Must-win match for Mumbai Indians
The ongoing IPL 2026 match against Chennai Super Kings in Chennai is a must-win game for Mumbai Indians. If MI suffer a defeat against Ruturaj Gaikwad’s men on Saturday at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, then their chances of finishing in the top four and qualifying for the IPL 2026 playoffs will be over.
As of now, MI can finish the league stage with a total of 16 points (provided they win all six remaining matches). But if CSK defeat MI for the second time in IPL 2026, then MI can finish with a maximum of 14 points, and 14 points are not enough to qualify for the playoffs.
