Mumbai Indians Playing 11 vs LSG- IPL 2024, Match 67

Mumbai Indians takes on Lucknow Super Giants in their final league game at home in Mumbai on Friday, May 17. The match will be played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. MI lost to LSG in the first game earlier this season.

Mumbai Indians lost their previous game to KKR at the Eden Gardens. In fact, this year KKR did the double over Mumbai Indians. They do not have a good record against LSG winning just one of the five games played so far.

With MI already being eliminated, this game is an ideal opportunity for the franchise to rest their senior players and test their bench strength. They can afford to rest the likes of Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Suryakumar Yadav who are part of India's T20 World Cup squad. Rohit will eventually be leading the side and Hardik will play under him in the tournament.

Nothing has worked for Hardik Pandya as the skipper of the side. His own form with the bat especially has been poor. He has managed to bowl his full quota of overs in most games but has proved to be very expensive in a few games. In this article, we will try to predict, the likely playing XI for MI against LSG.

Meanwhile, LSG's loss to DC in Delhi now almost puts them out of contention for the playoff race. They lost by 18 runs and this was their third successive defeat in three games affecting their NRR as well.

Mumbai Indians Playing 11 vs LSG- IPL 2024, Match 67

Ishan Kishan (WK)

Kishan will open the batting for MI. He scored 40 off 22 balls in a losing cause for the Mumbai Indians against LSG. He is not a part of India's T20 World Cup squad and might play the final game against LSG.

Naman Dhir

Naman Dhir played the last game and might be included in this game as well. With Rohit Sharma likely to be the impact sub, he can drop down the batting order.

Tilak Varma

The southpaw will slot in at three. He scored 32 off 17 balls in the game against KKR. He has scored over 400 runs for the season and has been MI's top run-getter this season.

Suryakymar Yadav

SKY will slot in at four. He scored just 11 against KKR. In the match against SRH before KKR, he scored an unbeaten 102. He looks to be in decent touch ahead of the T20 World Cup.

Hardik Pandya (C)

Hardik the skipper will slot in at five. This has been a disappointing season for him with bat and ball. He is under pressure to finish with a win.

Tim David

David will slot in at six. He was included in the side as a big-hitter looking as a replacement for Kieron Pollard but has not played his best for MI. He is yet to score a fifty in the IPL.

Piyush Chawla

Chawla will slot in at seven. The veteran spinner is continuing to play in the IPL. After the match against MI, he said he is looking to play the next three years. He is sitting on 191 IPL wickets.

Anshul Kamboj

The young pacer has been a good addition to the side. He has good place and he bowls a good line and length. He took 1/24 against KKR.

Akash Madhwal

The MI management should ideally rest Jasprit Bumrah and give a chance to Akash Madhwal in the next match. He has five wickets against LSG and played five games this season picking up five wickets.

Shreyas Gopal

Gopal can be a good option for MI in the bowling lineup as the second spinner. He played three games this year and picked up three wickets. He has 52 wickets in 52 games in the IPL.

Nuwan Thusara

Thusara concludes the likely XI in for Mumbai Indians for their match against LSG. He picked up 1/31 in the last match against KKR. He picked up three wickets in the previous match against KKR.

Impact Sub: Nehal Wadhera

MI can use Nehal Wadhera as the Impact Sub for this match against Mumbai Indians. Rohit Sharma is the other option but the management should think about giving him some rest before the T20 World Cup.
