The five-time champions Mumbai Indians will square off against Lucknow Super Giants in the 67th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2024 at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Friday. It has been a disappointing season for both of these teams and they will want to end their tournament with a win.
When these two teams met earlier in the season, LSG registered a four-wicket win with Marcus Stoinis scoring a match-winning knock of 62 runs. We take a look at the head-to-head battle, Players to watch out for, and Squads of both teams in our match preview.
Lucknow Super Giants: L L L W L
LSG has managed a solitary win in their last five matches. The KL Rahul-led team was on course to make it to the playoffs but they haven’t been able to come up with a collective show in their last three games, which has led to their downfall and they are on the brink of elimination.
Mumbai Indians: L W L L L
Mumbai Indians have not been competitive throughout the season, which has been the biggest surprise of the season. They have been a champion team over the years but they have come up with a mundane performance.

Players to watch out for: Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma, and Piyush Chawla will hold the key for MI.
Quinton de Kock, KL Rahul, Nicholas Pooran, Marcus Stoinis, Naveen-ul-Haq, Ravi Bishnoi, and Mohsin Khan will be the crucial players for LSG.
