In what could be another riveting clash, defending champions Chennai will take on Mumbai in their return fixture of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Friday.

After eight wins from 11 games and 16 points in their kitty, Chennai have already qualified for the playoffs. However, skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni would certainly like to keep the winning momentum going as the top two teams on the points table get an additional chance to make it to the final.

Mumbai are placed third with 12 points and are yet to consolidate their position in the top four, with at least two more wins necessary to seal a playoff berth. The Rohit Sharma-led side, however, had outclassed the yellow brigade by 37 runs when they last faced-off in Mumbai.

On the other hand in their last encounter, Mumbai suffered a five-wicket defeat against Rajasthan at Jaipur.

Rohit's men didn't do much wrong in the game as batting first they posted a respectable total of 161/5. The bowlers also bowled decently as they picked up wickets at crucial moments. However, Mumbai still failed to cross the line.

But to win against Chennai, who are in their top form, Mumbai will need to play as a single unit.

The three-time champions will once again rely on their opener Quinton de Kock, who has accumulated 378 runs from 10 games and has mostly given fine starts to his side. Also, a lot will depend on Hardik Pandya who has scored quick runs down the batting order many a time this season.

Their pace attack will be spearheaded by Jasprit Bumrah, who has 11 wickets from 10 games and has bowled well in the death overs. Apart from him, medium-pacer Hardik Pandya and Lasith Maling will also need to strike at regular intervals. The spin responsibility will be on the shoulders of Rahul Chahar and Krunal Pandya.

Overall, another exciting clash is on the cards as the two arch-rivals and also the two best teams in the league's history face-off in the business end of the tournament.
