MI vs LSG Match Preview:

5-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians are still looking for their first win this season, and have lost 5 matches on the trot. With a batting lineup full of firepower, all the batters have to fire to get Mumbai their first win. Tim David, who was bought for 8.25 crores by MI, is still benched and the dynamic trio of SKY, Tilak Varma and Dewal Brevis needs to fire along with Ishan Kishan and captain Rohit Sharma. 

MI bowling has fallen short of attack and has mainly been the cause of the team's consecutive defeats this season. Riley Meredith may make his way to playing XI in place of Unadkat. Bumrah, Thampi & Mills will be the strike bowlers, while Murugan Ashwin has to perform more effectively to create pressure on the opposition. 

Lucknow Super Giants had a top-order collapse courtesy of Rajasthan's Trent Boult in their last match. However, with KL Rahul & Quinton de Kock at the top, in form Deepak Hooda & Ayush Badoni in the middle, and Pandya, Stoinis and Holder to finish innings, and the addition of Marcus Stonis has further strengthened the squad. The new franchise would look to win this match and enter the top 2 on the points table. 

Avesh Khan & Ravi Bishnoi lead the bowling attack for LSG, while Holder has also taken wickets in the middle overs. K Gowtham has also impressed in the 2 matches he has played while Dushmantha Chameera and Krunal Pandya can also provide wickets at crucial points.
