You don’t have to look beyond Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians to realize that monotony can be an undesired side-effect of consistency. In a league that was once expanded to accommodate 10 teams, these two teams are so far ahead of the pack that it borders on the boring now. Click Here for Live Score and Updates - IPL Final MI vs CSK Live Score Hence, when Faf du Plessis said after the win against Delhi Capitals that CSK know how to react to pressure scenarios and how they just know how to win knockout clashes, it made all the sense. However, this season the story has been different for Dhoni’s brigade against the Mumbai Indians - a side which has beaten them thrice on the bounce. So will the law of averages finally catch up, or will Mumbai’s juggernaut roll on and go all the way? MS Dhoni does not believe in changes just for the sake of tweaks, he could well go ahead and play the same side, but at the same time, he could be tempted to make a strategic move. Shardul Thakur played in the previous match, but was needed to bowl only a solitary over. Will Dhoni bring in a batsman instead of Thakur remains to be seen. Murali Vijay who looked good in the first qualifier could well make a comeback in this match to bolster the middle-order. Predicted XI of CSK for the match against Mumbai Indians: Shane Watson, Faf du Plessis, Murali Vijay, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Dwayne Bravo, Harbhajan Singh, Imran Tahir, Deepak Chahar<doc-sep>In Twenty20 cricket, teams tend to chase after winning the toss.

Mumbai Indians has a much balanced side with Captain Rohit Sharma regaining his form in the last few matches.Bowling department has also performed well for them having restricted CSK for 131 in the first qualifier that they had played earlier this week. Rahul Chahar, Jasprit Bumrah and Mitchell Mcclenaghan provide a strong bowling base while Rohit Sharma, Quinton de Kock, Suryakumar Yadav, Kieron Pollard constituting the batting order. Hardik Pandya coming late into the order has consistently finished matches for the team and is undoubtedly having the best time of his T20 career.Chennai Super Kings has won the IPL thrice in 2010, 2011 and 2018. CSK had defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2018 to clinch the title.

However, their win percentage is not great and hovers around 43%. For a team like CSK that has the most balanced side among all other IPL teams, this is definitely a cause of concern.MS Dhoni, the CSK captain, having amassed 414 runs already, is having one of his best IPL seasons. CSK has also won 9 out of the 14 league matches this season and finished 2nd in the points table before finally defeating Delhi Capitals in Qualifier 3 after losing out to Mumbai India in Qualifier 1.To defend the title, MS Dhoni and CSK will have to ensure that their top order handles MI's bowling line up well if they want to win this contest. If MI is able to rip through CSK top order, it is highly likely that they may lift the cup for the 4th time.
