Lucknow vs Mumbai on April 30

Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants will play each other in the 48th match of the IPL 2024. The match will take place at Bharat Ratna Sri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on April 30 at 7:30 PM (IST). Both teams would be desperate for a win, given the stiff challenge in the mid-table at the moment. No team has officially been eliminated from the league, and this promises to be a good contest. LSG are placed in the fifth position in the points table. They have a total of five wins and four losses in their nine matches so far. Their positive net rate of +0.059 has kept them ahead of DC in the table. On the other hand, MI is placed in the ninth position in the points table. Only RCB are below them in the standings. They have three wins and six losses in their nine matches. Their net run rate of -0.261 has pushed them below PBKS in the table. They would be hoping to beat LSG by a big margin. Both teams lost their previous matches. While MI lost to DC by just 10 runs in a high-scoring thriller, LSG lost to RR in their own backyard by conceding the highest run chase at home. They have some good players in their lineup like KL Rahul, Quinton De Kock, Marcus Stoinis, Nicholas Pooran, Krunal Pandya, Matt Henry, and others. MI has a good set of players in their lineup like Ishan Kishan, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, and others.

Best economical pick – Ayush Badoni is a good finisher. He can play a few cameos lower down the order and make an impact on the result. If required, he can bowl an over or two. Not to forget, he is a brilliant fielder in the outfield and takes some stunning catches.

Top captains & vice captains – KL Rahul could be the best batter in the upcoming game against Mumbai Indians. With 378 runs in his last nine matches, Rahul has been in brilliant form, and he looked dangerous in the previous clash against Rajasthan Royals as well. The skipper will aim to continue showcasing his skills. Hardik Pandya returned to form in the last game by playing a fine cameo lower down the order. He has not been able to deliver as well with the bat or with the ball. But as MI is in a dire need of wins, Hardik would be hungry to step up as a player.

Smart pick – Jasprit Bumrah could be the best bowler in the upcoming clash against Lucknow Super Giants. Bumrah has been exceptional for his side, taking 14 wickets in his last nine matches, and the ace pacer will strive to continue his form and put in a good spell against LSG.

Cautious Pick – Gerald Coetzee did not play the last game against DC due to an injury. The update on his spot in the XI against LSG is yet to be confirmed. However, it will be risky to have him in the side given his return to the side potentially not being at his fittest.

My XI – KL Rahul (Captain), Hardik Pandya (Vice-Captain), Jasprit Bumrah, Ayush Badoni, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Nicholas Pooran, Quinton de Kock, Marcus Stoinis, Ishan Kishan, Krunal Pandya
