CSK vs MI, IPL Toss Result: Today's match players list, teams & umpires for Match 59
Old rivals Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI) will come face-to-face again in Match 59 of the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday (May 12). The remainder of the tournament is a game of pride for both sides. While MI have officially been knocked out of the playoffs race, CSK only have a complicated mathematical possibility of making it.
Mumbai will go into the match on the back of a 52-run drubbing at the hands of the Kolkata Knight Riders. KKR themselves have been one of the most disappointing sides in IPL 2022. So for MI to suffer such a huge defeat against them explains how bad things have been for them this season. Chennai will go in with greater confidence, having hammered the Delhi Capitals (DC) by 91 runs in their last game. Both their batting and bowling departments were highly impressive.
When MI and CSK met in the first half of IPL 2022, the IPL teams played out a last-ball thriller with a cool cameo from MS Dhoni lifting Chennai over the line. Fans of both franchises will be hoping for another close contest between the arch-rivals.
