The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will face off against the Mumbai Indians (MI) on April 30th at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
LSG currently holds the fifth position on the points table with five wins out of nine matches. They have emerged victorious in two of their last five matches.
On the other hand, Mumbai Indians have won three out of their nine matches and are positioned at number nine on the points table. MI has also won two out of their last five matches. Interestingly, April 30th marks the birthday of former MI skipper Rohit Sharma.
Jasprit Bumrah is set to bowl the final over for the LSG batters, who appear to be taking their time. They have only managed to score one run in the first three balls, indicating their strategy to patiently face Bumrah's deliveries.
There was a strong appeal for leg before wicket. The ball swings and smacks him on the pads as he takes a bad shot. According to the review, the ball struck the middle stump. Arshin Kulkarni, a debutant, has gone for a golden duck.
Bishnoi continues his impressive bowling display, skillfully alternating between attacking the pads and delivering his signature googlies. Stumping appeal for Ishan Kishan, but upon review, it is clear that the ball passed close to the bat without making contact. With Ishan's foot safely behind the line, he survives the close call.
Naveen ul Haq with his second over. The duo takes turns in striking, with Naveen strategically using his slower balls to provoke a mistake from the MI pair. Wadhera manages to hit the ball through midwicket, allowing them to swiftly score a couple of runs.
Naveen Ul Haq completes the PowerPlay by taking a wicket on the very first ball. A direct hit at the keeper's end results in Tilak being comfortably short of his crease. Hardik Pandya is dismissed for a golden duck. The pacer pitched the ball up, prompting Hardik Pandya to drive with a straight bat face, only to edge it to Rahul.
Surya appeared to have nicked the ball to the keeper. The umpire initially called it a wide, but KL Rahul immediately challenged the decision. Upon review, it was confirmed that the ball had indeed brushed Surya's gloves before being caught cleanly by KL.
Mohsin Khan comes in and Rohit Sharma deftly scooped the ball over the keeper's head for a boundary. However, the birthday boy's innings was short-lived as Khan dismissed the Indian captain. Sharma attempted a drive but was caught brilliantly by Stoinis at short extra cover.
Marcus Stoinis will be leading the bowling attack for LSG. After starting with a dot ball, Stoinis unfortunately sends a wide down the leg side with his second delivery. Only two runs were scored off the over, providing a solid start for the home team.

KL Rahul: We will bowl first. Wicket looks good, want to put their batters under pressure and look to chase it. We'll try to stay as balanced as possible. Need to come out and put up show. We have had a few good victories. Few changes, Quinton misses out. Kulkarni is in the team. Mayank is back as well. He has bowled really well, he has a huge impact. I have been pushing the physios and medical team. Mayank is eager to go. Important that he gets it out of his head that he had an injury.
Hardik Pandya: Looks alright. Looks like a slower surface, let's see how it plays. We know that all games are do or die. Need to focus on one game at a time. I think everytime we have backed our playing XI. The injuries have cost us. Crucial players are all secured. It's a long tournament, we have believed in all our players everytime we have played.
