Team News
Mumbai Indians
MI are expected to play with the same eleven they used in the last game. Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan are set to open the inning with the bat but the duo have struggled a lot in recent games. Rohit and Ishan will try to make a comeback in this match and end the season positively. Suryakumar Yadav was a huge flop in the last game but he has scored 345 runs this season.

Hardik Pandya hasn't delivered this season and needs to work on himself as the World Cup is coming soon too. Tim David and Romario Shepherd have done an average job batting down the order and need to improve a lot. Tilak Varma played a short cameo while Nehal Wadhera failed to score runs once again.

Jasprit Bumrah is consistently delivering brilliant spells in every game. Piyush Chawla picked up two wickets in the last match while Thushara scalped one. Mumbai doesn't have many bowling options left and they have to give everything to clinch a victory in their final game of the season.

Lucknow Super Giants
Kl Rahul and Pooran are the highest run scorers of LSG this season. Rahul has scored 465 runs this season already while Pooran has contributed with 424 runs. However, Rahul is not in good form and struggling to find runs. Pooran on the other end, scored runs in the last match and LSG will hope him to do the same against MI too.

Ayush Badoni and Marcus Stoinis are not consistent and the middle order has been an issue for the Lucknow-based franchise for some time. Pooran is the only one who is contributing with important knocks. Krunal Pandya hasn't scored enough runs as an all-rounder so there have been lots of issues in LSG's batting.

Yash Thakur hasn't bowled well after scalping five wickets against Gujarat. Arshad is struggling too. Ravi Bishnoi and Mohsin Khan delivered a tight 8-over spell in the previous game but the others leaked so many runs cheaply.
