Chennai Super Kings
It has been a mixed season for CSK and they have struggled to get momentum with a winning streak, which they used to do in the previous seasons. Victories and losses have come otherwise and have often been marginal, which has made their battle even tougher. The batting has failed to click as a unit and although some of them have made the odd good innings, they have struggled to put up big scores consistently. The bowling has done a better job compared to the batsmen and relies heavily on the likes of Hilfenhaus and Ashwin.
Mumbai Indians
Mumbai Indians is another side which has qualified but hasn't conquered other teams in the league stages. However, they got the much needed form in their last league game against Rajasthan Royals where the openers Sachin Tendulkar and Dwayne Smith led them to a 10 wicket victory. Mumbai have depth in their batting but their main problem seems to be at the top; they have used many opening pairs and it remains to be seen if they will stick to Smith-Sachin grouping in the knock-out stages. The bowling, as always depends a lot on Malinga, and as always, he has delivered.
