Mumbai Indians vs Lucknow Super Giants Match Analysis

On Friday night, the Mumbai Indians and the Lucknow Super Giants square off in Match 67 of the 2024 Indian Premier League at the Wankhede Stadium. Mumbai, with eight points from 13 games, may finish the season at the bottom of the standings. Although the Lucknow Super Giants can still finish with 14 points, their low net run rate will likely prevent them from qualifying for the postseason. Continue reading for a preview of this match, which starts on May 17 at 19:30 local time.

There is no denying that the Mumbai Indians have elite players on their team as they defeated the formidable Sunrisers Hyderabad just two games ago. Even though they had a poor tournament, they ought to be able to win this match.

The Lucknow Super Giants endured a dismal run of form after appearing certain to make the post-season play-offs. Although they played with a little bit more vigor in their previous game, there probably won’t be much optimism in the team going into this one.

Mumbai Indians vs Lucknow Super Giants Team Preview & Squads

Mumbai Indians

Mumbai Indians selected their strongest team possible in their last game despite already being eliminated from the championship and competing for pride; we anticipate more of the same in this encounter. There are no newly disclosed injury concerns within the team. 

Virender Tilak having scored just seven runs in the last match against the Lucknow Super Giants, the 21-year-old left-hander will be eager to contribute after hitting five fours and one six in the most recent game. Big-hitting right-hander Suryakumar Yadav, who has amassed 103 half-centuries in the IPL 2024, is a constant threat at the wicket.  

On this Wankhede pitch, Piyush Chawla, a spinner, might pose a threat after taking the wickets of Andre Russell and Venkatesh Iyer against KKR. The Indian international Jasprit Bumrah is a dangerous wicket-taker whenever he has the ball in his hands, and he wants to finish this competition with further dismissals.

Hardik Pandya (c), Piyush Chawla, Jasprit Bumrah, Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Tim David, Anshul Kamboj, Naman Dhir, Suryakumar Yadav, Nehal Wadhera, and Tilak Varma.

Lucknow Super Giants

The Lucknow Super Giants made a few adjustments before their Tuesday loss to the Delhi Capitals to salvage a result that would have kept them in the running for the playoffs. Since their chances of progressing are now so slim, there may be more changes in store for this game.

This year, Captain KL Rahul has increased his strike rate and is once again the highest run scorer for Lucknow, leading the team by 41 runs over the closest rival. With ten boundaries and 61 runs off 27 balls against Delhi Capitals, left-hander Nicholas Pooran put up another fantastic performance.

The speedy bowler Naveen-ul-Haq has a great slower ball, but he must use restraint when facing some of the best hitters in this game. The spinner Ravi Bishnoi has had a mixed tournament this year, but he showed promise against the Delhi Capitals by taking 1/26 in the most recent game.

Mumbai Indians vs Lucknow Super Giants outfield report

Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai

In the last eight IPL games played at Wankhede Stadium, the team that bats first has won four and the team that fields first has won four. We anticipate that both skippers will prefer to field early in this match as the humidity rises throughout the game.

On Friday night, the temperature in Mumbai will remain in the low thirties throughout the evening. As the game goes on, there will be an increase in cloud cover. At this location, quick and slow bowlers have combined for 31 wickets in the last two IPL games. In the initial overs, we should expect to see the most swing, even though the ball will be harder and travel to the boundary faster. A total of about 180 will satisfy whoever bats first.
