MI vs LSG Team Previews
Mumbai Indians
The Mumbai Indians have just one win to show for their last six IPL matches. The five-time champions have endured a forgettable 2024 campaign. They still have pride to play for - and perhaps the opportunity to steer clear of bottom position in the 10-team points table. Mumbai will be hard pressed against a motivated Lucknow team.
Tilak Varma and Rohit Sharma have not reached the hefty heights of other batters in this year's IPL, but remain Mumbai's most prolific scorers this season. Varma has hit 416 runs to Sharma's 349. They have both batted 13 times. Relinquishing the captaincy seems to have limited rather than empowered Sharma's role at the top of the order.
Jasprit Bumrah has characteristically been Mumbai's standout performer with the ball. He has collected 20 wickets and, while other bowlers have copped big economy rates, Bumrah has collected a miserly 6.48 across 51.5 economical overs. Piyush Chawla, meanwhile, has been Mumbai's most successful spinner this IPL season with 10 wickets in as many matches.
Mumbai Indians Playing 11
Naman Dhir, Dewald Brevis, Suryakumar Yadav, Nehal Wadhera, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Romario Shepherd, Anshul Kamboj, Piyush Chawla, Arjun Tendulkar, Nuwan Thushara.
Lucknow Super Giants
Lucknow collected five wins in seven matches, but that decent stretch of form has since taken a backseat to four defeats in five fixtures. Lucknow might still advance to the play-offs, but are going to have to beat Mumbai - and keep winning thereafter - to do this.
KL Rahul and Nicholas Pooran are still the leading run-scorers for the Super Giants in this IPL. Rahul has gathered 465 runs in 13 innings and Pooran 424 in 13. Rahul has been striking at almost 170 per 100 deliveries, while Rahul has been going at 136 per 100.
Naveen-ul-Haq recently overtook Yash Thakur as LSG's top wicket-taker this year. Thakur held the mantle for an extended period, but Naveen's five wickets in his last three matches yielded the new leader. The Afghanistan seamer has bowled with good pace and accuracy.
Lucknow Super Giants Playing 11
Lokesh Rahul, Devdutt Padikkal, Marcus Stoinis, Deepak Hooda, Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni, Arshad Khan, Matt Henry, Krunal Pandya, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohsin Khan.
MI vs LSG Toss Prediction
This will be the seventh match of the 2024 IPL at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. On the six previous occasions, the toss has brought six decisions to field first. Only three of those decisions resulted in victory.
It's likelty the team to win the toss this time will take their cue from that recent record and opt to bowl first, too.
Read our guide on toss predictions to learn how we analyze and come up with our tips.
Pitch and Conditions
The Wankhede Stadium has produced first-innings scores of 125, 234, 196, 206, 169 and 173 this IPL season. This venue isn't necessarily among the highest-scoring in the tournament.
A first-innings total of 180-plus can be considered competitive here. Both teams will likely play two specialist slow bowlers.
No rain is forecast in Mumbai on matchday. Hot and humid conditions are anticipated.
MI vs LSG Betting Tips
Mumbai have homeground advantage and, perhaps, a bit more momentum than Lucknow. Bumrah will be a big factor, especially if Chawla and company can follow suit.
Bet on 1.70 favourites Mumbai Indians to beat 2.15 underdogs Lucknow Super Giants in this IPL match.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Bet on the home side to win the toss. They have a 50 percent chance of getting this right. If Mumbai win the toss, they will probably choose to bowl first.
Varma is Mumbai's leading run-scorer this season. He has been in fine form. His last innings at the Wankhede Stadium was a match-winning 37 not out against the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Bumrah has been largely pinpoint accurate this IPL season. His slower ball and trademark yorkers have impressed again. Anticipate another big performance from Mumbai's top wicket-taker in 2024.
Naveen is in an excellent patch of form amid five wickets in his last three matches. Lucknow have empowered him and his grabbing the opportunity with both hands. Look forward to another telling performance from LSG's top wicket-taker this season.
Rahul put in a valuable contribution at the top of the order and help two important catches behind the stumps the last time LSG and MI met. Lucknow won then and, this time, could win again if their captain fires well.
