MI vs CSK Toss Prediction:

At Wankhede Stadium, the team winning the toss is expected to field first. Chasing has proven to be a successful strategy here, with the team batting second winning 22 out of 38 IPL matches since 2022. Dew often becomes a factor in evening games, making it easier for the chasing side. Supporting this trend, Mumbai Indians have won two of their three home games this season while chasing, with their only defeat coming against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Considering these stats and conditions, the toss winner is likely to opt for bowling first
