In the last couple of matches, Mumbai Indians are playing better cricket in comparison to Chennai Super Kings, but still, they will need to be at their best to achieve victory at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on May 6.

Analysis
Chennai Super Kings are putting up big totals on the board in the IPL this season, thanks mainly to their settled opening pair of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway. In the middle order, the unlikely duo of Ajinkya Rahane and Shivam Dube has been scoring runs consistently for CSK, along with key contributions from captain MS Dhoni. In the bowling department, Chennai is not at its best as of yet, but the wicket-taking ability of Tushar Deshpande along with the very good defensive bowling qualities from the Sri Lanka pairing of Maheesh Theekshana and Matheesha Pathirana has held the team in good stead this tournament.
Mumbai Indians have been bolstered immensely by a couple of big innings from the star T20 batter Suryakumar Yadav. The recent run of low scores from captain Rohit Sharma is not ideal for MI, but the other batters in the team, including the likes of Cameron Green, Tilak Varma, and Tim David are putting up runs on the board at a fair rate. Piyush Chawla has been the pick of the bowlers for Mumbai this IPL season, but he needs support from his other teammates to ensure that they can restrict the opposition to reasonable totals in upcoming matches.
