Mumbai Indians vs Lucknow Super Giants Match Preview
The hosts will enter the game after a defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders. Led by Hardik Pandya, the team is currently at the bottom of the table with 8 points from 13 matches.
The Mumbai-based franchise will be very disappointed with their performance this season. They were the first team to be officially eliminated in IPL 2024. The five-time champions have only managed to secure four wins out of their 13 matches.
In the batting lineup, Tilak Varma has been the only consistent performer. The left-hander has scored 416 runs from 13 games, averaging 41.60 with a strike rate of 149.64. Former skipper Rohit Sharma started the season well but has struggled in the last few games.
Opener Ishan Kishan has had a tough season, failing to live up to expectations. However, star batter Suryakumar Yadav has delivered some crucial innings, providing some highlights for MI fans. He has scored 345 runs in 10 games, averaging 38.33 with a strike rate of 169.95. Ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been the standout performer, currently the second-highest wicket-taker of the season with 20 wickets in 13 matches and an economy rate of just 6.48. Unfortunately, no other bowler has consistently supported Bumrah.
In contrast, LSG will be entering the game after losing their last three matches to Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Delhi Capitals. With six wins and seven losses in 13 matches, LSG is in seventh place and aiming for a win against MI to stay in playoff contention.
LSG’s standout batsman has been their skipper KL Rahul. Although not at his best, he has scored 465 runs in 13 innings, averaging 35.76 with a strike rate of 136.36. Nicholas Pooran has also played some excellent innings, including two half-centuries, scoring 424 runs in 13 matches with an average of 60.57 and a strike rate of 168.92.
On the bowling front, Yash Thakur and Naveen-ul-Haq have had decent performances, picking up 11 wickets in 10 matches and 12 wickets in 9 matches, respectively. However, the young leg spinner hasn’t been at his best, and Krunal Pandya has only managed five wickets in 13 matches but has been economical, conceding runs at 7.79 per over.
