Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings meet again. Both teams had struggles after the first game but Mumbai seems to be finally getting out of its rut. They won their last two games rather comfortably with Jasprit Bumrah looking good and Rohit Sharma too had some crisp shots in the win against Sunrisers. The batting depth is starting look really scary and the bowling versatality is showing through as well. They have momentum building and the game could well be different this time around.

CSK come in with challenges. They snapped their losing streak against Lucknow but is that enough? Their bowling was very good in the previous game with Ashwin getting a break but there remains a lot of questions. The biggest on though is the role of Rahul Tripathi and Vijay Shankar. Are they still good enough to be in the middle-order? Does Jadeja get a longer rope in the middle? He has the potential with his ability to rotate strike at ease but Jadeja still has concerns when he gets tied down by quality spin. A massive positive though was Shaik Rasheed who announced himself into the IPL and looks to be one who can provide the spark for CSK at the top.
