IPL 2020 LIVE SCORE, CSK vs MI Match: Mumbai aim to return to winning ways against off-form Chennai – Firstcricket News, Firstpost
IPL 2020 LIVE SCORE, Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians latest updates: Hello and welcome to Match 41 of IPL 2020 to be played between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians at Sharjah. CSK are at bottom of the table with just 3 wins in 10 games and are almost out of the tournament. They will look to ensure today that they have some wins under their belt before finishing the tournament. MI, on the other hand, would look to collect two points and inch closer towards the playoffs. Stay tuned for more updates.
Preview: Chennai Super Kings take on Mumbai Indians in the 41st match of the Indian Premier League in Sharjah. The dismal performance of the Chennai franchise in the 13th edition of IPL has continued and they are languishing at the bottom of the table with seven losses and three wins from 10 matches, still somehow they have stayed alive in the tournament.
Just when the fans had started gathering some hope after CSK’s win over SRH in Dubai, it again came crashing down with back-to-back losses, against DC and RR. It was their batting that disappointed as they could post just 125/5 against RR. It has been a huge cause of concern for them right through the tournament.
They need a change, add some flamboyance in the batting order. It will be interesting to see whether they do bring in the youngsters after MS Dhoni’s comments that they didn’t see as much spark in some of their young players. They desperately need a change for sure…and the captain to lead from the front.
Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, will look to get back to winning ways after the thrilling Super Over loss to Kings XI Punjab.
Rohit Sharma will be looking to achieve more consistency with the bat while the middle order will need to step up after the failure against KXIP. Maybe, they need to promote Kieron Pollard up the order. He’s been in brilliant hitting form. Hardik Pandya hasn’t found his groove but such is the nature of his job where he is required to attack from the word go.
It will also be interesting to see if James Pattinson comes back into the side in place of Nathan Coulter-Nile who hasn’t done too badly in the opportunities he’s got.
Jasprit Bumrah will again be the biggest threat to CSK while Trent Boult would be looking to bounce back after being hit for 48 runs from 4 overs against KXIP. The bowlers would look to impose themselves on the struggling CSK batting line-up. A win over CSK would allow MI to take the top spot in the league table.
