Lucknow Super Giants got off to a promising start, winning two of their first three matches, but have since fallen into a worrying slump. Five consecutive defeats derailed their campaign and sapped confidence at a crucial stage. Mohsin Khan’s five-wicket haul against Kolkata Knight Riders was a rare bright spot, but Rinku Singh’s late heroics sealed another loss.
Rishabh Pant’s poor form with the bat added to their woes, weakening both the leadership and the firepower. Mohammed Shami’s experience will be key on the batting friendly Wankhede pitch. Mumbai Indians are also struggling so LSG have a chance to regroup and revive their fading playoff hopes.
