LSG vs MI, the 37th match of Tata IPL 2022, is scheduled to be played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai from 7:30 PM IST on 24 April 2022.
Team Updates:
Lucknow Super Giants are on the 4th spot in the points table with 4 wins and 3 losses in the tournament. On the other hand, Mumbai Indians are on a losing streak of 7 matches so far in Tata IPL 2022.
LSG is one of the most balanced sides of IPL 2022. However, Mark Wood’s injury left a deep hole in their pace bowling attack. Avesh Khan has done well for them, but Dushmantha Chameera and Andrew Tye have been expensive.
Meanwhile, Mumbai probably has one of the worst bowling attacks in this year’s edition of IPL. Other than Jasprit Bumrah, MI have no bowler that poses any threat to the opposition. Jofra Archer’s absence in IPL 2022 is heavily costing them.
Lucknow Super Giants have found match-winners with the bat. The young Ayush Badoni is an exciting talent discovered by the franchise. Deepak Hood and Krunal Pandya have also come good for them in the middle.
On the other hand, Mumbai Indians have had a disastrous season with the bat. Except for Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma, all of their essential batters, including Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Kieron Pollard, are failing in the tournament.
Predicted Playing XIs:
LSG: KL Rahul (c), Quinton de Kock (wk), Manish Pandey, Marcus Stoinis, Deepak Hooda, Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya, Jason Holder, Dushmantha Chameera, Avesh Khan, Ravi Bishnoi
MI: Rohit Sharma (c), Ishan Kishan (wk), Dewald Brevis, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Kieron Pollard, Daniel Sams, M Ashwin/Hrithik Shokeen, Riley Meredith, Jaydev Unadkat, Jasprit Bumrah
Best Fantasy XI:
KL Rahul (c), Ishan Kishan, Dewald Brevis, Suryakumar Yadav (vc), Tilak Varma, Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya, Daniel Sams, Jason Holder, Riley Meredith, Ravi Bishnoi
Predicted Star Batter:
KL Rahul is one of the top batters to perform against Mumbai Indians in IPL. He is expected to shine again versus MI.
Predicted Star Bowler:
Dushmantha Chameera can pose problems with the new ball for the MI opening pair. That’s why he is our pick of the bowlers for the LSG vs MI clash.
LSG vs MI Predicted Winner:
Lucknow Super Giants are the favourites to win the contest.
