The 12th IPL 2023 game between the Mumbai Indians and the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will take place at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday (April 8). Due to a famous matchup between the two clubs, the matchup is sometimes referred to as the “El-Classico” of the IPL. Notably, the two teams have faced off 36 times, including matches in the now-defunct Champions League T20. Together, they have won up to nine IPL championships. The opposing teams’ leaders, MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma, will be motivated to lead their squad to victory in this important match.
It’s interesting to note that despite scrutiny on their squad selections, both MI and CSK suffered in IPL 2022. This season’s plot has been pretty consistent so far, with their ineffective and inexperienced bowling assault. Although MI have just played one game and lost it to Royal Challengers Bangalore, CSK have already won after losing to Gujarat Titans in the season opener.

What took place at IPL 2022?
In their two previous meetings, MI and CSK each took one of their games. The opening match of the season was a nail-biter, with MS Dhoni putting the game away in dramatic fashion in the last over. Daniel Sams emerged as the five-time winners’ saviour in the rematch as CSK were skittled for only 97 runs. With more than five overs remaining, MI easily completed the chase.
