MI vs LSG: Team Preview for Match 45

 

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)

 

LSG were completely outplayed by DC in their last game, losing by eight wickets. Rishabh Pant batting way down the order surprised quite a few. Now, LSG will need something big from Nicholas Pooran and the top order if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive.

 

Key Players of LSG: Shardul Thakur, Nicholas Pooran

 

Mumbai Indians (MI)

MI have bounced back strong after a shaky start, winning four games on the trot. Suryakumar Yadav has been solid all season, but it’s Rohit Sharma’s return to form that’s made the real difference in the last two matches, smashing back-to-back fifties.

 

With the ball, Trent Boult will be crucial once again as Jasprit Bumrah is still searching for his best rhythm.
