At the IPL 2020 opener, CSK posted a convincing win against MI but a lot has changed since. MI is almost set for the playoffs as it sits at the third spot in IPL 2020 Points Table with six wins in nine games. In contrast, CSK is placed at the bottom of the table with three wins in 10 games.

On top of that, injury to Dwayne Bravo has added to CSK's woes as the team battles with inconsistency and subdued performance. In fact, MS Dhoni looks out of touch in the middle of all this. 

MI will go as favourites with most of the players in prime form this season. They also have the most formidable bowling attack and CSK's inconsistent batsmen may find the going tough in Sharjah.

CSK will look for a lease of life to stay in the tournament but a loss here would almost shut the playoffs door for them.
