MI vs CSK Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 33, IPL 2026

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for match 33 of the IPL 2026 between MI vs CSK to be played in Mumbai.

Tilak Varma’s blistering century against Gujarat Titans (GT) helped Mumbai Indians (MI) to get their second win of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. After four consecutive defeats, MI finally earned two points on the board. Now, they are gearing up to face their biggest rival, Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

This high-voltage clash is scheduled to take place at Wankhede Stadium on Thursday at 7:30 PM IST. The biggest news is the possible return of MS Dhoni after injury. For MI, Rohit Sharma is likely to feature in the playing XI. CSK lost their previous game against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)

Their leading scorer in the IPL 2026, Ayush Mhatre, has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury. Mhatre will be a big miss for CSK in the top order. Hence, they have to find someone reliable at No. 3. The injuries have certainly hurt CSK a lot, and they will be under pressure against MI.

MI vs CSK: Pitch Report

The wicket at Wankhede Stadium is flat, and it is a high-scoring venue. The par score here in the IPL is around 190-195, which also doesn’t assure a win. This wicket gets better with time, as the ball will skid more because of the dew in the lateral stages.

In three matches played here this season, the average first-inning score is around 215-225. Because of the shorter boundaries, it becomes difficult for the bowlers to contain the batters here.
