Mumbai Indians vs Lucknow Super Giants Prediction & Betting Tips -
by Devesh Jaganath in Indian Premier League Predictions
Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants will meet in match 67 of the Indian Premier League on Friday afternoon. The hosts are currently in ninth place in the league standings, while the visitors are seventh. The Mumbai Indians have endured a torrid time in this year’s IPL and will be making their final appearance in the competition in this match. They have only managed four wins in their 13 games, which leaves them on eight points, six below the playoff places. Mumbai conceded a fifth loss in their last six last weekend when they were beaten by the league-leading Kolkata Knight Riders by 18 runs. KKR posted a total of 157, but MI was only able to make 139/8 in the match, which was reduced to 16 overs due to rain. Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma scored 40 and 32, while Piyush Chawla and Jasprit Bumrah took two wickets each. Notably, barring Tim David, all of Mumbai’s international stars have returned to their respective nations to prepare for the upcoming T20 World Cup next month. Despite this, the bookies make the hosts the favourites in this one.
Meanwhile, Lucknow Super Giants have been struggling in their recent matches, and their defeat against Delhi Capitals has severely diminished their chances of qualifying for the next round. Even if they manage to score 200 runs and secure a victory by 100 runs in this match, it would only provide them with a minimal chance of qualification. Despite the mathematical possibility, in practical terms, their chances are almost negligible. Should Chennai Super Kings emerge victorious against Royal Challengers Bangalore in their final game, LSG would require Sunrisers Hyderabad to suffer substantial defeats in both of their remaining matches to have any hope of progressing. Against Delhi, Nicholas Pooran and Arshad Khan both notched up half-centuries, but it was not enough to chase down the 208/4 target. LSG’s playoff qualification hopes are out of their hands - all they can do now is try to win this match and hope for the best. They have, though, beaten this opponent in four of their last five meetings, including a four-wicket victory at the end of last month.

Our Mumbai Indians vs Lucknow Super Giants Prediction
Mumbai will not be a part of the IPL playoffs this season but will be hoping to give their home fans something to cheer before bowing out of the competition. With their foreign players out of the squad, KL Rahul will need to step up to lead the top order, and we feel he will get over the achievable 28.5-run mark. Our Mumbai Indians vs Lucknow Super Giants prediction: KL Rahul over 28.5 Runs.
