#CSKvsMI #QUALIFIRE1 #IPL2019 IPL 2019, Qualifier 1, MI vs CSK: Match Preview, MI and CSK Strong and Weak Point
After a month and a half of the enthralling league stage, IPL 2019 is set to enter the playoff stage tomorrow. Chennai Super Kings will battle it out with the arch-rivals Mumbai Indians at the Chepauk stadium in order to clinch a berth in the finals.
The defending champions would be hoping to avenge their previous two defeats against Mumbai while the visitors will be confident of making into the finals for the fifth time in their franchise history. We can expect another thrilling encounter when both these heavyweights lock horns in the first qualifier.
Chennai Super Kings have been the most consistent team in IPL history, but their recent sloppy performances are a sign of worry. The hosts have to bat out of their skin if they want to reverse the tide against the Mumbai Indians.
With match-winners like Shane Watson, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni and Imran Tahir in their ranks, the reigning champions have the potential to retain their IPL title this season. But having lost their previous two encounters against Mumbai, CSK would be entering the match as the underdogs.
Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians have had a sensational campaign on the back of some scintillating performances. After a slow start, the Blue Army regained their poise to finish at the top spot in the points table.
Rohit Sharma has led his team from the front, and Mumbai could well be on the cusp of winning their record fourth IPL crown.
