Mumbai, April 23: Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings will clash in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 match at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday. The two five times champions will collide in the most-anticipated match of the IPL 2026 season. MI captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and elected to bowl first in the biggest clash of the IPL 2026.
As per the data from the last 5 encounters, CSK dominates MI as they have won four out of the five matches and MI have managed to win only one. Both teams are searching for form, as they haven't been as consistent in winning matches as they used to be.
Mumbai Indians have managed to win their previous match after losing four-consecutive games. Jasprit Bumrah managed to get his first wicket in the five games he played for MI. His form would be a major concern for the five-times champions.
On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings is hit by injuries in the current IPL 2026 season. Suspense is still over the availability of their star player Mahendra Singh Dhoni as he has been rested for the first six matches of the tournament due to an injury.
