KL Rahul is satisfied with the team’s performance. He notes the need to remain composed throughout their innings, as he believes they would have had greater scoring chances had they not lost wickets early on.
Naman Dhir bowled the final over, which Rohit used to hit sixes between long-on and deep midwicket. In this article, we will discuss the main points of Lucknow Super Giants Vs Mumbai Indians Match Scorecard.
Ishan Kishan (wk)
Kishan moved swiftly across his stumps and scooped an inviting full toss outside off, effortlessly flicking it towards square-leg boundary and reaching his half century in just 25 balls!
Tim David attempts to catch the ball but misses by inches. Nicholas Pooran then lofts the next delivery towards midwicket for a double strike.
Dewald Brevis bowls a slow delivery around off and it flies past long-on for a six! That pushes LSG’s score past 140 and reduces Mumbai’s playoff chances significantly.
Nehal Wadhera (c)
Nehal Wadhera has shown much promise with the bat, becoming LSG’s mainstay and reaching half century in this game. So far he has hit two fours and one six during his innings.
Nuwan Thushara bowls a back-of-length delivery with some drift that shapes towards Rahul but he mistimes it and it lands at deep square leg for a catch.
Thushara strikes with his debut delivery by taking Arshin Kulkarni for a duck on debut. LSG lose momentum but manage to close out with four wickets left – moving them up into third in the table while further diminishing Mumbai’s playoff chances; their seventh loss out of 10 meant they must win all remaining matches to qualify. Still, their fight was evident.
Naman Dhir
Naman Dhir, selected at Mumbai Indians’ 2024 auction, has proven an asset this season. As a lower middle order batsman with powerful strokeplay and adept at hitting crucial blows under pressure situations, Dhir has been an invaluable member of their squad.
He launched the opening ball for a SIX toward Cow Corner. Additional singles soon after followed up his scoreboard-flittering effort.
LSG were slow to get going in their chase but Marcus Stoinis kept them on course with an impressive 45-ball 62 from Marcus Stoinis and then put together an unbroken century stand with West Indian Richan, who hit eight maximums himself. LSG rose into third spot on the points table; Mumbai Indians fell further with seven defeats dimming any hope of top four finishes; they also saw fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah go down injured, eventually replaced by Sri Lankan pacer Nuwan Thushara.
Suryakumar Yadav
Suryakumar Yadav, better known by his initials SKY, is an aggressive lower middle-order batsman who can easily hit the ball into the stands. Following impressive domestic performances and being selected to join India in 2021 after impressive national performances in domestic cricket, Suryakumar made an outstanding debut internationally that year.
Today SKY seems in fine form and hits an unorthodox full toss into the stand for four runs before beating Pooran to hit over mid off for six – KL Rahul tried to overturn this decision but replays indicate it brushed his glove and it is safe call.
Dewald Brevis
Dewald Brevis is a South African cricketer currently playing for Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL). After debuting for Titans in 2022 and then being purchased by MI Cape Town at their auction of 2023.
He is a tall striker with excellent spin bowling credentials who boasts an impressive record against top teams in domestic T20 cricket, including scoring a fifty against Delhi Daredevils during 2022 season and even representing South Africa for several T20 matches.
Ishan Kishan and Nehal Wadhera were instrumental in leading Mumbai to a competitive total of 144/7 at Ekana Stadium, thanks to Ishan Kishan’s calm leadership at the top and Nehal Wadhera’s steadying influence. Tim David’s explosive late batting and Marcus Stoinis’ composed fifty then put their opponents in an ideal position to win, even after their initial poor start at Ekana Stadium. As such, they now find themselves second in the table with an excellent chance at qualifying for play-offs.
Romario Shepherd
Romario Shepherd may not have enjoyed an especially fruitful batting campaign this season, but his bowling performances have been exceptional. In three matches he took four wickets at an average of 23 per match – an achievement which should make you take notice!
All-rounder Aaron Leitch will be relieved to remain in LSG’s starting XI for this coming season, having been released from Hyderabad after only three games played for them and now signed by LSG at an identical fee.
Shepherd bowled a fuller ball aimed at Rohit’s middle stump; Rohit drove it straight to point for a single. Following this up with Stoinis hitting one over long off for six, that took them up to 144-8 in 17 overs.
Anshul Kamboj
Haryana seamer Amit Haryana claimed eight for 69 to give LSG an insurmountable first-innings lead while Abhimanyu Easwaran scored an unbeaten 157 not out – creating an unbroken fourth wicket stand of 207 runs that set Duleep Trophy records!
Stoinis continues his run-scoring spree as he drives off an off-length delivery angled towards leg, running it through deep backward square and scoring. KL Rahul reviews but sees only that Surya’s glove was touched during delivery – no review granted! Nabi bowls the final over of this match in frugal fashion, keeping his back of length rhythm to restrict runs for LSG in this final over, conceding only three runs off it; marking his second four-wicket haul of this match and becoming only seventh Indian to claim three five-wicket hauls since first-class cricket began; with this victory he now boasts 10 wickets from six innings played since last match!
Piyush Chawla
Piyush Chawla is a left-arm spinner for Mumbai Indians who specialises in slow bowling. In 2020’s auction he was their most valuable acquisition.
He is expected to make an appearance in India’s Test squad before touring Australia this year.
Thushara begins his innings by bowling a loopy delivery that Rahul easily defends for one run, before two more singles come off of his next over before Thushara takes his first wicket of the innings: trapping Stoinis frontward with a short full toss on the stumps that traps him, forcing a review that was lost by Stoinis before hitting him over long off for four to bring up 52 for LSG in their powerplay innings. Thushara conceded only three runs in an otherwise frugal over and thus was replaced by Krunal Pandya as an optimistic sign regarding Mayank’s injury.
Jasprit Bumrah
KL Rahul was pleased with clinching two points, but believes they could have gained even more momentum during their chase. Rahul credits bowlers with helping his batsmen remain in advantageous positions and relieving some pressure off them.
Marcus Stoinis kicks off for Mumbai and looks confident, hitting two sixes off Nuwan Thushara’s opening ball.
The new-ball pair are put under early pressure and the visitors need to step up their game quickly. Thushara bowls a fuller delivery angled towards Leg, Stoinis looks to defend but gets an inside edge which was caught at point by Thushara – this wicket proved crucial as it dampened Mumbai’s playoff hopes significantly and put Lucknow into third on the points table, whilst Mumbai were knocked out.
Arjun Tendulkar
Mumbai Indians bowling unit has been left without one of their key players, Jasprit Bumrah. To fill his spot on their team roster, they have brought in experienced fast bowler Arjun Tendulkar.
LSG vs MI Head to Head IPL Record
These two teams have met five times in the Indian Premier League, with each side winning four times each time. Most recently, both sides faced off against each other in a high-pressure Eliminator match last year – both sides will look to restore some pride and increase their run rate in this pivotal clash. Mayank Yadav should return for LSG following lower abdominal strain while Mohammad Nabi and Gerald Coetzee will form LSG’s attack alongside Mohammad Nabi and Gerald Coetzee while their rest of XI remains intact.
