In the face of more than a month of winless home runs, the Lucknow Super Giants’ ‘Adab Se Harayenge’ campaign is beginning to show indications of being slightly ineffectual. In fact, it may be taking their nawabi warmth a bit too far for their own comfort. They also take on the misbehaving Mumbai Indians team, who are prepared to strengthen their campaign at the most critical time.
For the tourists, a lot appears to be out of place on the surface.
Due to their separate ailments, Jasprit Bumrah and Jofra Archer are no longer expected to play. And in terms of the team MI has put together, there is no near equivalent for them in the world of cricket.
Rohit Sharma has struggled to regain his form for a number of seasons in a row.
Two powerful South African batters, Dewald Brevis and Tristan Stubbs, who were prepared for the IPL’s rigours last season, are simply not given enough chances to flourish.
Their discovery from the previous season, Tilak Verma, is unclear.
Despite having a slow start to the season, the Mumbai Indians still have a chance to finish in the top two.
The present stage is challenging for both teams, and because to Mumbai Indians’ timely momentum, Piyush Chawla has already warned them not to go over the fine line between confidence and overconfidence.
The team’s recent success has been largely attributed to MI’s strong batting, which has allowed them to chase down 200+ scores with ease and score enormous runs. In Lucknow, the challenges would be different.
They would need to change their approach from the fast, flat tracks to the slow turners. Their recent struggles in Chennai only make matters worse, and they will suffer much more on LSG’s home ground, which has seen the fewest goals scored this year by a significant margin.
They have yet to defeat LSG in the IPL, if prior performance is any indicator. The visitors might still get two points, though. In each of their most recent defeats, KL Rahul scored a century. He won’t be accessible at this time. Second, despite the wealth of spinners with experience and spin options, LSG hasn’t come up with a plan for long-term success on the site and in the competition.
When:Tuesday, May 16, 2023, 7:30 PM IST
Where: Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians, BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow
What to anticipate: Two weeks ago, the last full game at the venue was played. The situation for the batters is not anticipated to get much better, despite the fact that the temperature has dramatically increased since then. Clubs would try to bat first as long as worries about the state of the pitch linger. Despite the focus on spinners, pacers have been as effective, picking up wickets more frequently than spinners and striking almost as frequently at almost the same average. The pacers often allow one extra run per over.
Head to head: LSG 2 – 0 MI. Even though LSG won both matches against MI last season, both victories were made possible by KL Rahul, who won’t be playing against MI on Tuesday.
Team Watch:
Lucknow Super Giants:
Matchups & Tactics: Marcus Stoinis can be dropped from the batting order if Mumbai Indians use Chris Jordan in the final few overs. Jordan has never been able to dismiss Stoinis in a T20 game, and he also let the Australian all-rounder 125 runs in 52 balls.
Probable XII: Quinton de Kock, Kyle Mayers, Prerak Mankad, Marcus Stoinis, Nicholas Pooran, Krunal Pandya, Ayush Badoni, K Gowtham, Yudhvir Charak/Yash Thakur, Ravi Bishnoi, Amit Mishra, Avesh Khan
Mumbai Indians:
No information has yet been provided on Tilak Varma’s injuries or current whereabouts. His participation in the game is still uncertain.
Matchups & Tactics: In this IPL, Nehal Wadhera has had a respectable amount of success with just two dismissals in 68 balls and a strike rate of 169.12. He could be willing to take on LSG’s four-man spin attack in the middle overs.
Probable XII: Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Cameron Green, Suryakumar Yadav, Nehal Wadhera, Tim David, Hrithik Shokeen, Piyush Chawla, Chris Jordan, Kumar Kartikeya, Akash Madhwal, Jason Behrendorff
