MI vs CSK Dream11 Prediction: Dream11 Team Today, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report, Injury Update - IPL 2026, Match 33

The Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings clash in IPL 2026 comes at a stage where both teams are trying to find their way towards the top four of the IPL points table. The Mumbai Indians are coming into this game after a dominant win over the Gujarat Titans. They put up 199/5, mainly due to a brilliant innings from Tilak Varma, who scored 101 off just 45 balls and took the game away from the opposition.

Their bowlers then completed the job, with Ashwani Kumar picking up 4/24 and Jasprit Bumrah keeping things tight, as MI bowled Gujarat out at just 100 runs to register a huge 99-run victory. In contrast, the Chennai Super Kings are coming off a disappointing loss against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. They looked in control during the chase at one stage, but lost momentum in the middle overs and ended up falling short by 10 runs.

To make things tougher, the absence of young batter Ayush Mhatre due to injury has slightly weakened their squad, especially in terms of batting depth, but the management has strengthened their bowling by naming Akash Madhwal as his replacement. Notably, left-arm pacer Spencer Johnson has also joined the CSK lineup.
