IPL 2025: MI prepare to settle the score with CSK

Mumbai Indians, who are riding a wave of momentum, are gearing up to host Chennai Super Kings on Sunday at the Wankhede Stadium. With back-to-back wins under their belt, MI are eyeing a third successive victory — a feat that would further boost their turnaround this season. This encounter marks the second fixture for both sides, having seen each other in the third match of the tournament, where CSK stunned MI with a clinical 4-wicket win. Now, with form and home advantage on their side, MI will be hungry for revenge and eager to settle the score.

Over their last two matches, MI have looked like a rejuvenated side. Their bowlers have found rhythm, and key batters are beginning to step up. They’ll be aiming to continue this upward trajectory and build further momentum heading into the business end of the campaign.

On the other hand, CSK have struggled to find consistency. Their season so far has been a tale of woe, with batting woes plaguing their performances. Despite possessing talent on paper, the top and middle order have failed to fire in unison, putting extra pressure on their bowling attack. However, they arrive in Mumbai on the back of a confidence-boosting win in their last outing against LSG.
