Chennai Super Kings Form

The Super Kings finished their 2024 League campaign with a 27-run loss to the Royal Challengers that cost them a place in the playoffs.

Royal Challenges piled on 218/5 off their 20 overs. Shardul Thakur (2/61) was the best of the Super Kings bowlers.

The Super Kings were struggling at 119/5 despite an excellent 61 off 37 balls from Rachin Ravindra. Ravindra Jadeja hit three sixes in his 42 off 22 balls to keep his side in the hunt, but they could only reach 191/7 off their 20 overs.

Chennai Super Kings Team News

The Super Kings have put together a strong squad that should have the beating of what looks like a competitive Mumbai side.

Mumbai Indians Form

Mumbai last four of their last five league games last season, including the last two against the Knight Riders and the Super Giants.

The Super Giants crushed the Mumbai attack in posting 214/6 off their 20 overs. Nuwan Thushara (3/28) and Piyush Chawla (3/29) shared the wickets for Mumbai.

Rohit Sharma got the chase off to a flying start, smashing 68 off 38 balls, but after 14.2 overs Mumbai were in huge trouble at 120/5. Naman Dhir played an heroic innings of 62* off 28 balls, including four fours and five sixes that lifted them to 196/6 off their 20 overs.

Mumbai Indians Team News

Mumbai have some quality batters in form and should give the Super Kings a tough challenge in their opening match of the 2025 IPL season.

Verdict

Chennai Super Kings v Mumbai Indians

I am backing Chennai Super Kings to win. I am also backing Rachin Ravindra to top score for Chennai Super Kings.

Ryan Rickelton is a good bet to top score for the Mumbai Indians.
