Mumbai Indians v Chennai Super Kings: Prediction, Tips and Odds

Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings are two of the most iconic franchises to compete in the IPL but both teams have underperformed in 2025.

After stumbling out of the blocks with four defeats in five games, Mumbai have at least stabilised with a couple of wins but Chennai Super Kings remain rooted to the foot of the standings.

Time is running out for these sides to forge genuine playoff charges and Sunday's encounter in Mumbai should not disappoint. 

Mumbai Indians v Chennai Super Kings betting tips and predictions

Mumbai Indians to win - 4/7

Chennai Super Kings edged Mumbai Indians by four wickets with just five balls to spare when they met in their season opener in March but Mumbai can get their revenge when the sides reconvene at the Wankhede Stadium.

That loss began a streak of four defeats in five matches for Mumbai but they have since returned to the winning trail, beating Delhi Capitals by 12 runs and Sunrisers Hyderabad by four wickets in their last two contests.

The return from injury of pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah earlier this month has certainly played its part, while Mumbai's top batsmen such as Suryakumar Yadav and Ryan Rickelton have also started to score.

As for Chennai, that opening victory was one of only two they have recorded this season and they sit rock bottom of the IPL with five defeats from seven matches.

They defeated Lucknow Super Giants by five wickets with three balls to spare last time out but only thanks to a late cameo from MS Dhoni, who made 26 not out.

Indeed, they are struggling at the crease with Ruturaj Gaikwad injured and Rachin Ravindra and Rahul Tripathi among the players not producing their best.

The Wankhede Stadium was not conducive to big totals last time out and Chennai's struggles with the bat could continue to haunt them, so back Mumbai Indians to win.

Suryakumar Yadav top match batter - 5/1

As well as the return of Bumrah, the form of Yadav has played a key role in Mumbai's recent resurgence.

In his last four innings, Yadav has struck 67, 28, 40 and 26, so he has been one of his team's more consistent runscorers.

With 265 runs to his name, he is among the leading scorers in this year's IPL, having been ahead of Shreyas Iyer, Virat Kohli and Travis Head in the standings after seven matches played.

He is worth backing at 5/1 to be the match's top scorer given he is Mumbai's main man with the bat and should not face much competition from the Chennai crop.

Rachin Ravindra to score under 24.5 runs - 5/6

New Zealander Ravindra exploded out of the blocks when these sides clashed in March, scoring an unbeaten 65 in his first match of the IPL season.

But he has since been on the decline, adding only 121 runs in six subsequent matches in the franchise competition this year.

He is far too inconsistent to get behind at the moment, scoring a duck, three, 36, four and 37 in his last five IPL innings and given the recent tacky nature of the Wankhede pitch, he is likely to be on the lower end this time around.

Back him to fall short of his runs line of 24.5 at a shade of odds-on.
