In a mouth-watering clash, defending champions Chennai Super Kings will lock horns against Mumbai Indians in the final of this year’s Indian Premier League (IPL).  The Mumbai-Chennai rivalry is arguably the fiercest and most enthralling rivalry in the history of the IPL and the fans could not have asked for a better finale.

Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings are the only two teams to have won the IPL thrice. Mumbai had entered the final after beating the Super Kings in the first qualifier. On the other hand, Super Kings thrashed Delhi Capitals by six wickets in the second qualifier to seal their spot in the final. The upcoming game is the fourth final between Mumbai and Chennai.

The first final between these two teams had taken place in 2010 which Chennai had won to claim their first IPL title. However, Mumbai beat Chennai in 2013 and 2015 to take the upper hand.  The momentum is also in Mumbai’s favour as they have won their last three games.  Chennai, on the other hand, have lost two of their last three games. Moreover, both the teams have already met thrice this season with Mumbai winning on all the occasions comfortably.
