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.
