IPL 2022: Match 26, MI vs LSG Match Prediction – Who will win today’s IPL match between MI and LSG?

Mumbai Indians will take on the Lucknow Super Giants in their next encounter in Match 26 of IPL 2022 at the Brabourne stadium. The Rohit Sharma-led side is yet to register a victory in this IPL, facing five consecutive losses, and they have a lot to work on ahead of the upcoming fixtures. Two run-out dismissals proved to be very costly in their previous game and they might be tempted to go in with Fabien Allen as the all-rounder in place of Tymal Mills.

On the other hand, the Lucknow Super Giants have played really well so far, winning three of their five games and are currently at the fifth position in the points table. The KL Rahul-led side lost their previous game against the Rajasthan Royals in a close encounter and Marcus Stoinis batting at number eight seemed to have cost them the game. They have a quality squad and are likely to go in with the same playing XI.

Pitch Report

The last two games at the Brabourne Stadium have clearly shown that it is a belter of a pitch to bat on and any score could be chased on if wickets are kept in hand. With an afternoon game in place, there is no dew factor as well and it will be an equal contest between both bat and ball. The captain that wins the toss is likely to stick with the trend of bowling first which hasn’t failed often in this edition.

Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter of the Match: Ishan Kishan

Ishan Kishan had a terrific start to the IPL 2022 campaign, scoring two half-centuries in the first two games, but since then he has gone into a shell with three consecutive failures. The most expensive player of the IPL 2022 auction, hasn’t stuck to his natural game of going after the bowling which has worked out really well for him in the past. The left-hander needs to up his game if Mumbai have to do a dramatic comeback this year.

Probable best bowler of the Match: Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah has been bowling some outstanding deliveries, and his delivery to get rid of Liam Livingstone was a peach as well. The right-arm pacer has been hitting the tough lengths for the batters. However, with the lack of options for Rohit, Bumrah has not been given the new ball as well. He picked up 1 for 28 in the previous game and will be looking to add more to his tally in the upcoming fixture.
