Who Will Win Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians 1st IPL Match Using Hardlabour

ABOUT THE MATCH
IPL 2018 will get start with defending champions, Mumbai Indians, taking on the Chennai Super Kings. CSK is returning to the IPL after a hiatus of 2 years and the excitement among its fans is tremendous. Mumbai Indians and CSK have been two of the strongest teams in IPL history. They also have two of the most rabid fan bases in the league. It will be very interesting to see which team is able to get off to a better start and lay down a marker early in the tournament.



CHENNAI SUPER KINGS TEAM
Chennai Super Kings have fans across the world and they are all waiting excitedly for their return to the IPL. That motivation to keep the fan-connect may have prompted CSK to keep as many players together from their original squad as possible.

MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, Dwayne Bravo, Murali Vijay, and Faf du Plessis have all played for CSK for a long time and will be familiar with what is expected of them. None of them, is, however, young or in the prime of their career.

MUMBAI INDIANS TEAM
Mumbai Indians have been perennial poor starters; they have now lost their last five season opening fixtures. Rohit Sharma and company will be keen to set that record right when they take the field on the opening night of the 2018 season.
Being able to play with a stable core of players year after year is a huge advantage in the IPL. The Mumbai Indians have once again been able to keep most of their players together and made some excellent additions as well.

The strength of this team is in the top-class Indian talent available to them. Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya are certainties in every game provided they remain fit. Rohit Sharma is one of the most dangerous six hitters in world cricket and has absolutely dominated the IPL in the past.

Bumrah is rated as the best death overs bowler in the world and made his name through consistent IPL performances. Hardik Pandya is again, someone who can bowl four overs consistently, attack from the first ball, and put in some incredible fielding performances as well.

Both teams have managed to retain the core of their team from previous years

Chennai Super Kings have a weaker bowling attack and a batting order that is lacking power

Mumbai Indians has the best Indian batsman in this format and the best death bowler of the league in its team

Mumbai Indians have won the last three matches they have played against Chennai Super Kings. 

Mumbai Indians are playing on their home ground where they won 5 out of 8 matches last season.

Mumbai Indians tend to start their campaign on a losing note and take some time to get into the groove.
