Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) came into the Indian Premier League just a couple of seasons ago. They haven’t faced the Mumbai Indians (MI) much, as the five-time champions have one solitary win in LSG’s winning margin of 3-1 in the LSG vs MI clashes.

Mumbai hasn’t picked many wickets in the powerplay of this IPL 2024. However, the numbers suggest that they have kept the batters quiet in this period. Their economy of 8.60 is the third-best in this season among all the teams.

Jasprit Bumrah led this powerplay attack from the front. His four powerplay wickets in eight innings have come at an economy of just over five. In the modern T20 where the economy has been generally over 11, Bumrah has gone at a criminal economy rate.

For the Lucknow Super Giants, the story is almost the same. Their 9.10 economy has put them at four among the ten teams in the IPL 2024. In this process, they also took the joint third-most wickets (13) in the first six overs. Mohsin Khan is the best bowler, but his four wickets in 10 powerplay overs have come at an economy rate of nine.
