stadium for a high-stakes clash.

Under MS Dhoni’s command, CSK are looking to build on their victory over Lucknow Super Giants while Hardik Pandya leads MI in an attempt to turn around their disappointing start to 2019.

In their inaugural meeting, these teams produced an exciting high-scoring encounter that kept spectators enthralled for three innings at M A Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk.

Matthew Hayden scored 46-ball 81 and Suresh Raina 56-ball 57 to propel Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to 208 for five at M A Chidambaram Stadium while MI’s lower order batsmen tried hard, yet none could produce an innings that defined this contest; Abhishek Nayar and Harbhajan Singh took three-fors to give hope, yet their opponents eventually proved too far off.

Ambati Rayudu and Ravindra Jadeja led MI to an impressive 218 for six total in their second match against West Indies.

When MI needed 125 runs from 12 overs from Mukesh Choudhary and Daniel Sams, hopes appeared lost; however Kieron Pollard scored six fours and eight sixes to bring home victory in the last over.

With two games left, CSK are poised to secure a fifth title while MI remain at the bottom. MS Dhoni’s side still have a chance at going all the way this year as their core of experienced and young players has an excellent mix.

These two sides have met 39 times since the inception of IPL, with MI holding an edge over CSK with 20 wins against 18 losses. Over time, their rivalry has produced some exciting contests for fans; here are a few highlights from it all.
