LSG vs MI Team Previews

Lucknow Super Giants

The Lucknow Super Giants have been a bit inconsistent this year, managing to win only one of the 3 matches they played. As a result, the team has slipped to the 6th place on the table.

The Lucknow Super Giants have a batting unit that is dotted by some talented international batsmen like Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, Nicholas Pooran, and David Miller. Pooran has been in exceptional form, scoring 2 half-centuries in his 3 outings, and is the leading run-scorer of the tournament.

Marsh has batted well too, facing the new ball with confidence. However, Miller and Markram have struggled to get going. Rishabh Pant, who came into the LSG squad amidst much fanfare, has struggled as well and is averaging just over 5 runs.

The bowling has been a hit or a miss as well. Shardul Thakur is the team’s leading wicket-taker with 6 wickets but has received little support from Avesh Khan. The spinners have fared slightly better with Ravi Bishnoi and Digvesh Rathi picking up 8 wickets between themselves.

Lucknow Super Giants Expected Playing 11

Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, Nicholas Pooran, David Miller, Rishabh Pant (C & WK), Ayush Badoni, Abdul Samad, Ravi Bishnoi, Digvesh Rathi, Avesh Khan, Shardul Thakur

Mumbai Indians

As has been the case over the past few seasons, the Mumbai Indians didn’t have a perfect start to this edition as well. However, the team managed to turn things around, scoring their first win of the season on Monday. They will now hope to keep the winning momentum going.

Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickleton will look to give the team a strong start in this match. Sharma’s form has been a concern for the team but given his experience, it is a matter of time before he gets going. The team management will be happy with the way Rickleton batted and will hope that he continues doing the same.

The middle order has experienced batsmen like Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, and Naman Dhir. While they have got some good starts, the team will need them to play a big knock. The seamers have performed well, with Ashwani Kumar bowling a brilliant spell on debut.

Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar have bowled well too, but the team is sorely missing the services of Jasprit Bumrah. Vignesh Puthur is the team’s best spinner with 4 wickets but Mitchell Santner and Mujeeb Ur Rahman need to bowl better.

Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickleton (WK), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (C), Naman Dhir, Suryakumar Yadav, Trent Boult, Ashwani Kumar, Deepak Chahar, Mitchell Santner, Vignesh Puthur

LSG vs MI Toss Prediction

6 of the last 10 matches played have been won after batting first. In half of those matches, the skipper winning the toss has opted to bowl first. Looking at the recent trend, fielding first might be a better option.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitch at the Ekana Stadium is likely to be balanced. There is an even covering of grass and there might be some help for the seamers early on in the innings. The batsmen will have to be careful while selecting their shots during the Powerplay. As the match progresses, the pitch gets easier to bat on.

That could largely be due to the effect of the due.

The team batting first will look to score around 190 runs. The weather will be warm with temperatures between 25 and 30 degrees.

LSG vs MI: Who Will Win?

LSG and MI have both been inconsistent so far but we think the Mumbai Indians are the team to back in this contest. Strangely, even though this is a home match for LSG, we think it is the Mumbai Indians team that will be better suited to the conditions. If MI can get Nicholas Pooran out early, they can win this match and get their campaign back on track.

LSG vs MI win percentage stands at 59% in favor of MI.
