The time has finally come that the Indian Premier League (IPL) returns, for the first time in it’s history has it been disrupted like it has and after a few months of break, IPL 2021 is back. And we couldn’t have hoped for a better contest to resume with Match 30 of IPL 2021 seeing two of the competitions most successful franchises going head to head in this game, now to be played in Dubai International Stadium.
One of the franchises in question is Chennai Super Kings and they’ve started the season well with 5 wins in 7 games and are #2 on the IPL 2021 points table after a dismal IPL 2020 outing. They’re up against 5-time IPL title winners and defending champions Mumbai Indians (4 wins in 7 games in IPL 2021) and the latter are slight favourites for this encounter, up at pre-match odds of 1.79 with 1xBet.
Batting picks
There’s one player in fantastic form for the Men in Yellow and that’s South Africa’s Faf du Plessis. He’s already their top scorer with 320 runs in 7 games but more recently, he is coming off scores like 84, 6, 19, 22, 120* for St Lucia Kings in CPL 2021 where he displayed fabulous form and is a good pick to top score for this team, especially since he was left out of the SA squad for the 2020 T20 World Cup. He’s at odds of 3.1 with 1xBet, to top score for CSK.

Suryakumar Yadav has been the most consistent player for Mumbai and betting on him to top score in IPL 2021 Match 30 is of no use because there’s not much value in that bet. At 5.45 with 1xBet to top score for Mumbai Indians is wicket-keeper batsman Ishan Kishan who hasn’t scored much in IPL 2021 so far but he tends to fire on all cylinders in the first game of a tournament, like he did in Sri Lanka recently.
Bowling picks
With the ball, Chennai has a wide range and it’s going to be tough to pick one top bowler. Dwayne Bravo didn’t bowl in the last couple of CPL 2021 games due to injury while Ravi Jadeja will keep it tight but isn’t usually a wicket-taking option. I’m really bullish on Lungi Ngidi doing well at odds of 3.74 but someone who is coming off a dream Test stint in England and is high on confidence is Shardul Thakur who you can bet on as CSK’s top bowler, at odds of 4.74 with 1xBet.

For Mumbai, Jasprit Bumrah tends to start every IPL season a little wayward with his line and lengths and that’s why we won’t bet on him even though he’s favourite to be MI’s top bowler today. Rahul Chahar recently toured Sri Lanka and is another player high on confidence, so he’s a better bet at odds of 3.6 with 1xBet since he’s already Mumbai’s top bowler in IPL 2021 with 11 scalps so far this tournament.

Mumbai also start off IPL seasons very slowly and this be as good as a restart for them, so we think the underdogs CSK has a better chance here today, especially since their players have been in better form of late. But since Mumbai has always been a powerhouse with the bat, I’d recommend a bet on most number of sixes in Mumbai Indians’ favour! Good luck and for more updates, stay tuned to ReadScoops.com…
