Both teams faced each other in the 26th match of that edition on 16th April 2022 and Lucknow Super Giants emerged victorious by 18 runs while defending a target of 199 runs, thanks to the amazing centurion performance by KL Rahul.

Pre-match Analysis

Mumbai Indians will have their heads up and would like to regain their winning momentum in this match. With their star players in form and giving out valuable performances, it will be beneficial for them. On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants will be soaring with confidence and would like to continue what they are doing – winning. Their players, barring captain KL Rahul are in amazing form.   

Probable Best Batter of the Match

Mumbai Indians Captain Rohit Sharma is back in the form he is known to be in. The Hitman is finally in the zone to help the Mumbai Indians get the two valuable points and the Lucknow Super Giants’ bowling attack, coupled with the batting-friendly pitch, will only help Rohit Sharma to be the best batter of the match between Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants. 

Probable Best Bowler of the Match

Ravi Bishnoi has been a stand-out bowler for Lucknow Super Giants for two seasons now and he has also been in good form in this edition as well. He would look to continue the same and ensure that he turns out to be the best bowler of the match between Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians. 

Match Details

Lucknow Super Giants will be up against the Mumbai Indians in the 63rd Match of TATA Indian Premier League 2023 from the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow on 16th May 2023. For the viewers, the match will be telecast live at 7:30 pm on Star Sports network on television and Jio Cinema on your mobile handset. 

Pitch Report

Black soil surfaces, which aid pacers more and are hence considered pace-friendly, are used at Ekana Cricket Stadium. Spinners are also anticipated to contribute in the middle overs. In this place, dew will be an issue in night matches. As bowlers struggle to hold the ball, the second inning’s bowling will be particularly difficult. In this Ekana Cricket Stadium, it is safe to predict that the side that wins the toss will choose to chase.

Today’s match prediction: Final Thoughts

While one team would try to gain some momentum back, and the other one to continue, it will be interesting to see how things pan out. Both the teams look strong and that is why it seems that we are in for a treat. The home advantage might play for the Lucknow Super Giants and that is why they will start as the favourites of this match.
