Coming in great form with four consecutive wins, the Mumbai Indians (MI) are set to battle today against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Mumbai. Looking to add a fifth win, MI, with their strong batting and bowling lineup, need to maintain their teamwork and consistency. LSG need to buckle up in order to qualify for the playoffs. Mayank Yadav’s hopeful return in today’s match could work in favour of the team.
Pitch Report
The Wankhede Stadium’s pitch has been a batter-friendly one, and hence, any team winning the toss is expected to opt for chasing.
Head-to-Head
Out of a total of seven matches played, LSG have been victorious on six occasions, while MI have managed only a single win.
Three Fantasy Picks
Suryakumar Yadav (MI)
His presence in the team every season has proven beneficial, and this season has been no different. Yet again, he is proving himself as an experienced batter alongside Rohit Sharma and skipper Hardik Pandya.
Aiden Markram (LSG)
After spending three seasons with SRH, Markram’s all-rounder role has contributed well to LSG’s progress this season. With 326 runs and four wickets in nine matches so far, he is expected to perform with the same diligence against a team like MI.
Trent Boult (MI)
The bowler has been influential in giving MI a strong reason to maintain their dominance this season. His 4/26 performance against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) was a promising one, adding to his total of 10 wickets so far.
Fantasy XI
Hardik Pandya (C), Ryan Rickelton (WK), Rohit Sharma, Ayush Badoni, Shardul Thakur, Nicholas Pooran, Digvesh Rathi, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah, Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram (VC).
