The five-time champions, Mumbai Indians have been going through a horrible time in this Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Before the LSG vs MI clash, the visitors at the Ekana Stadium couldn’t afford a single slip-up from here on.
Mumbai Indians have shown the power in the first six overs of their batting. They have the fourth-best strike rate of 160.19 among the ten teams in this IPL 2024. However, in this process, they have lost the third most wickets (15) in this edition, which has affected the number of runs they have collected.
They also have been excellent in this period when it comes to six-hitting abilities. Their 28 sixes in this period is the third most in this duration of this league.
On the flip of the coin, the issue for Lucknow has been with the bat in individual performances. Quinton de Kock has struggled so far in this IPL 2024 going into the LSG vs MI clash, with 236 runs in nine innings at an average of just 26 and a strike rate of just over 135. His fifties in this season suggest that when he has got set, he has delivered.
This means they have the second-lowest strike rate of 132.41 in the first six overs of the IPL 2024, with the lowest runs of 429 in nine innings in this period.
