🏏IPL 2023: Match 12 - MI vs CSK on 8/4/23 at 7:30 PM IST 🏏 - Page 2

What to expect: Two of the most successful sides in the history of the IPL, who had a torrid 2022 season. Expect them to bring out their very best against each other. Mumbai's batting has been misfiring, as has CSK's bowling -- so in a way, they're somewhat evenly matched. And of course, it's MS Dhoni at the Wankhede.

Why not🤣. I haven't supported CSK since last year 😆

Thanks for the thread, Madz!❤️

Pitch report:

Wankhede Stadium is known for its shorter boundaries and tends to help the batters more as compared to bowlers. The due factor will also play a role in the game and provide the team batting second an upper hand. The average first-inning score at the venue in T20s is 168.

Match Prediction:

Case 1:

• MI wins the toss and bowls first
• Powerplay score: 45-55
• CSK total: 185-195

Case 2:

• CSK wins the toss and bowls first
• Powerplay score: 40-45

Quotes

"The tournament has just started for us, so everyone is looking to start the season on a high. Yes, we didn't get off to a great start as a pattern, you know. But in the end, I still feel that we managed to get a decent total vs Bangalore. So, let's see what happens when we play at home in Wankhede." - MI batting coach Kieron Pollard is intent upon focusing on his team's positives.

"Over the last couple of years in particular we have played a lot of games here because of Covid. The players like myself probably came in 2-3 years ago and we don't look at these things (head to head record at the venue). It's a great opportunity to win. Mumbai are an amazing side, just like CSK actually, the two most successful teams in the competition. Another opportunity to go and win." - Moeen Ali doesn't think much of the head-to-head match-ups between two of IPL's most successful sides.

Did you know? Mumbai Indians have the highest win-loss ratio against Chennai Super Kings (58.82%) for all teams who have played a minimum of 5 matches.
