  El Clasico Preview

  Both teams enter this fixture on the back of recent disappointments. Chennai Super Kings currently sit in sixth place on the points table, having secured only three wins from their eight outings. Their most recent encounter saw them suffer an eight-wicket defeat to the Gujarat Titans, despite a valiant 74 from captain Ruturaj Gaikwad.

  The situation is even more precarious for the Mumbai Indians. Hardik Pandya’s side is languishing in ninth place with just four points. Following a high-scoring loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad, where they failed to defend a massive total of 243, Mumbai must win nearly all their remaining games to stand a chance of reaching the knockout stages.
