IPL 2025 Match 38 Preview

It’s El Clasico of IPL time once again as two of the tournament’s biggest names — Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) — gear up for a thrilling showdown at the Wankhede Stadium.

After a sluggish start to their season, MI are finally showing signs of resurgence. Hardik Pandya’s men, who lost 4 of their first 5 matches, are now on a two-match winning streak. A 12-run win over Delhi Capitals and a tight 4-wicket chase against Sunrisers Hyderabad have given them much-needed momentum. Playing at home, they’ll look to keep the winning train rolling and give their fans something to cheer about.

CSK, meanwhile, are in unfamiliar territory — bottom of the table, desperate for wins. While criticism over MS Dhoni’s late batting entries continues to make headlines, fans still hope for a ‘Thala Special’ under the Wankhede lights. With playoffs slowly slipping out of reach, every game is now a must-win for the men in yellow.

Expect a fiery contest, nostalgic energy, and edge-of-the-seat drama as two giants clash in Mumbai.
