Generally, this match is considered the mother of all matches in the IPL, the two most successful franchises with each other. But that spark will be missing when third-place Mumbai Indians (MI) meet last of the group, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in match 41 of the 2020 Indian Premier League (IPL) in Sharjah on 23 October.

Ambati Rayudu’s 71 in just 48 deliveries, along with Faf Du Plessis’ 58 in 44, helped CSK chase MI’s 162 of 9 in the opening match of the tournament in Abu Dhabi. But since then, CSK has seen a dramatic drop in performance. They have lost 4 of their last 5 games.

MI’s loss to Kings XI in the Super Over in Dubai was their first loss after five consecutive victories in the tournament. Quinton De Kock has been his best and most consistent 2020 IPL hitter, scoring 322 runs in 9 innings with a strike rate of 146.36. including 4 fifties. Patron, Rohit Sharma has not had the best of tournaments, he has not been at his best level of fluency, as indicated by his hit rate of 129.35. I could have saved the best for when it matters most. Kieron Pollard (200 strike index in 2020 IPL) and Hardik Pandya (160.78 strike index) are the game changers in the middle order for MI.
The bowling department looks very strong and balanced. After a slow start, Jasprit Bumrah has now gained 15 wickets in 9 matches with a strike rate of 14.4 and an economy of just under 7.5. He is the third biggest wicket catcher of the tournament. He has received excellent support from New Zealand pacemaker Trent Boult, who has also bagged 12 wickets in the competition. Rahul Chahar has been very impressive with the twist of his leg and has returned with 11 wickets at an economy rate of 7.4.

Super Kings of Chennai
CSK is in big trouble. To qualify for the playoffs, they need to win every game they have left and then hope that the outcome of several other games will go well for them as well. The three-time former champions have been very bad at IPL 2020 – batting has lacked the spark in the middle order and bowling has looked mediocre on most occasions. Faf Du Plessis has been his best hitter by a mile scoring 375 runs in 10 games with a strike rate of 141.5. Shane Watson has had a few runs, but he’s been far from his destructive best, as his 125 hit rate suggests. MS Dhoni has been poor in the middle order. He hasn’t managed to provide the flourish by hitting first and he hasn’t been able to chase after goals either – his hit rate of 125.19 has been very disappointing! Kedar Jadhav just scored 62 runs in 5 innings, but he still finds a spot in XI.
Deepak Chahar and Sam Curran have chosen 10 wickets each and have been the best bowlers for CSK at IPL 2020. The Indian sprinter has also been very economical, conceding at a rate of just 7.1 over. Ravindra Jadeja has been very expensive and has conceded 9.34 runs per over.
