Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians - Preview, head to head, where to watch, and betting tips

04/24/2022

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Mumbai Indians (MI) will go up against each other on Sunday (April 24) in Match 37 of IPL 2022 at Wankhede Stadium. While LSG are heading to this fixture after losing to RCB by 18 runs, the MI, led by Rohit Sharma, are coming after suffering seven successive defeats.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) versus Mumbai Indians (MI), KL Rahul versus Rohit Sharma, was supposed to be an intriguing contest. But it is nowhere near that expectation after the two sides' contrasting performances in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. The LSG, under the leadership of KL Rahul, is going strong, winning four out of seven matches so far, while the MI, led by Rohit Sharma, became the first side to suffer seven consecutive defeats at the beginning of any IPL season.

Still, with both sides having genuine match-winners such as Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Jasprit Bumrah, Kieron Pollard, Marcus Stoinis, Quinton de Kock, and many more, the contest should be an interesting one for the viewers. But MI would be desperate to open the mark, and their openers Ishan and Rohit will be keen to get back to good form.

For the LSG, the IPL 2022 is going quite well as debutants. Among the bowlers, Ravi Bishnoi and Avesh Khan hold the key, while Jason Holder will lead the pace attack, probably alongside Dushmantha Chameera.
