Sunday night is going to be an exciting one for the IPL fans. Two of the most decorated IPL teams in history are all set to collide against each other in match 38 of the Tata IPL 2025. We are talking about Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings, who are all set to lock horns at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Mumbai Indians have stormed back into form with two wins on the trot now. Placed 7th on the table, Mumbai Indians have managed to win 3 games so far out of 7 and are looking better with every game they play. They are heading into this contest on the back of a win over Sunrisers Hyderabad by 4 wickets.
As far as the Chennai Super Kings are concerned, despite winning their last game against LSG by 5 wickets, the team still looks unsettled, especially in their batting. The team needs to up the ante in their batting from top to bottom to give themselves a chance of lasting deep in the tournament, especially now when we have almost reached the half-way stage.
Let’s delve deeper into this post for the MI vs CSK Dream11 Prediction.

MI vs CSK Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, Pitch Report
For IPL 2025 Match 38 between CSK and MI, the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is expected to bring back its trademark batting-friendly conditions. Unlike the previous game, which had a two-paced pitch aiding both seamers and spinners, this time the track is likely to favor the batters. While the new ball might offer some movement for pacers early on, batters should find their rhythm once they settle in. Spinners could get some assistance initially, but the impact of dew later in the game might reduce their effectiveness. A first-innings total around 180-190 could be a solid target to defend. The temperature will be fine, hovering between 30°C and 32°C, and no rain is expected.
