→ MI might contemplate replacing Luke Wood with Kumar Kartikeya, particularly if the pitch favors slower bowling. Their Impact Player options could include Suryakumar Yadav (if bowling first) and Nuwan Thushara (if batting first).

→ Mayank’s return may necessitate Matt Henry’s exclusion from the squad. Additionally, LSG could opt for Ashton Turner in place of the out-of-form Devdutt Padikkal. Depending on their batting or bowling situation, either Ayush Badoni or Yash Thakur could be designated as the Impact Player.

LSG vs MI Counter:

Mumbai Indians’ playoff aspirations have taken a nosedive with two consecutive defeats, and another loss in their upcoming match could put them in a precarious position akin to Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

At the outset of the season, MI appeared to be one of the stronger sides despite their spin department’s thinness. However, this promise has failed to translate into performances, with a significant factor being the underperformance of their overseas fast bowlers.

Jason Behrendorff and Dilshan Madushanka were sidelined with injuries even before the tournament commenced. Their replacements, Luke Wood and Kwena Maphaka, fell short of expectations. Nuwan Thushara, in his two appearances, has leaked runs at a rate of 12 an over without any corresponding wickets. Gerald Coetzee, despite his 12 wickets in eight games, has displayed inconsistency, with an economy rate of 10.10. Consequently, Jasprit Bumrah has been burdened with an excessive workload.

On the flip side, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are positioned more favorably on the points table, despite coming off a recent defeat. A victory against MI could potentially propel them to second place. The return of Mayank Yadav, who has cleared all fitness tests, will provide LSG with a significant boost.

In the Spotlight – Quinton de Kock and Suryakumar Yadav
Quinton de Kock commenced IPL 2024 with two impressive fifties in the first three games. However, his form has waned since then, struggling for consistency and only managing to surpass 20 runs once in six innings. Given LSG’s struggles in scoring freely during the powerplay, de Kock’s return to form is imperative for them.

Suryakumar Yadav was expected to bolster MI’s fortunes upon his return from injury. While his strike rate of 171.13 and 166 runs in six innings aren’t discouraging, they fall short by about 10 compared to last season. Suryakumar has registered two half-centuries but has faltered in the remaining four innings, including two ducks. As MI battles for survival, Suryakumar’s performance will be crucial.

Stats That Matter: LSG vs MI
Amit Mishra has dismissed Rohit Sharma eight times in T20s, conceding only 87 runs in 92 balls.
Jasprit Bumrah has accounted for Marcus Stoinis four times in 44 balls, yielding just 42 runs.
Mohammad Nabi has effectively contained Nicholas Pooran, conceding 45 runs in 43 balls with one dismissal.
Ravi Bishnoi has troubled Ishan Kishan (21 runs off as many balls, three dismissals) and Tim David (17 off 23, two dismissals), but Hardik Pandya has scored 55 runs off him in 25 balls and Tilak Varma 38 off 20.
Hardik has managed only 14 runs off Krunal Pandya in 23 balls, with one dismissal.

Pitch and Conditions: LSG vs MI
In Lucknow’s five games so far, no team has breached the 200-run mark. Given LSG’s superior spin attack compared to Mumbai, it wouldn’t be surprising if the pitch for Tuesday’s match is on the slower side.
