Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians, 63rd Match, IPL 2023: Head-to-Head and Key Stats for the Game
Lucknow Super Giants will take on Mumbai Indians in the 63rd match of the ongoing Indian Premier League on the 16th of May, 2023. LSG started the season off brilliantly but lost their way in the middle phase of the tournament. Unfortunately, their skipper KL Rahul has been injured and will miss the remainder of the season. Krunal Pandya will lead the team in Rahul’s absence. Ravi Bishnoi has been in great form and the rest of the bowlers have also chipped in. Avesh Khan has done well for LSG in patches, Marcus Stoinis and Nicolas Pooran have been at their destructive best so far this season and are the main reason behind the team’s success. Together these two have taken LSG to a few unlikely victories.
On the other hand, Mumbai Indians started off slowly but bounced back well winning seven and losing five matches. A win in this encounter against the LSG will almost seal the deal for Mumbai Indians for the playoffs. Players like Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Nehal Wadhera, Piyush Chawla and Akash Madhwal are clicking at the right time. Cameron Green, Kumar Kartikeya and Tim David have also done well in patches. Chris Jordan, the replacement for Jofra Archer, hasn’t been settled in and has gone for runs. Tilak Varma will be available for selection in this encounter. Mumbai Indians will come out all guns blazing with two crucial points up for grabs.
