Lucknow Super Giants will host Mumbai Indians in a crucial game in Lucknow. This is a must-win game for both teams. MI need wins in both their remaining games to reach the playoffs. If they lose one match, their chances of reaching the playoffs will take a massive dip due to a clustered points table as many teams can match MI on points and then the run rate will decide which team goes through. Since MI does not have a great run rate, they can be in trouble.
Meanwhile, LSG also need a win in their remaining two games. They have 13 points and wins in their remaining matches will confirm a playoff spot. However, if they lose, it will become very difficult for them.
Lucknow has been one of the toughest wickets to bat due to its slow nature and lack of bounce. A score of around 130 can be very competitive.
It will be a hot evening in Lucknow with the temperature rising to the high 30s. There can be a bit of dew as well which will make life tough for the team bowling second.

Given the conditions, both teams might play extra spinners. LSG already have three so they should stick to the same combination MI can drop Chris Jordan and bring in Hrithik Shokeen. Tilak Varma might have to wait as the likes of Vishnu Vinod and Nehal Wadhera have done well.
The Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants have played twice in IPL, with Rohit Sharma-led side ending up on the losing side on both occasions.

Suryakumar Yadav has peaked at the right time. Yadav has scored three fifties and a century in his last few outings. With nearly 500 runs so far, Yadav will be key for MI.
If Ishan Kishan can survive the powerplay, he can be a challenge for LSG who have two leg spinners, Amit Mishra and Ravi Bishnoi in the team. Krunal Pandya will also bowl into him which will be easy for him to play.
Piyush Chawla has been brilliant for Mumbai, making up for the loss of Jasprit Bumrah's experience. Chalwa has taken 19 wickets in 12 matches and are MI's leading wicket-taker.
Krunal Pandya is a valuable cricketer one can back. He is batting up the order so there is every chance of him scoring runs. He is also bowling his four overs, which will be crucial on Lucknow wicket so he is a very good fantasy pick.
Nicholas Pooran has played some remarkable innings for LSG. He scored 44 off just 13 balls in the last game against LSG to take the team to a brilliant win.
