Pitch Report
Analysis
Mumbai Indians will look to end a dismal 2024 on a positive note at home. This IPL hasn’t gone in MI’s favour with injuries, the form of key players and results. But despite a bottom-two finish, Mumbai have found a few gems that could be crucial in the future. The MI batting has looked decent in patches with Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav finding form. On the bowling front, Jasprit Bumrah has been the best bowler across the tournament while Gerald Coetzee has looked good for Mumbai.
After a strong start, the Lucknow Super Giants’ campaign was derailed after a few disappointing results. The Lucknow batting has been a massive disappointment with players like KL Rahul, Quinton de Kock, Marcus Stoinis and Nicholas Pooran failing to score runs at a consistent clip. In the bowling department, Lucknow’s inexperienced attack has also lacked consistency with the spinners failing to find form.
