Chennai Super Kings will take on Mumbai Indians in the first match of the UAE leg of the Indian Premier League 2021 on September 19 at the Dubai International Stadium. The marquee tournament was suspended earlier this year, due to the covid-19 outbreak.
The Chennai Super Kings had a great first phase of the league. They are second on the points table with five wins in seven matches and a great Net Run Rate of +1.263. The squad has only one change from the first phase, Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood who opted out due to personal reasons, is back for the UAE leg of the tournament.
The Chennai Super Kings might miss the services of their all-rounder, Sam Curran, for the match against Mumbai Indians, due to quarantine protocols. Overall, they have a strong squad and are capable of winning their fourth IPL title this year.
