On one hand, we have high-flying Chennai, who are on the verge of reaching the playoffs of this year’s IPL. The MS Dhoni-led unit has registered five wins and four losses after playing 10 games and is currently lying third in the table with 11 points. The Yellow Army’s last two matches – except the latest game that was cancelled due to rain – ended in a defeat with the latest loss coming against Punjab Kings (PBKS). During the match against Punjab, Chennai posted a huge total of 200, thanks to a brilliant knock of 92 runs from in-form batter, Devon Conway. Defending 201, despite the brilliant bowling efforts from Chennai bowlers, Punjab somehow scrambled to a win. Having witnessed a two-game losing streak, Chennai will be eager to end their winless streak with a win in their next game and further cement their position in the race for IPL playoffs qualification.

On the other hand, we have Mumbai Indians, who are sweating it out to find a spot in the top-four. The Rohit Sharma-led unit is on a roll at the moment after having registered two consecutive wins on the trot. The five-time IPL winners recently defeated Punjab Kings (PBKS) to secure their fifth win of the tournament and are currently sitting in the sixth spot with 10 points after registering five wins and four losses. Batting first, Punjab raced off to a mammoth total of 214 on account of Punjab batters Liam Livingstone (82) and Jitesh Sharma’s (49) quickfire cameos. Chasing 215, Mumbai batters, Ishan Kishan (75) and Suryakumar Yadav (66) produced magnificent batting display as Mumbai chased down the target with ease. Coming into the next match, Mumbai will look to secure a win and climb up the ladder.
