As the tournament nears its conclusion, both teams find themselves in unfamiliar territory, unable to secure a spot in the coveted play-offs. However, this does not diminish the intensity or the allure of this encounter. The Mumbai Indians, with their rich legacy and unwavering spirit, will undoubtedly aim to end the season on a high note, while the Lucknow Super Giants will be determined to redeem themselves and finish with a flourish.
MI vs LSG Match Preview
The Mumbai Indians have had a forgettable season, managing only eight points from 13 games, and could potentially finish at the bottom of the table. The Lucknow Super Giants, despite having a chance to reach 14 points, are realistically out of the playoff race due to a poor net run rate.
This match promises to be an exciting encounter, with the first ball scheduled to be bowled at 7:30 IST local time on May 17th.
The Mumbai Indians may be out of the playoff race, but they’ll undoubtedly want to end their campaign on a high note. Their recent victory over the formidable Sunrisers Hyderabad showcased their potential, and with a star-studded lineup, they have the firepower to defeat any opposition.
Their approach in recent games has been to field Nuwan Thushara for the fielding innings, while the experienced Rohit Sharma participates only in the batting innings. This strategy is likely to continue in this match, as the team aims to field their strongest possible XI.
Despite their disappointing run, with only two wins in their last eight games, the Mumbai Indians boast a talented squad capable of causing an upset.
For the Mumbai Indians, Tilak Varma has been the standout performer, being the only player to score over 400 runs in the IPL 2024 edition. The left-hander is expected to lead their run-scoring charts against the Super Giants. Jasprit Bumrah, the premier right-arm pacer, has been in fine wicket-taking form and is a strong contender for Mumbai’s top wicket-taker in this game.
The Lucknow Super Giants entered the tournament with high hopes, but their recent form has been dismal. In a last-ditch effort to keep their playoff hopes alive, they made a couple of changes for their previous game against the Delhi Capitals, but the result didn’t go their way.
With their chances of progression now extremely slim, further changes to the playing XI are expected. Ayush Badoni could drop out of the side for the fielding innings, with Mohsin Khan likely to be included in the XI.
The Super Giants have lost their last three fixtures and four out of their last five games across the tournament, a concerning run that has dented their confidence.
For the Lucknow Super Giants, Nicholas Pooran has been a consistent run-scorer, averaging over 60 in the ongoing IPL. The West Indian left-hander is a safe bet to be their highest run-scorer. Naveen-ul-Haq, the Afghan pace bowler, is the Super Giants’ leading wicket-taker in IPL 2024 and is tipped to be their top wicket-taker in this fixture.
MI vs LSG Head To Head Records
The Lucknow Super Giants have dominated the head-to-head contests against the Mumbai Indians, winning four out of five matches since their first encounter in April 2022. In the earlier meeting this season, the Super Giants secured a four-wicket victory over the Mumbai Indians.

Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report
The Wankhede Stadium has traditionally been a batting paradise, but recent matches have seen a more balanced contest between bat and ball. With 31 wickets falling in the last two IPL matches at this venue, both pacers and spinners have found success, making for an enthralling spectacle.
While the early overs may favor the batters, with the harder ball flying off the bat, the increased humidity as the game progresses is likely to bring the bowlers into play. Expect swing and seam movement to keep the batters on their toes throughout the contest.
The weather forecast for Friday evening in Mumbai promises warm temperatures in the low thirties, with increasing cloud cover as the match progresses. This could potentially aid the bowlers, adding an extra layer of intrigue to an already mouth-watering clash.
