Chennai Super Kings are at the bottom of the table. This is something unprecedented. MS Dhoni's CSK have just six points from 10 matches and with a negative nett run-rate. CSK are coming off a seven-wicket defeat against Rajasthan Royals. In that match, Chennai's batting didn't come off and the bowlers could not defend 125 runs against an inform Jos Buttler, whose 70 off 48 balls won the match for the Royals.
Mumbai Indians are also coming off a defeat. MI featured in the historic double Super Over against Kings XI Punjab in Dubai on Sunday (Oct 18). But that defeat will not flatten MI's morale, instead will make them hungrier for a win against CSK. MI have looked a solid team with enough depth and balance. The presence of quality all-rounders, Kieron Pollard and the Pandya brothers, give MI a great advantage.
