Mumbai Indians  vs   Lucknow Super Giants

Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bat. And like the previous matches, Rohit Sharma failed in today's match as well. He returned to the dressing room after collecting only 11 runs from 10 balls. At the end of 4 overs, Mumbai Indians collected 34 runs with the loss of 1 wicket.
Rohit Sharma is not in good form in this year's IPL. So I did not expect much from him in today's match. However, if Ishan Kishan and Cameroon green duo cannot play well today, then the team will not be able to give a big target. Mumbai's bowling line-up is not very experienced. Giving a target of less than 200 will make it very difficult to win.

Mumbai Indians lost the wickets of Rohit Sharma for 30 runs and Ishan Kishan for 38 runs. Cameron Green and Suryakumar Yadav then put together an excellent partnership. But Mumbai lost these two crucial wickets in the 11th over. Naveen Ul Haque performed well today. He picked up three important wickets with just 16 runs in 2 overs. After 12 overs, Mumbai managed to collect 116 runs. Tilak Verma and Tim Dawid at the crease are very good batsmen. Even if these two batsmen survive at the crease, Mumbai can easily give a target of more than 200 runs.

Looking at the current decline in wickets for Mumbai Indians, I don't think it will be possible to get 200 runs today. Because the team has been under wicket pressure since the beginning and even if it collects around a century, if Green stays on the field, there is definitely a chance for Mumbai Indians to win. But Lucknow Super Gaments bowling line and batting line is quite strong. Because of which today's game will be very tight as everyone will try to survive for the next match. If they lose today, this team will have no chance so of course the best performance between the two teams will have a chance.

Despite the loss of two early wickets, Mumbai seems to be cruising towards a 200 plus total. It is going to be tough for the Lucknow Super Giants. The pitch at MA Chidambaram Stadium is slower when compared to those in other venues and anything above 180 can be a winning total. Mumbai lost both the openers (Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma) early, and now Cameron Green and Suryakumar Yadav are at the crease. Fortunately for Mumbai, they have a lot of depth in batting. Tilak Varma is supposed to come at no.5, and Tim David will be batting at no.6.

Deshpande, Theekshana and Matheesha might be inexperienced in comparison to Gujrat's attack but all of them bowled nicely throughout the tournament. Deshpande in particular is quite expensive but at the same time, he's also taking a load of wickets.

So far Saha scored almost 300 runs this season and 3rd highest for Gujrat so i think he did justice to his selection.

I can agree that Matheesha Pathirana had been exceptional in this season for the Chennai Super Kings. And maybe we can say that Maheesh Theekshana did a decent job. But Tushar Deshpande? This guy has an economy rate of 9.61, despite bowling most of his overs in the initial powerplay. He has picked up a good number of wickets, but most of these wickets have been those of tailenders. Compared to Deshpande, Matheesha Pathirana has an economy rate of 7.72 (and this is despite bowling almost all of his overs at the depth). Maheesh Theekshana and Ravindra Jadeja also have economy rate of less than 8.

Deshpande is the highest wicket taker for Chennai (21), you don't top the bowling roaster of any team just by taking out tailenders.

---------------
So far Mumbai vs LSG faceoff record is 0-3, similar to CSK vs Gujrat but last night CSK won. Let's see if Mumbai does the same, although they lost both the openers.

Mumbai Indians won the toss and elected to bat first against LSG. Mumbai Indians managed to score five runs in the last over of the game so far. Since Mumbai Indians' bowling line-up is a bit weak, Rohit Sharma should have taken the fielding decision first as they have good quality batsmen in the team, so playing with a run target would have been more successful. And one more thing should have been thought as Krunal Pandya has captained only few matches this season so it would have been difficult for him to captain well in the second innings and his decision could have gone wrong I think Rohit Sharma should have used this opportunity.

Not sure if overconfident was the main reason as no one takes CSK that lightly. It was just a complete batting failure at a crucial time.

We all know Gujrat is a batting powerhouse and balanced team so call it an off day with the bat and it came against the Champion team.

It was surprising to see the top ranking team imploding against a sub-standard bowling attack being led by inexperienced youngsters such as Pathirana, Deshpande and Deepak Chahar. And I don't understand the point in sustaining with the 38-year old Wriddhiman Saha. He has scored a grand total of 26 runs in his last 4 innings. Ideally they should replace him with Srikar Bharat. And in case they can find another overseas slot, then Matthew Wade is going to be an excellent option. Bharat didn't got a single match in this season of the IPL so far.

Mumbai Indians vs LSG In the last match, Mumbai Indians came very close to losing to LSG. In other words, only 11 runs were needed in the last over to win where Tim David and Cameron Green were on the wicket but these two experienced batsmen failed to score 11 runs in the last over despite being on the wicket. 

Today's match is a do or die match for both teams. if today's match is won, there will be a chance to go to the final and if today's match is lost, then the dream of the final of this IPL season will be over, so both teams must make a specific plan before entering the field and then enter the field.
I will favor Mumbai Indians in today's match.

One of the concerns for Mumbai would be that their batsmen have frequently failed on slower surfaces such as the one at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk. Suryakumar Yadav has scored tons of runs when the matches are hosted at the Wankhede stadium, but in other venues he has a very poor record. And the less talked about their bowling that better. Jofra Archer and Jasprit Bumrah are out injured. Their replacements (Chris Jordan and Arjun Tendulkar) have leaked plenty of runs so far in this season. 
At the beginning of the season, Mumbai Indians wanted to form the best fast bowling line-up with Jofra Archer and Jasprit Bumrah, but Jofra Archer came to the IPL hiding his injury which forced him to stay out of the field for the entire season due to injury. And Jasprit Bumrah replacement can never be Arjun Tendulkar because Jasprit Bumrah is a bowler of the same caliber as Arjun Tendulkar. But we have to accept that Mumbai Indians have fielded the best batting lineup.

In the last match we saw Kamrul Green score a century. If Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan can make a good run in the opening pair in this important match then it will be much easier for the rest of the batsmen to bat later.

LSG is a strong team but the Captain is brand new. The other problem is that they are struggling with the opening pair. They do have good batting depth but in some matches they have shown poor batting. As I said earlier it is very hard to predict a match. No one expected GT batting to be so bad yesterday. The same can happen with MI today. Still the odds are low because they have comeback and won matches which none of us might have expected that they will win.

LSG is a very strong team. They have performed well this season. Even in the last three matches they managed to continue the winning streak. On the other hand, Mumbai's performance is a bit erratic but this team is very strong. In the last match against Hyderabad, Mumbai won by 8 wickets after batting at a target of 201 runs. Mumbai's batting line-up is very strong even if Rohit Sharma is not in form. If Mumbai bowlers are able to perform well in today's match then Mumbai will win. I guess the Mumbai Indians team will play against Gujarat. But today's match will be very competitive.

Compared to LSG, Mumbai's batsmen are more experienced and in better form. And this is why I consider the Mumbai team as my favorite. However, there is no experienced bowler in the Mumbai squad. And this season Mumbai team has lost several matches due to bad bowling. That's why LSG's batting is a bit weak, but they are likely to perform well today. The Gujarat team is in very good form but they lost badly against Chennai. Every team in the knockout round is strong enough. This is why it is very difficult to make predictions about knockout round matches. It is not possible to say with certainty which team will win.

Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians, Eliminator match will be held at ma chidambaram stadium Chennai. The team that can win this match will go to the final match and they will play the final match against CSK. Mumbai Indians are the most likely to win today's match they can win the match. Today's match will see enough fight between both the very strong LSG and MI teams. And today's match will be confirmed only in the final. The betting rate of today's match is Lucknow Super Giants ×2.20 and Mumbai Indians ×1.67 so Mumbai Indians have more chance to win today's match.

No, the team that wins today goes on to play with the loser of yesterday's match. In this case, the winner will have to play with GT on the 26th of this month. CSK is the only team that has secured its berth in the final. In total three teams LSG, MI & GT are still trying to secure their position in the finals. MI has started this season badly due to the poor form of their star batters. At the moment except for Rohit Sharma, every other batter is back in form. As usual a T20 match is hard to predict the same applies for this match too.

CSK has performed reliably in this match so far. They would certainly like to close this match out with a comfortable win from now on. The target was not very big. The problem is GT has not been able to keep wickets in hand. They have lost wickets at regular intervals. And to be honest they technically only have one wicket left.
Gujarat hasn't lost the match for continuously losing their wickets only. The top-order batsman played slowly, their strike rate wasn't enough to chase the target. Rashid Khan and Vijay Shankar (impact player) were the last hope for GT, but there was no hope for GT when their partnership was broken. Gujarat Titans had started this IPL season by winning against CSK, then they played like a king in the group stage matches. But they couldn't confirm the entry for the final yet by losing the first playoff against CSK.
There is no doubt target was chase able but sadly GT batsmen were overconfident, and they lost wickets regularly which hurt them for achieving this at the end they lost this match by 15 runs Just Shubman Gill have better performance but here we must appreciate CSK bowling as well because they never allow GT batsmen to play freely or hit aggressively which also creates pressure on them Jadeja and Theekshana both were on target and keep things under control.

Rashid Khan tries again but sadly not able to hit the ball around the ground as he has done previously now they need to be calm and have better strategy for the next qualifier if they want to play the final second time in a row which is still possible.
It doesn't look like the team is over confident. It was the captaincy of MSD that made CSK win the match. In yesterday's match for each ball Dhoni used to give suggestions on the bowling point. It was Jadeja who exactly bowled on the point where Dhoni indicates. After 15 overs Gujarat Titans were 102/6 and the come back came from Rashid Khan's performance. Required 38 runs from 18 balls. Pathirana bowled really well and took the wicket of Rashid Khan which is the moment CSK got its pressure down. Until then the match was in favour of Gujarat Titans. A big win for CSK, because in the four matches played between the two this is the first match won by CSK.

Pandya, Miller and Tewatia were the biggest flop yesterday. Each of them contributed a single digit to the scoreboard. 172 was not that easy under those humid condition to chase. Pandya after winning the toss got overconfident and choose to bowl first. In my opinion they should have batted first and defended the target. They still have a another chance but if MI win today then I won't be surprised if GT loses the match against them.
