The two teams who have won the Indian Premier League more times than anyone else face off as the legacy is on the line between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings on Wednesday.
Mumbai Indians are in the sixth spot and have lost two of the first three games played. The team will be looking to bounce back after a tough loss to Kings XI Punjab and that is a tough place to be in. They do have some of the best players in Rohit Sharma, Keiron Pollard, Quinton de Kock and Jasprit Bumrah. The pedigree of being a champion is clear in this franchise, but they have to perform or else will make things more difficult for the latter part of the season.
Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings are the leaders of the IPL this season as well, and the defending champions have started with a bang. They have some really aged players in the roster, but for some reason, the experience they possess puts them in a place of winning games easily. MS Dhoni too looks really good, and Captain Cool might just mastermind yet another victorious tournament for this franchise.
Match Details:
Venue – Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, India
Date & Time – 3rd April | 8:00 PM IST

This pitch is a batting friendly track and but also helps out the spinners who bowl in the second innings as the stadium is in the vicinity of the sea.
