In the 67th match of the IPL 2024, Mumbai Indians (MI) will be taking on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). The game is set to take place at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on the 17th of May 2024 at 7:30 PM (IST). This will be a very important match for LSG, as they have to win it at all costs by a huge margin to have any chance of qualifying for the playoffs. MI is already out of the tournament and would be hoping to end the tournament on a good note in front of the home crowd.
LSG made things difficult for themselves in the last two matches by losing against SRH and DC, respectively. In both matches, they should have claimed a win. Instead, they sustained a massive loss against SRH. The loss against DC did not help them either. The match against MI will test their intensity. LSG must win by a huge margin and hope SRH to lose both their matches by a huge margin. Hence, all the players of LSG must come out all guns blazing against the 5-time champions.

Pitch Report
The match is set to take place at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on the 17th of May 2024 at 7:30 PM (IST). The venue has either been highly supportive for the batters or very difficult for the batters. On one pitch, the Pacers have a bit of seam movement and some spin. On the other pitch, the batters have been able to enjoy smashing the bowlers for fun. Either way, bowling first would be a better choice.
Player Picks
Suryakumar Yadav MI | BAT
Suryakumar Yadav has been in a brilliant form in the last few matches. The star batter won the match for MI against SRH and did well even in losses. The unorthodox batter can come good against LSG given the familiarity in the conditions.
Jasprit Bumrah MI | BOWL
Jasprit Bumrah is one of the best bowlers in the world. He is the best bowler of the season. The right-arm pacer can swing the new ball and return to bowl at the death. He can claim wickets and control the flow of runs at the same time.
KL Rahul LSG | BAT
KL Rahul did not bat well in the last couple of games. It will be a must win game for LSG against MI. Given the context of the match and his record against MI, Rahul can be trusted to deliver the goods. He will be handy by keeping the wickets.
Tilak Varma MI | BAT
Tilak Varma has been arguably the best batter for MI in the last three seasons. He knows to bat well in good starts and anchor the innings under collapses. The Southpaw can bowl an over or two, if necessary. Even as a fielder, he is very safe.
Hardik Pandya MI | BAT
Hardik Pandya has improved as a player in the last few games. While there is still a room for excellence, the star player can contribute as an All-rounder. As a batter, he can add some runs lower down the order. As a bowler, he can claim some wickets.
Nicholas Pooran LSG | WK
Nicholas Pooran was one of the reasons for LSG to stay alive in the match against DC. The Southpaw batted aggressively and kept the run rate on check. On his day, the star batter can win the matches on his own. He is a brilliant fielder too.
Yudhvir Singh LSG | BOWL
Yudhvir Singh Charak is a very useful player. He can bowl a couple of overs in the middle and the death overs. Even with the new ball, he can be used. If required, he can come handy as a lower order batter. For his credits, Charak is handy.
Arshad Khan LSG | ALL
Arshad Khan played an unexpected blinder as a batter against DC. The youngster nearly won the match for his side when none expected him to. The Southpaw can add runs lower down the order and take wickets in the middle overs phase.
Ayush Badoni LSG | ALL
Ayush Badoni has had a mixed bag this season. When he gets going, the youngster can win matches from his blade. On other instances, he dos not look as promising. But for his budget, the emerging batter can be used in the team for small roles.
Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Tim David
MI | BAT
Tim David comes to bat lower down the order. in the last few games, he has not been at his best. The star batter can win matches for MI with his finishing. But in the game against LSG, he might not be needed given the depth of MI’s batting.
Naman Dhir
MI | BAT
Naman Dhir played the last game against KKR. The emerging batter tried his best to win the match for his side. But it was not fruitful. He can bowl an over or two and claim wickets. As he batted lower down the order in the last match, he might not get much chances.
Deepak Hooda
LSG | ALL
Deepak Hooda has been inconsistent as a batter. The right-handed batter can come good in odd games. But given the pressure on LSG to win by a huge margin, he could succumb to the situation. As there is impact rule, he might not bowl either.
