Hardly anything has gone right for IPL’s most successful team Mumbai Indians in this edition of the cash-rich tournament. They have lost seven matches in a row and set the unwanted record of losing most matches on the trot at the start of a season – 7. The Rohit Sharma-led side will next face Lucknow Super Giants in an IPL 2022 match at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday.
LSG’s debut season in the Indian Premier League has been a decent one so far. They have won four out of seven matches so far and would be looking to achieve some consistency.
They, however, are coming off an 18-run defeat to RCB. The KL Rahul-led side had beaten MI by 18 runs in their previous encounter, which is likely to give them confidence.
Their bowling attack led by Avesh Khan and Dushmantha Chameera would want to exploit the dreadful form of the MI openers Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan.
As far as MI are concerned, they desperately need a win. Whatever mathematical chances they have of making it to play-offs, depends on whether they can beat LSG comprehensively on Monday or not.
