IPL 2020 MI vs CSK Today Match Prediction:
Mumbai had lost all the 5 games they played in UAE in 2014. They are known to be slow starters as they tend to gain momentum after losing the initial few games. But they would be itching to change these perceptions. The squad of MI looks stronger than CSK who have had some hiccups recently. So, a thriller is on the cards for the starters where MI might just edge past the opposition
