MI Vs LSG IPL 2024: Key Batters Who Could Dominate Match 67

Mumbai Indians (MI) are set to face Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Match 67 of the IPL 2024. The match will take place at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on May 17, Friday at 7:30 PM (IST).

The five-time IPL champions, MI, were the first team to be eliminated from the playoffs race this season. Under Hardik Pandya's leadership, MI did not meet expectations and currently sit at the bottom of the points table with 8 points from 4 wins.

Conversely, LSG are seventh in the league stage points table with 12 points and are also on the brink of elimination from the playoffs. LSG have a favourable head-to-head record against MI, winning four games and losing just once.

In their previous encounter this season, LSG emerged victorious by 4 wickets. Here are four batters who could potentially score the most runs in Match 67.

Former MI captain Rohit Sharma has had a challenging season. Although he started well in his first five games, he struggled in subsequent matches. As MI play their last game of this season, Sharma will aim to deliver a strong performance to boost his confidence ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024.

LSG captain KL Rahul has consistently troubled Mumbai Indians in past encounters. He has amassed 895 runs in 17 innings against MI, including 5 fifties and 3 hundreds with an average of 81.36. At Wankhede Stadium, Rahul has scored 579 runs in 11 innings, featuring two hundreds and four fifties.

Suryakumar Yadav

MI will look to Suryakumar Yadav for a standout performance in the upcoming match. Yadav has been in excellent form at Wankhede since IPL 2023, scoring 577 runs in 12 games at an average of 64.11, including two hundreds and five fifties.

Marcus Stoinis

Marcus Stoinis will aim to replicate his previous success against MI. The Australian was named Man of the Match for his match-winning knock against MI in Lucknow earlier this season. He scored 62 off 45 balls with a strike rate of 137.78, including seven fours and two sixes.
