MI vs LSG
Mumbai Indians take on Lucknow Super Giants in an important clash for both teams’ chances of qualifying for the playoffs. After four consecutive wins for MI and two straight defeats at LSG’s hands, both squads will look for ways to recover in this pivotal matchup at Wankhede Stadium.
Ekana Cricket Stadium’s pitch is well known to be conducive to powerful batsmen, who typically thrive on its surface. Yet this season has also witnessed some exceptional bowling performances by MI’s attack, restricting both SRH and CSK to subpar totals with its new ball providing fast bowlers an edge. When facing MI’s aggressive counter attack openers may find it challenging to build significant scores early.
Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Trent Boult and Jasprit Bumrah have all come into form recently for Mumbai Indians, who will look to extend their dominance against LSG. Rohit’s return has been particularly encouraging; with him scoring two half-centuries in two outings and showing an unwillingness to go for big shots which should prove beneficial for Mumbai.
LSG’s recent batting difficulties can be largely attributed to Rishabh Pant and David Miller’s struggles. Together they have only scored three runs across their last three innings; their absence from LSG left their middle order vulnerable. But with quality lower order batsmen such as Manimaran Siddharth, Aryan Juyal, and Digvesh available to them they will hope that run scoring rates can increase over the coming weeks.
Hardik Pandya will look to continue his impressive form with the ball after taking five wickets in two matches recently. Joined by Jasprit Bumrah who has looked good since returning from injury, both players will need to work together effectively in putting pressure on opponents while restricting their scoring opportunities for maximum chance at victory for their respective sides.
