Preview

It is that time of the season once again as the most followed rivalry in franchise cricket is going to happen at Sharjah. Chennai are taking on Mumbai for the second time this season and desperately need a win to remain alive in the competition. A defeat at Sharjah will push Chennai out of the tournament. They not only have to get the two points from all the games but have to win them by big margins.

At the moment, Chennai are at the bottom of the table with only three wins in ten games. Their batting has been the main concern this season. Ravindra Jadeja has played a couple of good knocks but has proved to be not enough for his team at the end. Their bowling arguably has done relatively well but failed to execute in the most important moments. Irrespective of the situation, Chennai would like to make it two in a row against Mumbai this season.

On the other side, Mumbai would want a win from here to make sure their spot in the top two of the points table. They lost another Super Over this season but are in a pretty decent position with 6 wins in 9 games. They have the best NRR which reflects their domination in the league so far. Their combination has been top notch and would like to continue with the same XI against Chennai.

However, Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan have injury concerns and might miss out the next fixture against Chennai. Overall, they have all bases covered and are coming into this match as hot favourites to take the two points.
