On Saturday, the two most successful teams in the history of the IPL will go head-to-head as CSK will take on Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium. Both teams had a torrid IPL 2022, as MI finished rock-bottom while CSK were second from bottom. Often a fixture that never disappoints, the MI vs CSK is set to reignite the rivalry of the two biggest names in world cricket.
Mumbai will look to break the duck for wins this season having lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their first match of the season. On the flip side, CSK bounced back with a win in their second match, having lost to Gujarat Titans on the opening day of the season.
