In the 12th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2023), Mumbai Indians will face Chennai Super Kings. The match will be at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday, April 8. The home team, Mumbai Indians, was defeated in their tournament opener. At the same time, Chennai has made a comeback with a win against Lucknow after the defeat in the first match.
Mumbai Indians have the best record against CSK at home. These teams have played 10 matches in Mumbai; MI has won 7 matches, and CSK has won 3 matches. These two will face each other for the 11th time in Mumbai.
It should be noted that the pitch at Wankhede Stadium often helps the batsmen. The average score in IPL on this pitch is 180. The average score in an inning in T20 Internationals here is 194. Short boundaries and a fast outfield often prove to be helpful for the batsmen. Here the bowlers will have to bowl very disciplined.
The ball comes easily to the bat on the Wankhede pitch. Batsmen have a lot of time to play shots. The bowlers don’t get much help here. If bowlers bowl on line length, they will give fewer runs. If the bowler deviates from the line length, they will give tremendous runs. The team fielding first after winning the toss in Mumbai has been at an advantage. The toss will play an important role in this match.
