Match Preview
As they go to the Wankhede Stadium to
face the Mumbai Indians (MI) on Friday, May 17, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)
will be eager to conquer their last obstacle in the hopes of advancing to the
playoffs. This will be the case when they visit the stadium.
With 12 points after playing in 13
games, LSG is currently in sixth place. To be eligible to compete in the
knockout stages, they must achieve a victory. A net run rate (NRR) of -0.787,
on the other hand, makes things a little bit more challenging for KL Rahul and
the rest of the team. In order for them to achieve a top-four finish, which is
very unlikely, they will need to win by a significant margin and will also need
other outcomes to fall in their favor.
The Mumbai Indians, on the other hand,
may find some consolation in the news that their dreadful Indian Premier League
2024 season will come to an end following their match against the London
Supergiants.
MI has been one of the weakest teams
in the league this season, with just four victories to their name. Rumored
issues within the dressing room have not only plagued them, but their senior
players have also fallen short of expectations.
MI vs LSG: Pitch Report
For the most part, the surface at
Wankhede Stadium has been favorable to batsmen, as evidenced by the fact that
several sides have easily scored around 200 runs and often exceed that
threshold.
The Wankhede Stadium has hosted 117
Indian Premier League games up to this point, and the average score in the
first innings has been 170. On the other hand, the average score for the first
innings in the Indian Premier League since 2022 is 176, which indicates that
batters are getting more out of the pitch.
On the other hand, the team that bats second has seen a great deal more success
than the other team. Over the course of 117 Indian Premier League games, there
have been 64 victories in run chases, and 21 victories have occurred in only 34
games since 2022.

MI vs LSG: Prediction
Should LSG choose to bat after winning
the toss, they should aim for a total of 170-185 runs. We expect the Mumbai
Indians to win this game.
MI is still the favorite to win if
they win the toss and choose to bat, where they should aim to score between 180
and 195 runs.
One team has everything at risk (LSG),
while the other team has nothing else to lose (MI). These two teams are going
to compete against each other.
For LSG, the outcome is either a victory or a loss. With a win, they will have
14 points, which would put them in fourth place at the very least. Lose, and
they will have to wait until next year to earn their first Indian Premier
League championship. The men in blue and gold will compete for no other reason
than to be proud of themselves. The rest of the season has been a complete and
total failure, and they will be hoping that their last league game will provide
their supporters with something compelling to root for.
During this season, Michigan had a record of three wins and three losses at
Wankhede Stadium, which is considered to be an average record. Furthermore, in
the past, LSG has shown a surprising propensity to fail in the most important
games possible. Consequently, it is quite probable that MI will put an end to
LSG's dreams, regardless of how flimsy they may be.
