The 49th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 will see the Chennai Super Kings take on the Mumbai Indians. The MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai will be hosting this exciting clash on Saturday (May 6).
After a disappointing season last year, the men in Yellow are well on track to reach the knockouts this season. The Super Kings are currently placed third in the points table with 11 points, winning five of their 10 games so far.
Super Kings against the Lucknow Super Giants got washed out due to rain. The bowlers did their job brilliantly as they restricted the opponents to a mere 125/7 in 19.2 overs. Moeen Ali bowled an economical spell and picked up two crucial wickets for CSK. However, the rain played spoilsport and both teams shared a point each.
Meanwhile, the five-time champions have also recovered well after a poor start to the tournament. The Mumbai Indians are slowly making their way towards the top four as they currently stand sixth in the points table, winning five of their nine games so far.
Batting first, Liam Livingstone (82*) and Jitesh Sharma (49*) helped the Punjab Kings post a mammoth score of 214/3 in 20 overs. In reply, Ishan Kishan (75) and Suryakumar Yadav (66) hit brilliant fifties and helped the team cross the finish line with seven balls to spare.

Chennai Super Kings edged out the Mumbai Indians in a one-sided game when both these teams faced each other earlier this season. The men in Yellow will once again start the game as slight favourites due to their spin trio of Moeen Ali, Maheesh Theekshana and Ravindra Jadeja could come in handy on the spin friendly track in Chennai.
Prediction: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to win the Match 49 of IPL 2023.
