Today is Super Saturday in IPL. The first match of the day will be played between Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants. This match will be held at Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai. The current tournament has been like a nightmare for five-time champions Mumbai Indians. The team has lost the first 5 matches and Mumbai has nothing more than a win to stay in the race for the playoffs.
At the same time, talking about Lucknow, the team has played 5 matches so far and has been successful in winning 3. The team had to face defeat in two matches. In the last match, Lucknow had to face defeat in a close match against Rajasthan Royals.
Mumbai's record is better at Brabourne Stadium
Mumbai Indians' record at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai has been quite impressive. The team has played a total of 9 IPL matches on this ground, winning 6 and losing 3 in it. However, this season too Rohit and Co played their first match at this ground and the team had to face defeat against Delhi Capitals. Overall, the figures on this ground go in favor of MI.
Seniors will have to take responsibility
If Mumbai has to avoid a defeat again, then the senior players of the team will have to perform. From captain Rohit Sharma to Kieron Pollard, they have not been seen in color so far. The bat of Ishan Kishan, who scored two consecutive fifties in the first two matches, has also got rusted. Hitman has scored 108 runs in 5 innings, while Pollard's bat has seen only 57 runs.
Jasprit Bumrah is also not in rhythm in the bowling department. He has taken 4 wickets in 5 matches. Bumrah's economy has also been around 8. At the same time, Tymal Mills, playing his first season for MI, has taken 6 wickets, but his economy rate is also around 10.
Stoinis return plus point for LSG
Lucknow, captained by KL Rahul, has impressed the cricket pundits with its performance in this tournament. Captain Rahul's performance for the team has been mixed, but the young players are consistently leaving their mark. Ayush Badoni, who scored runs at a strike rate of 149 in 5 matches, has become everyone's favorite on seeing it. At the same time, Deepak Hooda is also in good colors in the middle order.
Also, the addition of Marcus Stoinis to the team is the biggest plus point for LSG. In the last match against Rajasthan Royals, Stoinis kept Lucknow in the match till the last ball while batting brilliantly. He can bat in any order and can also bowl an economical 4-over spell.
Krunal will play against MI
Krunal Pandya, who made his IPL debut for Mumbai Indians in 2016, will be playing against MI for the first time. Mumbai had released Krunal before the mega auction, after which Lucknow bought him for Rs 8.25 crore. Apart from scoring 68 runs in 5 matches of the current season, Pandya has also taken 3 wickets.
