The MI vs LSG is the reverse fixture between the two teas to be played in Mumbai on Friday, May 17. This is the final league game for both teams. LSG must-win this match to stay alive in the race to the playoffs. They lost their previous game against DC and are on a three-match losing streak at this crucial phase of the season.
MI vs LSG Team Analysis
Mumbai Indians
MI are already eliminated from the tournament this year. It has been a forgetful campaign so far for them where nothing has worked for the side in terms of strategies.
Hardik Pandya had a very bad campaign in his first year as captain with MI which should be a lesson for their owners who named him as the captain for the season. They will be looking to play for pride and play spoilsport in LSG's campaign.
Lucknow Super Giants
The team had a huge setback after their loss to SRH from which they are yet to recover. A loss to DC added to that misery on Wednesday. They will end up with 14 points if they win against MI and need other results to go in their favor to make it to the playoffs.
KKR with 19 points have secured a top-two finish for themselves. It will be interesting to see whether KL Rahul leads and plays in the final league game. The loss to DC have almost eliminated them from the tournament.
MI vs LSG Key Factors
Pitch Conditions
The Wankhede pitch is renowned for being a batting-friendly wicket. MI chased down 173 against SRH in the last game. However, they failed to chase 170 against KKR in the previous game. There has been a fair bit of turn for the spinners in the last two games with the pitch getting a bit slow to bat as well. It will be interesting to see what kind of wicket is laid out.
Form and Fitness
Form is a question for both teams and there are no injury concerns from the two camps as of now. KL Rahul has two IPL centuries against Mumbai Indians and it will be interesting to see whether he is included in the XI after his fallout with team owner Sanjeev Goenka.
Tactical Acumen
KL Rahul was shell-shocked with the way the SRH batters chased down the target in Lucknow. He admitted that he never saw the batting of such pedigree previously in his career. Hardik Pandya as MI skipper also had not had a great season and thus his captaincy has been questionable as well.
