CSK vs MI Match Prediction: It is a match between the two most successful teams of IPL, Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians. They are going to face each other at MA. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai (Chepauk) on May 6th, 2023.
Chennai Super Kings missed out on 2 points chance due to rain interruption because they stopped Lucknow Super Giants at low scores, but the match was called off due to the weather condition.
Once again, Moeen Ali took the wicket of Kyle Mayers in the same way that he did in the last game against him. He also took the sharp catch of debut Karan Sharma on his own bowling. Rahane’s slip catch was one of the best catches of the tournament, which made Krunal Pandya go back to the dugout on a golden duck.
The good news for the Chennai team was that Deepak Chahar came back after an injury he got in the 2nd match. However, he was expensive and gave away 41 runs in 4 overs.
The biggest highlight of the match was when Danny Morrison asked Dhoni how he was enjoying his farewell support. In reply, Dhoni said:- It’s you who decided that it will be my last IPL, not me, which made the whole crowd go crazy, but it was a humor thing from MS Dhoni.
Mumbai Indians once again won the high-scoring match while chasing a total of more than 200 score mark. It was a record-breaking chase on Mohali ground, and it was a whole team contribution except for Rohit Sharma, who got out on a duck.
Mumbai Indians also have the habit of performing in the 2nd half of the IPL after performing badly in the first half. From the 2nd at the bottom of the points table, they climbed up to 6th at the table. They won their last two matches now, which was against the odds for them, but their middle order started to score runs and give them the results they needed.
Mumbai Indian’s bowling was bad news for them and has been one of the major issues this season of IPL 2023. After the match, Mumbai Indian’s social media gave a banter back to Punjab Kings, an ongoing social media fight between Mumbai and Punjab teams.

The pitch of MA Chidambaram Stadium ( Chepauk Stadium) is suitable for spin bowlers and has always helped spinners in the past, but recently, the pitch has shown a neutral nature for bowlers and batsmen. This year it is amazing to see how Cheapuk Ground gave more runs compared to last season.
In the last match between Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings, the game was a high-scoring thriller in which Punjab Kings won the match on the last ball when they needed 3 from that ball. The pitch did offer a turn for the spin bowlers. Batters also enjoyed the pitch as the ball was coming to the bat perfectly without any double-pace bounce.
Team Preview of Chennai Super Kings
Chennai Super Kings are in the 3rd spot of the points table with 5 wins, 4 losses, and a draw which is rare in IPL. The team is doing well in all departments. There are not much of big issues for the team as everyone is doing their role quite well.
On the pitches like Chepauk, Chennai Super Kings bowlers thrives because non of them are super fast bowlers. Most of them are intelligent and experienced bowlers who bowl according to the condition of the game.
Deepak Chahar’s inclusion in the last match was out of the blue news for the fans of Chennai because he did wonders for the team over the past years. Matheesha Pathirana started to bowl better, and the death bowling skill of his making difficult for the opposition to hit runs against him.
MS Dhoni is concerned about the middle overs phases where Chennai Super Kings are not delivering constantly. They are leaking many runs, and Tushar Deshpande is one of the bowlers who is just giving away too many runs even though he is the highest wicket-taker.
Ravindra Jadeja’s batting is not as deadly as it was in the past seasons of IPL, which is a big concern because he is one of the important players who are in the team to hit some big sixes. However, his bowling has been amazing as, till now, he has taken 14 wickets, and the economy rate is also just around 7, which is an amazing economy for any bowler in the T20 format. In the last match, he also bowled the best delivery of the IPL 2023, which made Marcus Stoinis stunned.
It is going to be a tough match against the Mumbai Indians in their next match because they are in the top form right now, chasing down the 200 mark, and their finishers are really playing well, which can be a huge concern for the Chennai bowlers as they are not able to bowl better in the death overs.
Chennai Super Kings suffered 2 losses and a draw in their last 3, which unsettled them in the playoff position. The challenge will be huge for MS Dhoni, and to get the result on his side, he needs to come up with a better plan.
Team Preview of Mumbai Indians
Mumbai Indians once again showed their fightback ability in the IPL, and now they are climbing up in the points table. They will be eager to play against the Chennai Super Kings side, who defeated them in the last match by 7 wickets at Wankadhe Stadium.
Mumbai’s Middle order and finishers are in form and showing their class which is a huge boost for the Mumbai Indians side, but the bowling unit has been poor for them as in the last match also, they conceded 200+ runs, and it was their fourth consecutive match in which the opposition scored 200+ runs.
Rohit Sharma also pointed out this problem in the post-match presentation after Punjab Kings match.
we need to think how to shut down overs. Three to four games we have conceded more than 200. When the pressure is on, you need to execute what is best for you.
Rohit Sharma said in the Post Match Presentation.
Suryakumar Yadav is back in his own style and form after being silent for a few months. The way Rohit Sharma backed Suryakumar Yadav even when he scored 4 ducks in a row is commendable trust in your player.
Ishan Kishan, at last, showed his hitting ability and played a match-winning knock of 75 runs in 41 balls. The way he wacked the spinners out of the ground was an amazing watch for all the fans. Tilak Varma also showed his power hitting shots, and he was the one who hit a six when Mumbai Indians needed 5 runs in 8 balls. It was a 103-meter six straight down the ground.
The wicket was too good for batting, I kept for 20 overs and knew the wicket was good. If it is in my arc, I will go for it. He (Rishi) was swinging the ball, I thought of stepping out as the keeper wasn’t near. The message was to watch the ball and hit
Ishan Kishan Said in the Post Match Presentation.
The only concern is will Ishan Kishan be able to keep this type of performance up in every match of IPL 2023 or if he once again goes into playing rash shots without any real intent behind them.
Jofra Archer is not performing at all and has been very expensive with the economy rate. In the last match, Jofra conceded 56 runs in 4 overs without any wickets. The bowling unit not performing at all in any match except Piyush Chawla no one is taking wickets regularly with a good economy.
If the pitch of MA. Chidambaram is going to favor the spinners. Then it will be hard for Mumbai Indians batter to score runs because they are more used to playing on the batting-friendly pitch. They need to pick the right bowlers for the next match, and they can give a chance to Chris Jordon or Duan Jansen.
