Both Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings, with three titles each, will be determined to go one up on the other
Both teams know how to finish at the right end of a result. In fact, they are serial winners in the IPL. Yet, one of them has to lose the big final here on Sunday.
Their record glitters. Both Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians have triumphed in three IPL edition each. The title clash here will put one team in front with four.
Both CSK and MI are proud of their record. They would hate going behind in the race. A lot will be at stake in the clash of the titans here. Form points to Mumbai. After all, the side has got the better of CSK thrice this season; twice in the league, home and away. and then in Qualifier 1.
Ferocious faceoff
MI has belief and momentum. But then, you can never quite rule out a side led by M.S. Dhoni in games as huge as this. This faceoff could be a ferocious one.
Dhoni has carried his team on his shoulders, smart and proactive as captain, displaying the fastest hands in the West behind the stumps and bludgeoning the ball with the willow.
