CSK have been a consistent side over the years and have made it to the last-four stage every single season. Therefore it was no surprise when the MS Dhoni-led team became the first team to book a berth in the Playoffs this season too.
Though the two-time champions finished the league stage at the top of the table, the odds will be certainly be against them – for they will be playing in the Mumbai Indians’ den, will be missing the services of their top run-getter, and need to improve their dismal away run.
The Mumbai Indians’ journey this season has been incredible, almost rising like phoenix from the ashes. Their campaign started off with four successive defeats, following which they won seven of their last eight matches to finish the league season in commanding fashion and finish second in the standings.
In their most recent outing – in a do-or-die contest against Sunrisers Hyderabad – MI showcased their best performance of the season, destroying their opponents for 113 and then chased down the runs in clinical fashion winning by nine wickets with more than six overs to spare.
MI certainly have the momentum, will be playing in their backyard and given the crowd will be behind them will be a difficult opposition to tame.
