The thunderous Thursday is bringing on the biggest game of the rivalry between Chennai Super Kings & Mumbai Indians. The venue for the game will be DY Patil Cricket Stadium, Navi Mumbai. Both teams are suffering a catastrophe in this mega season of the IPL. For Mumbai, the way for play-offs has almost closed as they lost six matches in a row this season. Also though CSK has registered their first victory against RCB, only a miracle can make their comeback in IPL 2022. These pair have faced each other in 34 matches in which Mumbai has dominated with 20 wins, while CSK has succeeded in 14 games.
For Chennai, the back-in-form Ruturaj Gaikwad, along with his fellow Robin Uthappa, is acting as the two captains of their ship. On the other hand, in Mumbai Indians, except Suryakumar Yadav, no one shows decent consistency with the blade in the batting order. There would be a few key battles to watch out for (Kishan vs Ali), (Ruturaj vs Bumrah), and (M Ashwin vs Uthappa). So, let’s hope that the biggest rivalry between both sides would entertain the spectators the most. Thus, below are a few predictions & fantasy tips for the game between MI vs CSK.

Also, this venue is located very close to the city’s sea; thus, the dew would make a strong impact on the game. The toss probability is always the same; whichever side wins, it would choose to bowl first in the match.
