MI vs CSK: Playoff hopes on the line in crucial clash..!?

The two giants of the IPL series, mumbai Indians (MI) and chennai Super Kings (CSK), will clash on april 20 at the Wankhede in mumbai in the 2025 IPL series. The result of this match may affect the playoff chances of the mumbai Indians team. Currently (as of april 19), the mumbai Indians team has suffered a slight setback in the 2025 IPL series points table with 3 wins in 7 matches. chennai Super Kings team is even worse, with 2 wins in 7 matches, and is struggling at the last place. The playoff chances of both these teams are now in question. What will happen if CSK wins? If chennai Super Kings defeat mumbai Indians in the match to be played on april 20, both teams will be almost level with 3 wins each after 8 matches.
 At that time, mumbai Indians and chennai Super Kings will have only 6 matches left. Both teams will have a dilemma of having to win at least 5 of those 6 matches to qualify for the playoffs. In particular, if they lose this match, the situation of mumbai Indians will worsen. By winning this match, the mumbai team can push this team into this crisis.
 Mumbai and chennai are the two successful teams that have won the most trophies (5 each) in the history of IPL. However, for the last few years, both these teams have been struggling without their old form. The same situation continues this year too. Currently, these two teams are forced to beat each other to move up in the points table, that is, 'one will break the other's leg'. What will happen to CSK if mumbai wins? Perhaps, if mumbai Indians defeat chennai Super Kings in this match, CSK will be very behind with 2 wins in 8 matches. After that, if chennai wants to advance to the play-off round, they will have to win the remaining 6 matches. It will be almost impossible. Due to this, CSK's play-off dream will almost end. Thus, the two giant teams that once ruled the IPL are now struggling to qualify for the play-off round. rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers hyderabad have also won only two matches in seven matches, like chennai Super Kings.
