IPL 2019,MI vs CSK: Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report And Injury Update

After 56 matches, the Indian Premier League (IPL) caravan has reached its business end. Top four teams will fight for the ultimate glory in the playoffs with two of the most successful franchises fittingly kickstarting things in the first qualifier. They also get an extra shot for making it to the finals as the two teams finished in the top two in the points table. The Mumbai Indians (MI) and the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will fight it out at the Chepauk on Tuesday.

Though this is the home game on paper for MI as they finished on top of the table, it is just an illusion. There will be a sea of yellow with a little bit of blue in Chennai when the teams will walk onto the field to fight for a place in the final. As far as the team combination is concerned, CSK have been jolted with a blow in the previous game.

Kedar Jadhav injured his shoulder while fielding in the game against KXIP and has been ruled out of the tournament. Dhruv Shorey is expected to replace him in the middle-order. The combinations will change for the visitors as well and they might look to beef up their spin attack a bit.
