Let's see. I made a bet in favor of MI. And surprisingly a majority from the Bitcointalk pool have opted for MI. Around 2 hours remain and till now there is no news of any of the players pulling out due to COVID 19 infection.

Rohit Sharma and Quinton de Kock will be opening for MI, and Trent Boult/Jasprit Bumrah are likely to open the bowling. For CSK, the middle-order looks strong, with the inclusion of Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni. And indications are that Josh Hazlewood will be paying for CSK today, which will be a very big boost for them.

If CSK bats first, the big concern for the fans would be their ability to score quickly. Most of the players are 30 plus and many are 35 plus, and they don't have as many big hitters as MI.

My gut feeling says that the team which wins the toss will opt to field fist.

Both teams are good but MI usually starts their games with a loss and then start winning games so hoping they follow this trend today as well.

Fielding first is better as the ground doesn't look like a high-scoring one. I feel 170-180 runs can be made max.

@erikalui MI have posted a total of 162 runs, and CSK have already lost the wickets of Watson and Vijay which has made this match suddenly very interesting to watch. Also if CSK continues to lose few more quick wickets then theyll not be able to chase this target down, however if one or two partnerships can be formed till the 15th over then CSK will have an excellent chance of winning this game.

After that two early wickets, Rayudu and Faf playing sensibly and posted 50 run partnership meanwhile the required run rate is getting higher over 10+.CSK need two big overs to stop the required rate climbing too high or else it will be out of their hands in the final overs.

After a long time this IPL gave an opportunity to see the thriller match and also time with family.

Now Rayudu is doing best job for CSK as attacking on bowlers is going to help him some good they will be in better position in last overs 9 overs and 82 runs left to win with 8 wickets in hand is no big deal hopefully they will no chock and go through without any problem MI was in good position but their lowr middle order was unable to give some good runs so now all is in CSK hands lets see how they do this in death overs.

The match is equally positioned at this time and both teams can win this one, although CSK is little favorite because they have lost only 2 wickets.
If Chennai Super kings loses 1 or 2 wickets here, then the run rate can shot up and the target may become more stiff for them.

So you are suggesting that the match is even poised at this time but lets verify it through the odds. Below are the odds for this win market for this match.
