Pitch Report: MI vs LSG: Match 26

Pitch Report: A relatively high-scoring game beckons with there being little help on offer for the bowlers. The batters will look to attack from the start despite there being some swing on offer for the pacers. The spinners will have to be clever with their lines and lengths to make the most out of the pitch. Wickets in hand will be key, with both teams likely to prefer batting first upon winning the toss.

Head to Head Stats:

Both the teams are playing for the first time against each other as LSG is a newcomer this season.

Injury News:

There is no injury news till now from both teams.

Team News: MI vs LSG

Mumbai Indians :

Rohit-led Mumbai Indians suffered consecutive five defeats in the tournament. They lost their last game against Punjab Kings by just 12 runs. Nothing is going well for the paltan till now. However, the only good thing for them is Dewald Brevis, who smoked 49 runs against Punjab. Surya has been terrific so far in the tournament as he is the main key of Mumbai Indians batting currently. Can the paltan make a comeback just like they did in 2014 or else they will suffer another defeat here?

Lucknow Super Giants :

Meanwhile, KL Rahul led Lucknow Super Giants have secured three wins in five games so far in the tournament. They are currently in fifth place on the points table with six points in five games. They failed to chase down the target set by Rajasthan in their previous game. But the good news for the franchise is that Marcus Stoinis is back again with the team as he played in the last game. Ayush Badoni is the youngster from this team who impressed everyone with his finishing skills. Otherwise, it's skipper Rahul and De Kock who have been the main pillar of the Lucknow team.
