CSK vs MI prediction
- Result prediction: CSK to win
There isn't a whole lot between these teams coming into this match-up.
CSK have had a solid campaign thus far, but have failed to go on any notable winning runs. Despite that, they rank second for total runs in 2023 (1695), even with their last match being abandoned due to rain.
MI, on the other hand, had a poor start to the season, but have built some momentum since then. They have won their last two on the bounce, notably scoring more than 200 runs in each of those games.
We believe that CSK's home-ground advantage and consistency with the bat will give them the edge in this one.
CSK vs MI best bet
- Pick: Devon Conway over 26.5 runs
- Odds: 1.87 (Dafabet)
Conway has been on fire for CSK this season, averaging 59.14 runs per game.
He is also fresh off a 92-not-out showing against PBKS, demonstrating his explosiveness and ability to stay at the crease.
We think his betting line is well within reach on Saturday afternoon.
CSK vs MI outside bet
- Pick: Mumbai Indians over 0.5 ducks
- Odds: 2.20 (Dafabet)
One point behind their opponents, the pressure will be on MI as the away team in Chennai.
Pressure brings nerves, so we think that there is a chance someone is dismissed for a duck.
