CSK vs MI Today Match Prediction

Kieron Pollard stood between CSK and the victory last time around when these two teams met in Delhi. He blasted 87 off 34 balls including 8 maximums and 6 boundaries and took his team home from nowhere. MS Dhoni had no clue whatsoever to stop the Caribbean captain and the likes of Shardul Thakur and Lungi Ngidi served pies towards the end.
