MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings (CSK) locked horns with Mumbai Indians (MI) in match number 49 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 on Saturday (May 6) at MA Chidambaram cricket stadium. And just like their previous encounter in IPL 2023, Chennai Super Kings outclassed the five-time IPL winners this time as well. CSK defeated MI by six wickets to secure their 11th win in the ongoing tournament, moving to second position in IPL 2023 Points Table with 13 points in their kitty. Chennai Super Kings invited Mumbai Indians to bat first after winning the toss. MI batters were rocked by fiery spells from Deepak Chahar (2/18 in 4 overs), Matheesha Pathirana (3/15 in 4 overs) and Tushar Deshpande (2/25 in 4 overs) as the five-time IPL winners could post a below-par 139/8 in 20 overs.
