LSG vs MI key battles:

Mitchell Marsh vs Trent Boult

The battle between Mitchell Marsh and Trent Boult in the first six overs will play a vital role in deciding which way the LSG vs MI game will head, as Mitchell Marsh has been in good form in the last couple of matches and made full use of the powerplay.

Boult, on the other hand, found his mojo in the last game against KKR as he picked up the crucial wicket of Narine to restrict the scoring rate. The experienced fast bowler would hope to replicate the performance against LSG

Nicholas Pooran vs Vignesh Puthur

Nicholas Pooran, who has been in great form with the bat for LSG in the ongoing IPL season, will be itching to flex his muscles against the Mumbai Indians and entertain the home fans.

Pooran might be up against leg spinner Vignesh Puthur, who will be bowling in the middle overs and will look to get the big wicket of Pooran

Rohit Sharma vs Shardul Thakur

Rohit Sharma, who has been short of runs in the season so far, will be facing Shardul Thakur in the Lucknow vs Mumbai game. Thakur, who is among the leading wicket-takers of the season so far, has the habit of taking wickets at crucial moments.

Suryakumar Yadav vs Prince Yadav

Prince Yadav, who has grabbed eyeballs with his skillful fast bowling, will face the challenge of bowling to Suryakumar Yadav, who is known for unsettling the length of the bowlers through his scoop shots on both sides of the wicket.

Yadav might target Surya with a short ball and make him hit toward the longer part of the ground, which can lead to him getting caught near the boundary
