Chennai Super Kings comfortably chased down a 160-run target in just 18.1 overs on Saturday (May 2), sealing an impressive eight-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians in front of their home crowd. The win lifted CSK to eight points in IPL 2026, moving them up to sixth place in the standings. In contrast, Mumbai Indians slipped to the bottom of the table at 10th, with only four points from nine games.
This loss has dealt a major blow to MI’s playoff hopes. Even if they manage to win their remaining five matches, they would end up with 14 points, an outcome that may still not guarantee a spot in the top four.
