MI vs CSK Dream11 Prediction, Match 38, IPL Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Injury Updates & Pitch Report for IPL 2025

In this prediction, MI vs CSK Fantasy 11 Prediction, cricket tips, playing XI, injury news & Wankhede pitch report for Match 38 of Indian Premier League 2025. After registering two successive wins, Mumbai Indians will be hoping to complete a rare hat-trick, when they resume their rivalry with the Chennai Super Kings at the iconic Wankhede Cricket Stadium, slated to take place on Sunday, April 20.

Mumbai Indians always seem to bounce back after a slow start in the cash-rich league, a virtue that has now become synonymous with their style.  MI seem to have found their groove after a slow start to the season where they had lost four out of the five games. Hardik Pandya and his men began their current mini run of wins by beating Delhi Capitals by 12 runs before toppling Sunrisers Hyderabad by four wickets.

On the other hand, MS Dhoni’s brigade seems eager to log a few more wins to their name before it is too late for them to seal the playoff spot. The side is currently at the 10th and last spot in the points table. The Wankhede Stadium crowd must be excited at the prospect of yet another appearance of ‘Thala’ MS Dhoni, who had been facing severe criticism for batting at number nine in a match earlier. However, one should not forget that when MS Dhoni churns out those big hits, the partial Mumbai crowd would cheer for the CSK legend.

What happened when the two power-packed sides faced off in their IPL 2025 opener?

The two sides met each other in their respective opening game of the IPL 2025. It was CSK bowler Noor Ahmad who destroyed MI’s batting lineup, picking up four wickets to restrict the visitors’ batting lineup to 155/9 at MA Chidambaram Cricket Stadium, Chepauk. The hosts won that game by four wickets and outplayed MI. Hardik Pandya and his men now seem to be in a better rhythm and would be keen to avenge themselves in this game.

Toss will play a key role in the likely outcome of the game as the humidity and dew will make life easier for teams batting second. In the last game, batters found it tough on a wicket that was sticky. It is unlikely the same wicket will be used again for the game on Sunday. One can expect a high-scoring contest as the captain who wins the toss will want to bowl first and make use of the better conditions while chasing.
