Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians Predictions

Both teams have won one and lost two this season. I am backing Mumbai as they won their last match in convincing fashion. The Super Giants lost by eight wickets in their last match.

Mumbai Indians’ Ryan Rickelton's last 9 knocks have been 44, 33, 57, 103, 27 & 62*.
Mumbai Indians’ Suryakumar Yadav has scored 29, 48 & 27* in the IPL this season.
Lucknow Super Giants’ Nicholas Pooran has scored 42, 75, 70 & 44 in his last 4 innings.
Lucknow Super Giants’ Mitchell Marsh has scored 72 & 52 in his last 3 innings.

Head-to-Head

The Super Giants have won four of their last five matches against Mumbai, including the last two in a row.

Lucknow Super Giants Form

After beating the Super Giants by five wickets, the Super Giants fell to an eight-wicket loss against the Punjab Kings.

Nicholas Pooran (44 off 30 balls) led a recovery from 35/3, but when he departed at 89/4 the innings slowed and the Super Giants struggled to reach 171/7 off their 20 overs.

Digvesh Rathi (2/30) picked up the only Punjab wickets to fall as they knocked off their target in 16.2 overs.

Lucknow Super Giants Team News

The Super Giants are relying a lot on runs from Nicholas Pooran. The rest of their top-order needs to start contributing urgently to lift the Super Giants into the playoff places.

Mumbai Indians Form

The Mumbai Indians ended a horror run of four defeats stretching back to last season by beating the Knight Riders by eight wickets with 43 balls in hand.

Ashwani Kumar returned figures of 4/24 (econ 8.00) as Mumbai rolled the Knight Riders for 116 in 16.2 overs.

Ryan Rickelton led Mumbai to their first win of the season, scoring an undefeated 62 off 41 balls as Mumbai completed the win off 12.5 overs.

Mumbai Indians Team News

Star speedster Jasprit Bumrah is fit and match-ready but is being withheld by the BCCI to ensure his fitness for the upcoming Test series. It’s unknown when (or if) he will join the Mumbai squad this season.

Verdict

Lucknow Super Giants v Mumbai Indians - T20

I am backing Mumbai Indians to win. I am also backing Ryan Rickelton to top score for Mumbai Indians.

Nicholas Pooran is a good bet to top score for the Lucknow Super Giants.
