What Have The Two Teams Done So Far?
While Lucknow Super Giants have managed to keep themselves afloat despite losing their main fast bowler and are fifth on the IPL 2024 points table with 10 points from nine games, Mumbai Indians are languishing way behind on six from nine games, currently ninth.
Quick LSG vs MI Preview
Both teams are coming off a loss in their previous game but while Lucknow have built a solid foundation and are three wins away from making the playoffs, Mumbai Indians are scrambling for excuses to defend their rather appalling season so far.
Lucknow doesn’t boast of some of the best batters or bowlers in this format but what has been good to see is that someone or the other has managed to put their hand up to win the games for the side.
That did not quite happen with the ball for Lucknow against Rajasthan in their previous game though, what with only Krunal Pandya showing some resilience in their defence of 197.
Unfortunately for KL Rahul, who had made a 48-ball 76 and Deepak Hooda who smashed a 31-ball 50, none o the other bowlers managed to restrict the Royals.
Speaking of restricting and Mumbai Indians were in a bigger spot of bother with the ball.
Other than Jasprit Bumrah, none of the bowler went for less than nine an over against Delhi Capitals who slammed 257 against the Mumbai Indians bowling.
Luke Wood went for 68, and captain Pandya himself bowled just two overs and conceded 41.
In reply, Mumbai put up a fight but fell 10 runs short which Hardik blamed on the team’s batting against Axar. There is a good chance Mumbai Indians could get things right quicker if the captain could start looking at his own captaincy for starters.
