THE LOWDOWN

LUCKNOW SUPER GIANTS

  • Having lost by 18 runs against RCB, Lucknow Super Giants see themselves sat in fourth-place with two other franchises having also accrued the eight points which they have obtained so far, so it’s vital they can bounce back immediately.
  • KL Rahul will be looking to show the sort of form which has seen him hit 133 runs across his last two innings, with 103 of those coming against Mumbai Indians in the reverse fixture between the two sides.

MUMBAI INDIANS

  • Before this year, no IPL franchise had ever lost their opening seven games on the bounce, but that all changed this past Thursday as MS Dhoni’s heroics for Chennai Super Kings consigned Mumbai Indians seventh consecutive defeat, leaving them firmly planted at the bottom of the table.
  • Star signing Tim David remains out of favour following his performances for Mumbai when selected, however Daniel Sams came back strongly following his recall by taking 4fer against CSK, so expect him to play again here.

THE PREDICTION

You can only wonder where Mumbai Indians’ first win of the competition is going to come from and how it will occur when considering that they had the game against CSK in the palm of their hands, only to blow it in the final over with the ball, not to mention some very poor work in the field. This is a Mumbai squad who has totally underachieved, with numerous players out of form and a significant lack of firepower. Lucknow Super Giants racked up 199/4 against Mumbai Indians in the last meeting between these two franchises, ultimately emerging victorious and the same outcome in regards to the match result has to be favoured in this one.
