Mumbai Indians v Chennai Super Kings – Match Preview

Chennai are in excellent form but it is Mumbai that have enjoyed the most success in this fixture.

Rohit Sharma’s men have won nine of the last 12 meetings.

Where: Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi

When: Saturday, 01 May 2021

Start time: 19:30 IST (14:00 GMT)

Pitch conditions: This venue favours pace off and spin bowling due to its slow track. The ball hasn’t been coming onto the bat in recent clashes and anything above 170 looks competitive.

Weather conditions: It is going to be another hot day in Delhi. Rain is very unlikely and temperatures will be around the 40-degree mark.

Mumbai Indians v Chennai Super Kings – Team News

• Rahul Chahar – The Mumbai spinner took two wickets against Rajasthan in the last game and should enjoy conditions again in this one.
• Quinton de Kock – The South African opener has struggled for runs this IPL but bounced back to form with an unbeaten 70 in 50 balls in the previous outing. He will be keen for another positive start.
• Jasprit Bumrah – The pace bowler hasn’t been picking up a flurry of wickets but has been bowling with superb economy and chalking up the dot balls for good measure.
• Faf du Plessis – The experienced campaigner has really hit form recently and bagged more runs against SRH in the previous game.
• Ravindra Jadeja – The all-rounder has been in the thick of the action lately. Runs, wickets and catches have all come his way and CSK will need more from him here.

Mumbai Indians v Chennai Super Kings – Betting Tips and Prediction

Chennai have done really well so far this IPL and will be eyeing the play-offs now.

However, Mumbai could just be starting to find their feet again and will pose a very tough challenge.

Given how close this could be and the short price of Mumbai, looking at other markets is a better way of finding value.

De Kock to Beat Rohit to 10 Runs

Quinton de Kock stormed back to form with a blistering 70 in the last game.

The South African had been struggling but finally added runs in a positive manner.

He will likely start fast again at this same venue, so backing him to beat Rohit in the race to 10 runs looks a great bet.

He is priced at 2.05 with 22Bet to make a faster start than his skipper.

Chahar is Value Top Bowler Bet

Rahul Chahar has been excellent so far this IPL and keeps taking wickets no matter what venue he is playing at.

He bagged two more in the previous game at this venue and he looks a value pick in the top Mumbai bowler market.

His price of 3.6 with bet365 is appealing given his recent record.

Moeen for Player of the Match

England all-rounder Moeen Ali has been enjoying his stint at number three in this CSK side.

He hasn’t yet kicked on with the bat after getting a few starts but does look ready for a big score soon.

He also has the ability to take wickets with his spin bowling at this venue.

Should Chennai continue their good start with a victory in this game and Moeen plays a key role then there is a chance he’ll be named player of the match.

It is a longshot bet but his price of 12.0 with 22Bet looks worth considering.
