The Super Kings are on top of the points table after stringing together five straight victories in six outings.
The two most successful teams in IPL history are going to face off for the first time in IPL 2021, and everyone is going to be pumped to see this contest. Mumbai Indians (MI) got back to winning ways after a tough opening leg in Chennai, while Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are back to their best and winning consistently. In some ways, the winner of this match will be seen as the favourite for the title moving forward even though it is still early in the IPL to talk about such stuff!
The conditions in Delhi have been batting friendly so far and we have seen two very good performances from MI and CSK in the lead-up to this match. MI are not shy of making changes to its team based on potential matchups, while CSK like to keep things stable in its camp. It will be interesting to see if there are any team changes ahead of this match.
The IPL 2021 encounter between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings is going to be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi on the 1st of May 2021.
