Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will square off against Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 49th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday (May 6). Notably, both CSK and MI faced each other once in IPL 2023, where Chennai emerged victorious by seven wickets.

As far as the previous matches of both teams are concerned, CSK’s last game against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) couldn’t be completed and was called off due to rain, whereas MI registered a comprehensive six-wicket victory over Punjab Kings (PBKS). All Moeen Ali, Maheesh Theekshana and Matheesha Pathirana picked up two wickets each for Chennai in their clash against LSG before the rain eventually halted the play. At the same time, Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav were the standout performers for Mumbai in their win over PBKS. While Ishan scored a brilliant 75 off 41 deliveries, Surya contributed quickfire 66 runs off 31 balls in the run chase.

CSK currently sit at the third spot of the IPL 2023 points table and will look to make their way into the top two by winning against Mumbai. On the other hand, MI are on the sixth position and will eye a place in the top five.
