Mumbai Indians are finally looking like the five-time champs we know—four wins in a row after a shaky start. But can they keep the momentum against Lucknow Super Giants, who’ve hit a rough patch? With both teams tied on points, this Wankhede showdown is set to be a thriller. Here’s your go-to Dream11 guide for the big game.
Why This Match Matters
A few weeks back, LSG edged past MI by 12 runs in a tight contest. But since then, Mumbai’s turned things around hard—Suryakumar Yadav’s back in beast mode, Bumrah’s unplayable, and even Hardik’s finding form. On the flip side, Lucknow’s batting has looked shaky if Marsh or Pooran don’t fire. With playoffs spots up for grabs, neither team can afford a slip-up.
