Head to Head
CSK have won five of the last six in this rivalry and two of the last two at Chepauk. The $2.10 is too good to ignore.
MI lead the all-time series 21-18 across 39 meetings but the recent trend has swung firmly towards CSK. They won four straight from 2023 before MI broke through with a nine-wicket demolition at the Wankhede in 2025, and then CSK won again by 20 runs in the season opener. At this ground specifically, MI have won five times but CSK have the clear home advantage with batting-friendly conditions and a spinning surface in the evening.
Neither Dhoni nor Rohit is expected to play, which reduces the star factor. MI have conceded at 10.83 an over this season, the worst economy rate in the competition. CSK’s Hosein took four wickets in their last meeting at the Wankhede and Boult has dismissed both Samson and Gaikwad three times each.
On a pitch where PBKS chased 210 with an over to spare earlier this season, the bowlers will need to fire and CSK’s attack, led by Hosein and Kamboj, look in better form than their opponents.
Back the home side.
Best Bet
Samson has two tons and a 48 this season and is one of the form batters of the tournament. Boult has dismissed him three times in eight innings but MI’s bowling outside Bumrah has been the competition’s most expensive. On a true Chepauk surface in a must-win game, Samson is a good play.
Value Bet
Hosein took 4 for 17 against MI at the Wankhede and leads all spinners this season with an average of 18.16. He has Rickelton and Will Jacks as fresh targets at the top of MI’s order, both right-handers vulnerable to spin. The conditions should suit too. Great bet.
