The 448th game of the IPL 2024 will pit the Mumbai Indians against the Lucknow Super Giants. On April 30, the game will take place in Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium and will kick off at 7:30 PM IST.
In the previous game, the Lucknow Super Giants were defeated by the Rajasthan Royals. The squad was unable to hold the target after posting a score of 196–5. With five victories and four losses, LSG is ranked fifth in the standings. To make it into the playoffs, they must win three of their final five games.
The Mumbai Indians’ hopes of making the playoffs are in jeopardy. The previous game they played, they lost against Delhi Capitals. Out of the nine games played this season, MI has only won three of them. They have been incredibly average. MI, though, is still in the running for the playoffs. MI will make the playoffs if they win their final five games, but considering how the club has performed thus far, that won’t be an easy feat.
Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians Team Preview & Squads
Lucknow Super Giants
Following back-to-back wins over the Chennai Super Kings, the 2023 IPL Champions, Lucknow Super Giants lost their most recent game to the Rajasthan Royals after failing to hold a goal of 197 runs.
By the midway point, most commentators were supporting LSG after witnessing their captain, KL Rahul, smash an impressive 76 runs off 48 balls, while Deepak Hooda also scored 50 off 31 balls.
They only took three wickets against the Rajasthan Royals, so their bowling will need to be more effective in this match. Additionally, we should anticipate Ravi Bishnoi entering the attack before the 15th over that we witnessed on Saturday.

Mumbai Indians
In their most recent game, the Mumbai Indians proved once more that winning in an event with the caliber of talent that is the Indian Premier League does not necessarily mean having three or four of the best whiteball players in the world!
After losing by 10 runs to the Delhi Capitals on Saturday, Hardik Pandya’s team now has three straight losses and urgently needs to turn their season around.
Tim David has recently displayed some outstanding finishing, while Tilak Varma has helped the Mumbai Indians bat well. However, they truly need guys like Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav to shine in this game.
Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians outfield report
Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow
We predict that if either captain wins the toss, they will both opt to bowl first because the history books indicate that this pitch tends to grow a little easier to bat on as the game goes on.
Once more, Tuesday’s 2024 IPL action promises to be an extremely warm evening. There will be constant temperatures above thirty degrees and far lower humidity than at other locations.
Players and commentators alike often agree that this pitch is suitable for batting but not nearly as quick as some of the other high-scoring fields. A par score will therefore probably not exceed 200–210.
