In 41st match of Indian Premier League 2020 (IPL 2020), arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI) will lock horns at Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Friday.
CSK vs MI head to head
Total matches: 29
CSK won: 12
MI won: 17
No result: 0
CSK scored a convincing win over MI at the IPL 2020 opening match, but a lot has changed since then. MI is almost ready for the playoffs as it is third on the IPL 2020 points table with six wins in nine matches. In contrast, CSK is bottom of the standings with three wins in 10 matches.
On top of that, Dwayne Bravo’s injury contributed to CSK’s suffering as the team struggled with inconsistencies and muted performances. In fact, MS Dhoni seemed to have broken up in the middle of the action.
MI will be the favourites with most of the players in great shape this season. They also have the most popular bowling attacks, and the gloomy cranky CSK batsmen can get tricky in Sharjah.
CSK will be looking for life to survive the tournament but losing here nearly closed the doors to the playoffs for them.

IPL 2020, 41st Match: CSK vs. MI Pitch Report
In the last match in Sharjah between DC and CSK, we saw the batsmen from Chennai struggling to achieve the big. The pitch has slowed down and a 200 plus payoff looks unlikely. It seems 170-180 should be a good total.
