IPL Today's Match: LSG vs MI Toss, Pitch Report, Head to Head stats, Playing 11 Prediction

MI's playoff hopes hanging by thread

After suffering two consecutive losses, Mumbai Indian's playoff hopes have drastically diminished. If they lose on Tuesday, they will find themselves in the same predicament as the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians will face each other at Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow at 7:30pm.

MI initially appeared to be one of the stronger teams at the start of the season, despite having a lack of depth in the spin department. However, this strength has not translated into results, largely due to the struggles of their overseas fast bowlers.

On the other hand, LSG is also coming off a loss but holds a stronger position on the points table. A win against MI could even elevate them to second place. Besides the home advantage, they will be strengthened by the return of Mayank Yadav, who has successfully completed all his fitness tests.

LSG vs MI Toss

The Ekana Stadium in Lucknow tends to favor pace bowlers over spinners, so the team that wins the toss will likely choose to bowl first to take advantage of the pitch's support for fast bowlers.

LSG vs MI Pitch

In the five games played in Lucknow, no team has scored over 200 runs. Considering LSG's stronger spin attack compared to Mumbai, it wouldn't be surprising if the pitch for Tuesday's game is slower-paced.
