Mumbai Indians take on Chennai Super Kings in a must-win IPL clash on May 2 in Chennai as the playoff race intensifies. While CSK sit sixth with six points, MI have just four from eight matches and need a turnaround. Their struggling bowling attack remains a concern, while CSK will bank on home conditions to strengthen their playoff push.
Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings will lock horns in a must win IPL clash at the MA Chidambaram Stadium at Chepauk, here on Saturday, with the fight for the all-important Playoffs getting hotter by the day.
The Ruturaj Gaikwad-led Super Kings do have a slight edge over the Mumbai Indians with six points from eight matches and have a relatively better chance of making it to the top four from their current sixth place.
Hardik Pandya’s Mumbai Indians are in all sorts of trouble with just two wins and six defeats and a cumulative four points giving them only a mathematical possibility of making it to the Playoffs if they win their remaining six matches and some other results go in their favour.
Pandya and Co will not be pleased with the situation they find themselves in but the five-time champions from the ‘City of Dreams’ have only themselves to blame after an insipid bowling effort throughout the tournament with big guns like Jasprit Bumrah, Pandya, Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar all struggling.
