Mumbai Indians vs Lucknow Super Giants Predictions

Lucknow Super Giants have the slightest of chances to make the playoffs and would need a massive win over the Mumbai Indians, who are bottom of the table. I am backing Mumbai to beat the Super Giants as the latter go for broke.

Mumbai Indians’ Suryakumar Yadav has scored 26, 56 & 102* in his last 5 innings.
Mumbai Indians’ Tilak Varma has scored 63, 37* & 32 in his last 5 innings.
Lucknow Super Giants’ Nicholas Pooran has scored 48* & 61 in his last 2 innings.
Lucknow Super Giants’ KL Rahul has scored 76, 28, 25 & 29 in his last 5 innings.

Head-to-Head

The Super Giants have won four of the last five matches between the sides. Including the group match between the two sides at the end of April.

Mumbai Indians Form

Mumbai have won just one of their last six games. They lost their last match by 18 runs to the Knight Riders in a rain-reduced match.

Some excellent bowling from Jasprit Bumrah (2/39) and Piyush Chawla (2/28) restricted the Knight Riders to 157/7 off their 16 overs.

Mumbai started well thanks to knocks of 40 off 22 balls by Ishan Kishan and 32 off 17 by Tilak Varma, but they couldn’t keep up with the asking rate, ending on 139/8 off their 16 overs.

Mumbai Indians Team News

There are no injury reports from the Mumbai Indians squad.

Lucknow Super Giants Form

After the Super Giants beat Mumbai at the end of April, they lost their next three games. Their last match was a 19-run defeat at the hands of the Delhi Capitals.

The Capitals posted 208/4 off their 20 overs. Naveen-ul-Haq (2/51) was the pick of the Super Giants bowlers.

The Super Giants were struggling at 44/4 before Nicholas Pooran gave them hope with an innings of 61 off 27 balls, but they could only manage 189/9 off their 20 overs.

Lucknow Super Giants Team News

The Super Giants are likely to tweak their side and load their batting as they push for an outside chance of making the playoffs.

Verdict

Mumbai Indians v Lucknow Super Giants

I am backing Mumbai Indians to win. I am also backing Suryakumar Yadav to top score for Mumbai Indians.

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