CSK vs MI Dream11 Prediction: Dream11 Team Today, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report, Injury Update - IPL 2026, Match 44

The EL-Clasico between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians is expected to be intense at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, especially after their previous meeting in IPL 2026, which turned out to be completely one-sided. In that game at Wankhede Stadium, CSK dominated from the start and secured a huge 103-run win.

Batting first, Chennai scored 207/6 in 20 overs, courtesy of a brilliant unbeaten century by Sanju Samson, who played aggressively and put the Mumbai bowlers under pressure throughout the innings. While chasing, the Mumbai Indians had a very poor start, losing several wickets in the power play, which made things difficult for them early on.

Although there was a small fightback from the middle order, the team could not recover from the early damage and were bowled out for just 104 runs in 19 overs. CSK’s bowlers performed really well, with Akeal Hosein being the standout performer, taking four important wickets. Led by Hardik Pandya, the Mumbai Indians looked out of form and struggled in both batting and bowling, ending up with one of their biggest defeats in IPL history.
