Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will host the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 48th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. The LSG vs MI take place at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Stadium, Lucknow, on April 30, 2024.
Lucknow began this current edition of the tournament on the back of a defeat against Rajasthan Royals. Since then, some accurate bowling helped them secure three back-to-back victories, thanks to their skill of defending totals.
They slipped again in a couple of successive games, before bringing their campaign back on track with two fabulous wins over the Chennai Super Kings. However, a defeat in the last game in the hands of the Rajasthan Royals dropped them to number five with five wins in nine games at a net run rate (NRR) of +0.059.
Mumbai Indians had a horrible start in their IPL 2024 campaign. It took them almost a couple of weeks in the competition to taste their first victory against Delhi Capitals by a 29-run margin, before backing it with another seven-wicket win over the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
Just when it seemed like they had picked up the pace at the right time, they fell thrice in the next four games and were pushed down to the penultimate position with an NRR of -0.261 in nine games, going into the LSG vs MI encounter.
Except for Jasprit Bumrah, who is currently the joint highest wicket-taker of this IPL 2024 with 14 wickets at an economy of 6.63, none of the bowlers have stood up for Mumbai, while the inconsistent batting of LSG under the microscope before the first LSG vs MI clash of the IPL 2024.
