MI vs CSK: Match prediction
CSK are placed in the ninth spot in the points table and they have lost their last match against the new entrant Gujarat Titans. They have lost five matches – against GT, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Punjab Kings, Lucknow Super Giants, and Kolkata Knight Riders. Their sole victory came against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Similarly, LSG have lost their all previous six matches against, LSG, PBKS, RCB, KKR, RR, and DC. Rohit Sharma isn’t in a great form and wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan. Players like Suryakumar Yadav, Dewald Brevis, and Tilak Varma have been consistent performers for the five-time champions. In the next match, CSK have a better chance to win.
