Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians Key Players Battles Preview:
The 37th match, between the Lucknow Super Giants and the Mumbai Indians, will take place at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, and it offers to be a breathtaking encounter. Let’s dive into MI vs LSG Player Battle.
LSG is currently in the 4th spot in the league standings and will be hoping to remain upright following this encounter. They’ve experienced a couple of failures in the competition, losing two of their last 3 games. In the recent contest versus RCB, Lucknow struggled to pursue a target of 182 runs. The Mumbai Indians, on either side, are on a dismal streak, having lost their last 7 fixtures. Everything remained in MI’s favor in their last contest versus CSK until MS Dhoni, in classic form, chose to prove why he is regarded as being one of the finest finishers in short formats of the cricket. MI is nearly out of the playoff race currently, and they’ll need a magical breakthrough to get it to the next stages of the season.
We Look At Tth MI vs LSG Player Battle In This Game:
#1 Suryakumar Yadav vs Avesh Khan
Suryakumar Yadav has been a valuable asset in MI’s batting lineup and has often looked dominant. He has scored 232 runs in only five matches, with an avg of 58 and a strike rate of 153.64, featuring two half-centuries. Avesh Khan has taken the most wickets for LSG in the competition. He has thoroughly fulfilled LSG’s purchase price for him in the IPL 2022 mega auction. Avesh has 11 scalps in 7 games, with an avg of 20.09, and an economy of 8.28. This duo will be mouthwatering to watch.
#2 KL Rahul vs Daniel Sams
LSG captain KL Rahul has been in fine shape, with the bat, and also with his leadership skills. He has 265 runs in 7 outings at a strike rate of 141.71 and an avg of 44.16. In the campaign, Rahul scored a century and a half-century so far. Daniel Sams, MI’s left-arm seamer, has progressed across all 4 of his outings this campaign so far. In the previous match, he got the 4 wickets of CSK’s top 5 batsmen. This combo is a very close fight to witness.
#3 Tilak Varma vs Jason Holder
Throughout the competition, Tilak Varma is MI’s highest run-scorer. For the five-time winners, the rookie player has been the team’s best discovery. The 19 years old, has a strike rate of 140.11 and has produced 234 runs in seven games at an avg of 46.80. Jason Holder has consistently taken up wickets for LSG and has delivered several match-winning efforts. He has grabbed 8 scalps in 5 outings at an economy of 8.65.
#4 Quinton de Kock vs Jaydev Unadkat
Quinton de Kock hasn’t been in great form this season, having been dismissed for 24 and 3 runs in his past two outings. In the match, de Kock will play his former team, the Mumbai Indians, who have been bought by the Lucknow in the IPL 2022 auction for a whopping 6.75 crore. If he performs aggressive long innings, he could be a huge asset to the team. In the IPL 2022 mega auction, CSK and MI were in a bidding war for Jaydev Unadkat, however, Mumbai Indians won the bid and acquired him for INR 1.30 cr. Unadkat has been the only bowler for MI who has consistently probably taken one wicket in each outing. He has 6 wickets at an economy rate of 9.62.
