CSK vs MI rivalry intensifies

The match promises to be a thrilling encounter, with CSK’s bowlers facing a tough challenge against MI’s formidable batting lineup. MI’s batters have been in exceptional form, posting massive scores, including a stunning 230 against Delhi Capitals and a near-200 chase against Royal Challengers Bangalore.

MI, after a shaky start, seems to have found their groove, with players like Suryakumar Yadav delivering blistering performances. For CSK’s bowling unit, accustomed to slower, spin-friendly tracks, adapting to the flat, high-scoring surfaces at Wankhede will be a test.
