Today Match Prediction for MI vs CSK Dream11 team IPL 2021 1st May

Today Match Prediction for MI vs CSK: Two of the most successful teams in the history of IPL, Mumbai Indians will face Chennai Super Kings for the first time this season. Both teams are placed in the upper half of the table. However, Chennai Super Kings are in a much better position.

MS Dhoni and Co. are sitting at the top of the table with 5 wins in 6 games. They are coming into the game on the back of five consecutive victories. With both the batting and bowlers department doing quite well, CSK would be confident of winning their sixth consecutive match against MI. Faf du Plessis and Ritutraj Gaekwad will once again be two players to watch out for. The duo has been exceptional with the bat. Moeen has been playing outstanding cameos at three. The depth in CSK’s batting would give them the confidence to play aggressively against a strong MI bowling attack.

Due to a poor run from the middle order, MI haven’t had the greatest of starts to their campaign. Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard are yet to unleash themselves. How they bat in the upcoming games will be crucial for MI’s chances ahead in the tournament. Nevertheless, Quinton de Kock’s match-winning 70-run knock would be a big boost for them. A lot of responsibility will be on the top three as MI looks to earn a win on Saturday.
