CSK vs MI Dream11 Match Prediction FREE TEAMS Today IPL Match 23 October

CSK vs MI Dream11 Prediction: Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians have gone in exact opposite ways from the result in their opening night fixture. They are set to go against each other in completely different mindsets today at Sharjah. MI are sitting comfortably with regards to their play-offs chances while CSK will have a mountain to climb if they are to qualify for the last 4. We will preview CSK vs MI Dream11 contest.

Chennai Super Kings faced yet another disappointment against Rajasthan Royals in their last match. Batting first, CSK batsmen never really got going in sluggish Abu Dhabi conditions. They lost Faf du Plessis and Shane Watson very early and those wickets pegged them back very badly. MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja had a half-century stand but it was painfully slow by T20 standards. As a result, CSK were only restricted to a total of 125 runs. In bowling, Deepak Chahar and Josh Hazlewood began brilliantly and knocked over RR top order for just 28 runs. But as other bowlers failed to back them up, it was always a difficult task to defend 125 runs. Jos Buttler and Steve Smith ensured RR’s victory by 7 wickets in the end.

On the other hand, Mumbai Indians are also coming off from a draining loss against Kings XI Punjab. Batting first, MI lost 3 for just 28 runs but they again showed their batting depth as Krunal Pandya and Quinton de Kock stitched together a rearguard partnership. Quinton de Kock made 53 before Kieron Pollard and Nathan Coulter-Nile took over for some late hitting. Both propelled MI to a score of 176 runs. In bowling, KXIP were looking like taking the match away from MI in the middle overs. With KL Rahul firing on all cylinders, MI needed something special to remain in the match. Jasprit Bumrah and Rahul Chahar obliged with 3 & 2 scalps respectively as match ended in a nail-biting tie. The first super over also ended with both the sides on same scores. In the second super over, KXIP chased down 12 runs to register a win.

In head-to-head comparisons of one of the traditional rivalries in IPL, Mumbai Indians have been more dominant side with 18 wins over CSK from 31 matches played between them. On 13 occasions, CSK have got better of their Mumbai counterparts. In last 5 encounters, MI have been even more ruthless with a 4-1 lead. In the opening match of this season, CSK chased down a total of 162 runs to beat MI for the first time after 2018.  

Pitch and Conditions

The match will be played at Sharjah where you can expect plenty of runs due to shorter boundaries. The scores have gone downwards here as well because of tired surfaces. A fresh pitch will be in use today and should hold good for the whole match. We can expect captains batting first after winning the toss today.

Captain Picks

For Small Leagues

• Sam Curran is a handy option for the captaincy position from CSK today. He hasn’t taken world by storm with his opening batting but he is likely get more opportunities at the top. He is joint highest wicket-taker for CSK this year with 10 wickets from as many matches.
• Quinton de Kock emerges as a favorable option keeping in mind his recent form. He is the leading run-scorer by some distance for MI with 322 runs this year till now. He is fresh from three consecutive half-centuries: 53, 78* & 53 in last 3 outings.
• Jasprit Bumrah will have a challenge in his hands to restrict CSK at a venue like Sharjah. But he is someone who always enjoys these battles. He was hot and cold in the initial half of the season but has found his mojo back in last couple of matches. He has taken 15 wickets from 9 matches at an average of 17.86 this year.

For Grand Leagues

• Ambati Rayudu was the hero for CSK when they beat MI in the first fixture this year. He played a valuable knock of 71 runs in a tough chase and countered MI bowlers to perfection. Also in the last match at Sharjah, he played a cameo of 45* against Delhi Capitals.
• Faf du Plessis has gone from strength to strength this year with his performances. His tally of 375 runs from 10 innings only confirms his domination in CSK batting lineup. He also played the supporting act to Ambati Rayudu with 58* in the last meeting against MI.
• Suryakumar Yadav has been in terrific touch and we can expect an innings of substance by any time from him. He would be disappointed with the fact that he has failed to convert plenty of starts so far but should be looking to make most of his form in business end of the season. He has 243 runs from 9 innings at an average of 30.37 runs per innings.
