Mumbai Indians (MI) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are set to face-off again on 27 April at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. With both teams are in contention for playoffs, a win becomes crucial for both the sides.
MI, the five-time champions, have turned their season around after a poor start. Their recent victory against arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings (CSK) showcased their brilliance. MI’s explosive batting, coupled with brilliant bowling, makes them a formidable side. In contrast, LSG suffered an unexpected setback in their last match, where captain Rishabh Pant’s unusual batting position at No. 7 didn’t pay off. Despite a potent top order, LSG has struggled in the middle and lower order as experienced David Miller is not clicking. However, they’ve managed to pull off some remarkable wins despite these issues.

Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report:
The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is renowned for its batter-friendly surface, offering a flat pitch with reliable bounce and carry that lets batters play their shots with assurance. The quick outfield and relatively short boundaries contribute to frequent high-scoring contests, enabling batters to rack up big totals. Early in the match, seam bowlers can find some assistance from the new ball, as there is often a hint of swing and movement, especially if there is residual moisture in the surface. As the game progresses, spinners may come into play, extracting some turn off the red soil, though their impact is generally more pronounced in longer formats.
