Head to head record
Talking about the Lucknow Super Giants in IPA and the head to head records of Mumbai Indians, both teams have been face to face 6 times so far. In 5 of these matches, LSG has won, while Mumbai Indians have won only one in the account. In this way, in the figures, the pan of Lucknow is still looking too heavy.
Pitch report
At the same time, the pitch of Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow remains on red soil. Which is known for speed and bounce. However, the pitch here has a similar layer of grass. There are high scoring matches here but the boundary here is quite long. This provides relief to the bowlers. Fast bowlers do not get help on this pitch but spinners prove to be effective here.
Possible playing XI of both teams
Lucknow Super Giants-Michelle Marsh, Eden Markram, Nicholas Puran, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper/captain), Ayush Badoni, David Miller, Abdul Samad, Digvesh Singh Rathi, Shardul Thakur, Avesh Khan, Ravi Bishnoi.
Mumbai Indians- Ryan Recelton (wicketkeeper), Will Jax, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Verma, Hardik Pandya (Captain), Naman Dhir, Michel Santner, Deepak Chahar, Trent Bolt, Ashwini Kumar, Vignesh Puthur.
