Match Preview
Lucknow Super Giants are all set to engage in a thrilling contest with five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians. The match is scheduled for April 30 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow. In their last clash, Lucknow clashed against Rajasthan Royals and faced a seven-wicket defeat against the 2008 IPL winners. They are currently seated in the fourth spot in the standings.
Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, registered their second consecutive defeat and overall sixth defeat of the season as they went down to Delhi Capitals. The defeat pushed them to ninth spot in the standings. Both sides will take on the field to overturn their recent defeats and move ahead in the competition on a victorious note.
Toss Prediction
Lucknow and Mumbai have faced each other in four games in the past seasons of the tournament and this will be their first meet of the 17th edition. In all their matches, Mumbai Indians’ former captain Rohit Sharma won all the tosses over the LSG skipper. Considering this, we think it would be KL Rahul who emerges as the toss winner as the game will take place at LSG’s home ground.
Win Possibility
As mentioned LSG and MI have played four games in the cash-rich league thus far. Out of those four games, the Lucknow-based franchise emerged victorious in three games, whereas the joint-most IPL winners could clinch only one victory. This defines how a young team has single-handedly dominated one of the strongest teams in the tournament.
This season hasn’t gone well for Mumbai, as they have managed to win only three out of nine games. Mumbai, under Hardik Pandya’s captaincy, slumped to much weaker teams and grabbed bottom-second spot on the standings. Lucknow, on the other hand, have been consistent like other seasons and displayed some remarkable performances against stronger teams. The team, with their recent wins, moved to the fourth spot and wouldn’t be willing to leave the spot.
Needless to say, getting back on track would be a daunting task for Pandya and Co. and while they will try their best to win the game, the KL Rahul-led side would come up with a solid plan and make things more challenging. In addition to this, the home-ground factor would add to Lucknow’s chances of winning the game.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The Ekana Cricket Stadium of Lucknow is set to host Mumbai Indians in another exciting fixture of the IPL 2024. A total of 11 IPL games have taken place at the cricketing venue. The average first innings score of the stadium is 161, and in the upcoming match, it is expected to be around 175-185. The powerplay score of the match can hover around 50-55.
