Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians prediction

The Chennai Super Kings come into this one on the back of an eight-wicket hammering at the hands of the Gujarat Titans. That means that CSK have won three and lost five of their eight matches as they sit in the middle-of-the-table.

They now face a Mumbai Indians side that have won just two as they struggle quite badly in the 2026 IPL campaign. MI posted 243-5 against Sunrisers Hyderabad the other day but they succumbed to a six-wicket defeat in 18.4 overs.

The lack of Mitchell Santner, who has had to be replaced by Keshav Maharaj due to an injury sustained against CSK, is a big blow for MI, failing to contain whatsoever through the middle overs and siding with CSK, albeit inconsistent, would appear the way to go for this one.
