Mumbai Indians (MI) take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Wankhede in Match 38 of IPL 2025 on Sunday night. After a rocky start, MI seem to have found their groove with two back-to-back wins and will be hoping to ride that momentum. CSK, on the other hand, are stuck near the bottom with just two wins from seven and haven’t looked like themselves this season. That said, they’ll take whatever lift they can from their last win. These two have had some thrilling contests over the years, but judging by current form, MI look like the stronger outfit this time.

Mumbai Indians have turned things around after a rough patch, picking up consecutive wins over Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad. In their latest outing, they chased down 162 at home, winning by 4 wickets after keeping SRH to 162-5.
It was a solid all-round effort, with contributions coming from across the lineup. MI seems to have found their rhythm, and with momentum on their side, they’re always a threat. Their top order—Rickelton, Jacks, and Rohit—haven’t hit big scores yet but are still getting them off to workable starts. The bigger impact has come from the middle and lower middle batting.
Suryakumar Yadav is leading the way with the bat, scoring 265 runs in seven games at an average of 44.16 and a strike rate of 151.42. Tilak Varma has also looked sharp, notching up two half-centuries in his last three knocks. He’s a good bet to score 30 or more again here.
Hardik Pandya and Naman Dhir are dangerous late in the innings. If they face more than 10 balls, they tend to make it count.
Pandya’s also added value with the ball, grabbing 11 wickets though he’s been slightly expensive at 9.15 an over. Deepak Chahar has five wickets but tends to be expensive in the back end. Boult remains effective with the new ball and at the death.
The return of Bumrah has made a big difference for MI. Alongside Boult, he gives them real control in the final stages. Santner has kept things tidy through the middle, and Karn Sharma’s been a useful option during that stretch as well.

It’s been a rough season for Chennai Super Kings. With just two wins from seven games, the five-time champions are stuck at the bottom. At this point, turning things around would take something close to a miracle. Their recent win over Lucknow Super Giants offers a small ray of hope—it snapped a five-match losing streak.
Losing Ruturaj Gaikwad for the rest of the season has made things extremely tough for CSK. He was their most dependable batter, and his absence leaves a hole at the top. They tried 20-year-old Shaik Rasheed as an opener against LSG, and he gave them the start they’ve been craving—27 off 19 balls in the powerplay. Perhaps he can be the impact maker for CSK at the top from here on.
The middle-order’s still unreliable. Rahul Tripathi and Vijay Shankar haven’t managed to steady things or pick up the pace when needed. Shivam Dube’s been their only consistent batter lately, with scores of 42* off 27, 31* off 15, and 43 off 37 in his last three games. MS Dhoni, now 43, proved he still has the finishing touch with a match-winning 26* off 11 in that 167-run chase against LSG.
Their bowling has been hit and miss. Khaleel Ahmed’s been sharp early on—11 wickets in seven matches and an economy of 9. Noor Ahmad has been the standout overall, grabbing 12 wickets at 7.12. But others haven’t held up their end. Ashwin and Jadeja aren’t containing runs or breaking partnerships, and Pathirana has been too expensive, although he does have a happy knack of picking wickets.

The last time we saw action here, the pitch played two-paced with plenty in it for both seamers and spinners—mainly to counter SRH’s batting lineup. But against CSK, we’re likely to see the Wankhede track back to its usual self: good for batting with some help for the bowlers. New-ball bowlers might find something early on, but once that’s out of the way, batters usually settle in, and scoring picks up. Spinners could get a bit of grip early, though dew later on will take them out of the game. The surface should stay firm throughout, which makes life tough for anyone relying on cutters or slower stuff.
As for the weather, it’ll be hot and humid as always in Mumbai, but rain won’t get in the way.

Average TurnWankhede Stadium typically averages around 170 in the first innings. RCB still holds the IPL record at this ground, smashing 235/1 against MI back in 2015. This season, we've seen two extremes—116 is the lowest score and 221/5 the highest —so the pitch hasn't been a complete run-fest yet. But don't be surprised if teams batting first aim for 180-190, because the surface is likely to favor the batters in this fixture.
Teams usually prefer chasing at Wankhede under lights - and this season's stats back that up, with the chasing side winning 2 out of 3 games here in IPL 2025. You can bet both captains will want to field first if they win the toss.
Matches between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings usually bring the drama, and fans have come to expect nothing less. But this season, CSK haven’t looked like themselves—they're hanging on by a thread. Even though they managed a win against their arch-rivals in their opening fixture, they’ll need something out of the ordinary to get past a confident Mumbai side playing at home. For CSK to stand a real chance, their bowlers need to step up in a big way and keep MI to a total they can chase. Otherwise, this one could easily swing Mumbai’s way.
Mumbai Indians are favorites to win this game.
