Lucknow Super Giants(LSG) and Mumbai Indians(MI) are set to lock horns in the 37th match of the Indian Premier League(IPL) on Sunday, April 24 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. In their previous encounter, the KL Rahul-led side had emerged victorious by 8 runs.
Lucknow Super Giants:
Lucknow Super Giants have had a great run so far in the campaign but they are heading into the match losing their previous game against the Royal Challengers Bangalore by a close margin. With four wins in seven games, LSG is placed fourth in the points table and is unlikely to make changes to their playing XI. With 4 wins in 7 matches, LSG would be looking to continue being in this position after this match.
Mumbai Indians:
The Mumbai Indians are on a disaster of a run in the ongoing IPL campaign. Their dismal form this season after losing their previous encounter against the Chennai Super Kings have disappointed the fans. With seven losses in seven games, the Rohit Sharma-led side is almost out of contention for a spot in the playoffs and they will be looking to get back to winning ways to salvage some pride. The Mumbai side did put up a fight in their previous game but endured a loss. They are expected to go in with the same playing XI.
