MI vs CSK Dream11 Prediction: Billed as the biggest game of any Indian Premier League (IPL) season, Mumbai Indians (MI) are set to face their fierce rivals, Chennai Super Kings (CSK), at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday, April 14, 2024.
No other team comes close to matching the fan following of CSK and MI, and no other fixture in any domestic T20 league worldwide gains as much traction as the match between these two perennial rivals. This fixture has become significant due to the prestige that both franchises have built over the years.
That prestige, that royalty, stems from winning an unprecedented 10 league titles, with both CSK and MI claiming 5 titles apiece. Considering there have been 16 IPL seasons before IPL 2024, those 10 league titles account for more than 80% of IPL seasons.

Talking about this season, it’s CSK who is making big strides towards the ultimate glory, or at least, the reigning champions are showing that they are ready to defend their crown. So far so good, they boast a positive return from five matches, winning three and losing twice, with the two hiccups coming in two straight matches – against Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Ruturaj Gaikwad‘s team responded to those two defeats in the most perfect way, beating the then unbeaten Kolkata Knight Riders, with the captain himself leading by an example, scoring an unbeaten 67 runs off 58 balls.
After three straight defeats at the start of the season, Hardik Pandya and Mumbai Indians roared back back-to-back wins against Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore respectively. Jasprit Bumrah was the difference in both those wins. The 31-year-old speedster picked up 8 wickets in those two matches, and is the current Purple Cap holder in IPL 2024. Here’s MI vs CSK Dream11 Prediction.
MI vs CSK Pitch & Weather Report
Pitch Report: Every cricket fan knows how flat the pitch is at the Wankhede Stadium. If there’s any doubt about that, just take a look at the last two games at this venue. MI batted first against DC and posted 234/5, with Delhi almost pulling off the impossible by scoring 205/8 in response. In the last match here, RCB batted first and made 196/8. MI made a mockery of that total and chased the target down in just 15.3 overs. Expect more or less the same here. It’s going to be a run-fest.
Weather Report: When the game is as big as MI vs CSK, you want a full match, without any disturbance from the heaven. That’s what is likely to happen on Sunday as the weather forecast indicate a clear weather, with no chance of rain. The temperature is likely to hover around 30°C – 34°C.
