IPL Cricket Match Prediction 2024 | Match 29 | Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings – Will MI beat CSK for a third consecutive win in the season? | April 14
In the IPL 2024, Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will square off in game 29. On April 14, the match will take place at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium and will kick off at 7:30 PM IST.
The Mumbai Indians are riding high going into their El Clásico matchup with the Chennai Super Kings. After losing their opening three matches, MI struggled to get their campaign going. However, they have turned things around with consecutive victories over the Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore.
CSK, who had just beaten KKR, were also back on the winning track. In the two previous matches, the team had lost to the Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Delhi Capitals.
Both MI and CSK will know that they must give it their all to win the tournament because they cannot afford to lose any more points this early on. When the two most successful IPL teams square off on Sunday, it promises to be another exciting battle, much like the ones that have occurred in their prior meetings.
Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings Team Preview & Squads
Mumbai Indians
The Mumbai Indians have won their last two games, so it doesn’t appear like the winning formula needs to be changed. We are confident that Hardik Pandya will take on CSK with a tried-and-true lineup.
Ishan Kishan has improved recently in a few appearances. He lit up the RCB with a scorching 69 in 34 balls as MI easily defeated them. Hardik Pandya would hope that Kishan gives CSK his all in the upcoming game since the left-hander can be difficult to stop when he is in the zone. After a protracted absence, Suryakumar Yadav returned to the game with a bang, scoring a half-century off of 17 balls against the Royals. For the MI, Surya’s explosive start to the IPL 2024 is extremely encouraging because he is a player who can win a tournament by himself for a side.
Bumrah is the biggest match-winner for MI that there is. With a five-wicket haul that stunned the Royal Challengers Bangalore, the star MI bowler moved up to the top of the IPL 2024 wicket total leaderboard. With ten wickets taken at an economy of less than six, Bumrah has been outstanding. Because opponents have dismantled Coetzee, his tournament performance has not been as strong as Bumrah’s. The South African pacer, who is a formidable opponent, will be aiming for a big comeback against CSK, though.

Chennai Super Kings
Since spinners at Wankhede won’t get much support, CSK may decide to start Matheesha Pathirana in place of Maheesh Theekshana in the playing XI. Unless someone gets hurt before the game, the team shouldn’t make any further changes.
Even if Rachin Ravindra hasn’t hit yet, his presence at the crease gives us hope that a huge innings is on the horizon. Despite giving off an air of assurance and confidence, he hasn’t managed to record a high score. Shivam Dube has performed amazingly well. With 176 runs at an average of 44 and a strike rate of 160 in five games, he has lit the stage on fire. Up to 13 sixes have been struck by him in the competition so far, and even if Wankhede can make a few deliveries, he might not be big enough.
Although Ravindra Jadeja bowled a 3-18 stint against KKR, the environment at Wankhede Stadium is significantly different from what he is used to. Even though he doesn’t receive many turns, his accuracy and tempo changes might cause MI problems. He is also a useful hitter on the order. Change of pace has already proven to be effective in Twenty20 competitions. In four IPL 2024 games so far, Mustafizur Rahman has taken nine wickets, using it to his advantage. Against MI, he is going to be one of the most crucial players for CSK.
