Next up in the Vivo IPL 2021 is a fascinating contest between the Mumbai Indians and the Chennai Super Kings. Both the sides will come into this fixture on the back of a thumping victory.
MI have three wins in three games. In their last match, they beat Rajasthan Royals convincingly with nine balls to spare. Their middle, major concern this season, scored some runs and will be more confident. Ishan Kishan could be left on the bench in this game too.
On the other hand, we have CSK who have won five games on the trot after loss against the Delhi Capitals. The form of Ambati Rayudu and MS Dhoni is the only major cause of concern for them. Both the teams look pretty decent on paper which makes it an interesting watch for a neutral between two of the most successful sides in IPL history.

IPL 2021 MI vs CSK Pitch Report:
As seen in the recent matches at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, the pitch is certainly a good one to bat on. There is not much swing or spin off the surface and bowlers will need to rely more on the variations in pace and length.
With dew expected as the match progresses, both the sides will ideally be looking to field first. But MI have more often than not chose to bat first this season.
