IPL 2023: Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings, 12th Match IPL 2023

ipl-2023-mumbai-indians-vs-chennai-super-kings-12th-match-ipl-2023

The MI VS CSK games are bound to be high-intensity matches. Both teams have the best players and have a legacy associated with them. Over the years, we have seen both teams lock horns and have some of the most memorable matches. We have seen interesting player battles like Jasprit Bumrah VS MS Dhoni, and we have also seen Kieron Pollard VS Dwayne Bravo. Not to forget Suresh Raina VS Lasith Malinga and Hardik Pandya VS Ravindra Jadeja. These are players that have bought the brand value of the IPL. So, which are the key battles this time around in the MI VS CSK game? Here is an in-depth look:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Jofra Archer VS Ruturaj Gaikwad will be on Display in the MI VS CSK game:</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Jofra-Archer.jpg" alt="MI VS CSK Jofra Archer" class="wp-image-98138" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Archer did make a comeback, but he was nowhere near the Archer of 2019. IMG SRC: Mumbai Indians.</figcaption></figure>



Jofra Archer will test the young blood of Ruturaj Gaikwad. It will be great to see Gaikwad handle the express pace that he hasn?t seen in the domestic circuit. The Indian domestic bowlers' bowl at 135 kmph at the maximum. But Archer is clocking 145 to 150 clicks and this will test Gaikwad. Gaikwad on the other hand is in the form of his life. 



He has had a great start to the TATA IPL. He has scored 149 runs so far. He has got the fifties in both the games that he has played. Jofra had a poor first game but will be keen to make a comeback. Ruturaj will be rooting to drive Archer through the covers in the MI VS CSK game on Sunday.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rohit Sharma VS Moeen Ali will be on Display in the MI VS CSK Game:</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Moeen-Ali-CSK-1.jpg" alt="MI VS CSK TATA IPL 2023 Moeen Ali" class="wp-image-87141" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Moeen Ali Spun a web against the Lucknow Super Giants. He bagged 4 wickets. IMG SRC: CSK</figcaption></figure>



It is a universal truth that Rohit Sharma struggles big time against spinners in the powerplay. Over the years, all the spinners have troubled him. Samuel Badree, Yuzi Chahal, and Kuldeep Yadav have dismissed him more than once in the powerplay. MS Dhoni, knowing this trick in the book, can certainly try Moeen Ali in the powerplay. 



Moeen Ali has had two great games with the ball. He has grabbed 5 wickets so far. Ali is bowling in the right areas and the pitch will offer him help too. The game is going to be played at the Wankhede, the red soil pitch will offer turn and bounce to Ali. The MI VS CSK game will be great if we witness this conquest.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Suryakumar Yadav VS Deepak Chahar:</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Suryakumar-Yadav_11zon-2-1024x576.jpeg" alt="Suryakumar Yadav MI VS CSK" class="wp-image-105712" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Post a string of ducks in the recently concluded India VS Australia ODI series, Surya is looking to get back in the groove. IMG SRC: BCCI</figcaption></figure>



Suryakumar Yadav is not in the best phase of his career. After dominating the entire 2022 season, his trough has arrived. But Surya is a champion and he will certainly find a way out of this. Yadav generally doesn?t struggle against the Pacers as he likes it when the ball comes onto the bat. But the swing of Deepak Chahar can put him in a spot of bother. 



Chahar dismissed him on a few occasions earlier. And with Chahar bowling at 130 to 135 kmph, Surya cannot play the ramp shots as they will end up in the hands of the third man or fine-leg. The way to get runs of Chahar is by driving him through the covers. But this gives them a chance for Chahar to earn his wicket by getting the edge. It will be a fierce contest between them in the MI VS CSK game.

Reigning champions Chennai Super Kings secured an easy 20 runs victory in a high scoring game against arch rivals Mumbai Indians in the 29th match of the 2024 Tata Indian Premier League on 14th April.



The game took place at the iconic Wankhede Stadium of Mumbai and the duo of skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad (69 runs in 40 balls) and Shivam Dube (66*runs in 38 balls)&nbsp; played brilliant knocks before the legendary MS Dhoni entertained the completely packed Wankhede crowd with three consecutive maximums off the bowling of Hardik Pandya in the final over of the CSK inning as the visitors posted a competitive total of 206-4.



In reply, Rohit Sharma (105*runs in 63 balls) brought up his second IPL century and shared a couple of good partnerships with wicket - keeper batter Ishan Kishan (23 runs 15 balls) and Tilak Verma (31 runs in 20 balls). But, the Mumbai based franchise fell short by 20 runs as they failed to find an answer to the brilliance of CSK pacer Matheesha Pathirana (4-28).



Interestingly, the El Clasico between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings on 14th April was the only match the two rivals were scheduled to play against each other for now as no other matches are scheduled to take place between them in the league phase.

<h2>Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report</h2>
In the forthcoming Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings match, the pitch is likely to support the bowlers, of course, this stadium has a history of big scores but today the situation can be the opposite. Here spinners will dominate as compared to fast bowlers. A score of 190 can be considered good while batting first.
However, the powerplay will be important, here the team will have to focus on scoring more runs. Dew will play an important role, so winning the toss and choosing to bowl first here will be the right decision. Batting in the second innings will be easier than the first innings.

Tonight’s high-voltage MI vs CSK clash at Wankhede (7:30 PM) reignites the Dhoni-Hardik rivalry. CSK (2 wins/7 matches) started strong but slumped before Dhoni’s captaincy return brought a recent win, while MI (3 wins/7 matches) sit slightly higher. Wankhede’s stats favor chasing teams (64 wins vs 55 batting first), with dew often decisive. Though known for big scores (record: RCB’s 235 in 2015), today’s pitch may assist spinners, making 190 a par score. Toss could be crucial—bowling first may prove advantageous.

The second match of the double-header between arch-rivals Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will take place tonight at 7:30 PM at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium. This IPL clash, featuring the iconic Guru-Shishya rivalry between captains MS Dhoni and Hardik Pandya, is one of the league's most anticipated encounters. CSK, who won their first match against MI this season, struggled afterward with five consecutive losses before Dhoni reclaimed the captaincy and led them to a recent victory. Currently, they sit at the bottom of the table with just two wins in seven matches. MI, meanwhile, have fared slightly better with three wins in seven games and are placed seventh.  

Wankhede Stadium, MI’s home ground, has hosted 119 IPL matches, with teams chasing winning 64 times compared to 55 wins for those batting first. The toss has been crucial, with the winning side claiming victory in 62 matches. The venue has seen high-scoring games, including RCB’s record 235-run total in 2015, featuring AB de Villiers’ 133—the highest individual score here. The best bowling figures belong to Wanindu Hasaranga and Harbhajan Singh (both 5-18). However, today’s pitch is expected to favor bowlers, particularly spinners, with dew likely making chasing advantageous. A competitive first-innings score could be around 190, but the powerplay and toss decision will play pivotal roles in the outcome.

<h2>MI vs CSK Playing 11 Prediction </h2>
The command of Chennai Super Kings is now in the hands of MS Dhoni and in the last league match, he defeated Lucknow on their home ground. CSK's morale will be high after the victory in the last match. At the same time, a match has been played between CSK and Mumbai in this season in which Hardik Pandya 's team was defeated. That means CSK will be eyeing victory in this match as well. By the way, Mumbai played its last match against Hyderabad at Wankhede and won that match by 4 wickets.
MS Dhoni is seen in a different rhythm after becoming the captain of CSK. He performed brilliantly behind the stumps against Lucknow. After this, he batted well while finishing the match and is playing brilliantly. However, Dhoni was seen struggling with his knee injury after the last match and this can become a problem for him. Talking about Mumbai, Will Jacks' all-round performance against Hyderabad was quite impressive.
<h2>MI Playing 11 Prediction </h2>
The position of Chennai Super Kings in the points table is not good at all because this team is currently in the 10th position with 4 points. CSK has won 2 out of the 7 matches played so far and has lost 5 matches. Mumbai is in a better position right now and this team has won 3 out of 7 matches and lost 4 matches. MI have 6 points and this team is currently in the 7th position in the overall standings.
<h2>CSK Playing 11 Prediction </h2>
Mumbai had preferred a slow pitch to stop Hyderabad in the last match, but CSK's batsmen are not that explosive. However, this team has players like Rachin, so Bumrah can be effective in stopping him. Mumbai also has explosive batsmen like Rohit, so Dhoni will try to stop them as quickly as possible. Batsmen like Suryakumar, Tilak Verma, Ryan Rickelton can prove to be fatal for CSK. These are the probable playing XI of Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK)
CSK Probable XII- Sheik Rasheed, Rachin Ravindra, Rahul Tripathi, Shivam Dube, Vijay Shankar, Ravindra Jadeja, Jamie Overton, MS Dhoni (Captain and wicketkeeper), Anshul Kamboj, Noor Ahmed, Khaleel Ahmed and Mathisha Pathirana.
Mumbai's Probable XII: Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton (WK), Will Jacks, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (Captain), Naman Dhir, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah and Vignesh Puthur.

Will Mahi not play in the next match versus Mumbai</a>

Tonight's MI vs CSK clash at Wankhede sees Dhoni's resurgent CSK (2 wins/7 matches) take on Hardik's MI (3 wins/7 matches) in a crucial encounter. Fresh off a win, CSK will rely on Dhoni's leadership despite his fitness concerns, while MI aims to capitalize on home advantage after their Hyderabad victory. The pitch may assist spinners, with 190 being a competitive total, while dew could make chasing advantageous. Key battles include Bumrah's powerplay threat against CSK's top order and Dhoni's tactical duel with Hardik. With both teams fighting for playoff contention, this rivalry match promises high intensity.

The 38th match of IPL 2025 will see Mumbai Indians (MI) host Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Wankhede Stadium, marking their first clash this season under MS Dhoni’s captaincy. CSK, fresh off a morale-boosting win against Lucknow, will aim to replicate their earlier victory over MI this season. However, Mumbai, coming off a 4-wicket win against Hyderabad, will look to continue their momentum.

CSK, currently 10th with just 2 wins in 7 matches, faces an uphill battle, while MI (7th with 3 wins) holds a slight edge. Dhoni’s leadership and form—both with the gloves and bat—have been bright spots, though his knee injury remains a concern. For MI, Will Jacks’ all-round display against Hyderabad was key.

The pitch, which Mumbai slowed down to counter Hyderabad, may see tweaks against CSK’s less explosive batting. Key battles include Bumrah vs. Rachin Ravindra and CSK’s bowlers trying to contain Rohit, Suryakumar, and Tilak.
