Both teams stand a good chance of victory in this match-up, according to KreedOn’s expert astrologers’ predictions, though any predictions should be treated more as enjoyable insights than definitive forecasts.
Chennai are slight favourites to win given their home advantage at Chepauk and their players’ familiarity with conditions at Wankhede. Their strong batting lineup should be able to score against MI’s bowlers while Noor Ahmed, Ravindra Jadeja, and R Ashwin could prove especially effective on Wankhede pitch.
MI has shown mixed performances recently, yet their core strengths remain intact, such as experienced batsmen and an effective bowling unit. Their ability to take pressure off star players while producing quality individual performances under pressure makes them a dangerous opponent.
Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult will lead MI’s pace attack as Jasprit has shown his ability to hit hard against MI batsmen; while their PowerPlay scoring rate remains disappointing. Suryakumar Yadav will captain in Hardik Pandya’s absence; although his leadership abilities might not have been at their best recently, these abilities will prove key come Sunday afternoon.
