Team News

Mumbai Indians: Star opener Rohit Sharma is almost certain to be fit to play against the Super Kings, which is just what the struggling Mumbai top-order needs as they look to revitalise their season.

Possible XI: Danish Malewar, Quinton de Kock, Naman Dhir, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya (c), Tilak Varma, Sherfane Rutherford, Mitchell Santner, Krish Bhagat, Jasprit Bumrah, AM Ghazanfar.

Chennai Super Kings: Ayush Mhatre is on the treatment table after tearing his left hamstring against the Sunrisers. The good news is that both MS Dhoni and Will Jack are both looking likely to see match action against Mumbai.

Possible XI: Sanju Samson, Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Sarfaraz Khan, Shivam Dube, Dewald Brevis, Jamie Overton, Matthew Short, Anshul Kamboj, Noor Ahmad, Mukesh Choudhary, Gurjapneet Singh.

Key Stats

Mumbai Indians’ Tilak Varma scored 101* off 45 balls against the Titans.
Mumbai Indians’ Naman Dhir has scored 28, 25, 50 & 45 in his last 5 knocks.
Mumbai Indians’ Ashwani Kumar took 4/24 against the Titans.
Chennai Super Kings’ Sarfaraz Khan has scored 32, 50, 23 & 25 in his last 4 knocks.

Chennai Super Kings’ Anshul Kamboj has taken 3/35, 2/32 & 3/22 in his last 3 matches.

Match Analysis

The Wankhede Stadium is known for being batter-friendly, with consistent bounce and carry that allow stroke-makers to play with confidence. A high-scoring contest looks likely, although both bowling attacks could still make early inroads if they get enough assistance off the surface.

Dew later in the evening often makes it difficult for the team bowling second, which gives the chasing side a clear advantage in the second innings. Spinners can still find some help, but fast bowlers are often punished heavily if they miss their line or length.

Average first-innings totals at the venue sit just below 180, while teams batting second generally score around 170.
