LSG vs MI Match Preview – IPL 2024, Match 48
Lucknow Super Giants
LSG’s inconsistent performance is proving to be a setback for their chances of making it to the playoffs in the IPL 2024 season. Despite winning some remarkable matches, such as Marcus Stoinis’ exceptional performance against CSK, they have also suffered unexpected defeats, like the one against RR. These inconsistencies have caused them to slide down to fifth place on the points table.
In their latest match, the team posted a commendable total of 196 runs, but unfortunately, they couldn’t defend it successfully. KL Rahul led the batting charge with a solid knock of 76 runs, while Deepak Hooda contributed with an exceptional innings of 50 runs. However, Marcus Stoinis, who had scored a century in the match against CSK, was dismissed without scoring in this game.
The team’s bowling performance was below par, as they conceded runs too easily, which ultimately impacted their ability to defend the total.
LSG Probable Playing-11
Ayush Badoni, Ravi Bishnoi, KL Rahul (c & wk), Marcus Stoinis, Krunal Pandya, Mohsin Khan, Deepak Hooda, Matt Henry, Yash Thakur, Quinton de Kock, Nicholas Pooran
Mumbai Indians
The Mumbai Indians’ captaincy transition hasn’t yielded the desired results this year, as they have slipped to 9th place on the points table with just 6 points from 9 games.
Adding to their woes, MI suffered a defeat to DC in a high-scoring encounter. Despite the team’s bowlers conceding a hefty total of 257 runs, MI showcased intent in their chase. However, they ultimately fell short by 10 runs, further highlighting their struggles in the tournament.
Bowling appears to be a significant concern for MI, as they have been leaking runs consistently. Apart from Jasprit Bumrah, none of the other bowlers have managed to perform consistently, which has put additional pressure on the team’s bowling unit.
