What happened the last time MI played CSK at the Wankhede Stadium before IPL 2025?

Mumbai Indians (MI) are set to host Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The two teams are scheduled to face off on Sunday, April 20.

These two teams last met in an IPL game at the Wankhede Stadium during the 2024 season. Batting first, CSK put up a challenging total of 206/4 on the board. They were led by crucial half-centuries from skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad (69) and Shivam Dube (66*). MS Dhoni also played a solid cameo in the end, smashing an unbeaten 20 off just four balls.

Chasing 207, MI put up a spirited effort but fell short by 20 runs in the end as they were held at 186/6. Opener Rohit Sharma slammed an unbeaten century, scoring 105 runs off just 63 balls. However, his efforts eventually went in vain as he couldn't take the team over the line.

Matheesha Pathirana was the star of the show for CSK, grabbing four wickets and returning with figures of 4/28 from his four overs. He also won the 'Player of the Match' award.

Overall, MI and CSK have played against each other 13 times at this venue. The results have been neck-to-neck, with Mumbai winning seven and Chennai six.
