Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings (MI vs CSK) Today Match Prediction Preview:
Welcome to the MI vs CSK Today Prediction curated by Kheltalk cricket experts. Chennai Super Kings will face their fierce rivals Mumbai Indians in the 33rd match of the TATA IPL, 2022 on Thursday, 21st April 2022 at the DY Patil Stadium. Keep on reading for more information on the MI vs. CSK game.
Both Mumbai and Chennai are sailing in the same boat and are having one of their worst seasons in history. Mumbai sits at the last spot while Chennai is accompanying them at 2nd last spot. Both teams are struggling to find balance in the team but Mumbai is in more severe condition. They have been bullied by the team many times this season and it is their bowling lineup that has been tonked by batters again and again.
Mumbai can’t do much to fix their problems as options available on their bench are also limited and need to come up with a new strategy to rejuvenate their season. While Chennai had some close games this season and would consider themselves unlucky for their current situation. Ravindra Jadeja has been under pressure because of his captaincy and hasn’t performed up to his standards this season. Ruturaj Gaikwad has also come back to form which is a good sign for Chennai in their hunt to defend the title.
Mumbai is yet to open their account this season and Rohit himself is yet to cross the 50 runs mark. Both teams are under supreme pressure and if we talk about their past history then Mumbai has been dominant since 2019 with 6 wins from 8 clashes.

MI vs CSK Today Match Prediction, IPL 2022, Who Will Win the Match?
CSK to win
Chennai Super Kings have started to pick up their pace after clinching the first points in the table. Although they lost the last match but dominated the game for a long time. Maheesh Theekshana has been a revolution for them and his mystery spin could also help them against Mumbai who has struggled against spinners. Ruturaj Gaikwad has also returned to form which is an alarming sign for other teams. We think Chennai Super Kings will win this clash against Mumbai Indians.
