The 63rd match of the Indian Premier League 2023 is scheduled to play between Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians on Tuesday 16th May 2023 at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow.

Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians are currently in the top four teams and this match is going to be very important for both teams. Lucknow Super Giants had played 12 matches with six wins to their name. They had lost five matches while their one match was not decided. They are holding the fourth position on the points table. Mumbai Indians had just been outstanding in some recent matches. They had won seven out of 12 matches played. They had lost five matches and are holding the third position on the points table. Both teams have to play two more matches and have to win these matches at any cost to cement their places in the top four teams of this tournament. Lucknow Super Giants are going to face Mumbai Indians for the first time in this edition of IPL. This match will be very interesting as both teams had performed well and are in good form.

Lucknow Super Giants did not perform well in the most recent matches and lost two matches in a row against Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bangalore while their match against Chennai Super Kings was not decided. They bounced back strongly and won their most recent match against Sunrisers Hyderabad with a handsome margin of seven wickets. They lost the toss and were asked to field first. They have a strong bowling unit in their squad and also had shuffled the bowlers in previous matches. Yudhvir Singh was leading their bowling unit with Kyle Mayers, Krunal Pandya, Avesh Khan, Yash Thakur, Amit Mishra, and Ravi Bishnoi. The skipper, Krunal Pandya was the most successful and highest wicket-taker from their side with two wickets to his name in four overs against just 24 runs. Yudhvir Singh picked one wicket in three overs while he was charged for 24 runs. Amit Mishra, Yash Thakur, and Avesh Khan also performed well picking one wicket each. Amit Mishra leaked 40 runs in four overs while Avesh Khan was charged with 30 runs in just two overs.

Ravi Bishnoi and Kyle Mayers were the bowlers who failed to pick any wicket in their most recent match. We think that Lucknow Super Giants will make some changes in the bowling squad for this match as they have some good bowlers on the bench strength and surely will give a chance to new bowlers. The batting order of Lucknow Super Giants is also strong and experienced and it is the best batting performance behind their success in this tournament. Kyle Mayers and Quinton de Kock are opening the batting inning of this team and had provided a good opening start in almost each and every match of this edition of IPL. Lucknow Super Giants are also rich in the top and middle batting order. Prerak Mankad, Marcus Stoinis, and Nicholas Pooran are handling the middle batting order of this team. These all batsmen did an outstanding job and chased the target of 183 runs in 19.2 overs. Prerak Mankad was the most successful and highest run-scorer from their side with 64 runs to his name on 45 balls with the help of seven boundaries and two huge sixes. He remained not out till the chase of the target. Nicholas Pooran also had an outstanding performance and played a main role in the win of his team. He scored 44 runs on just 13 balls and smashed three boundaries and four huge sixes. He also remained not out till the chase of the target. Marcus Stoinis was the other batsman who put some runs on the board. He scored 40 runs while Quinton de Kock could manage to score just 29 runs.

Although Mumbai Indians had a slow start in the tournament, their recent performance has been exceptional. Out of five games, they have only suffered one loss, defeating Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Punjab Kings, and Rajasthan Royals. Their sole loss was against Chennai Super Kings. In their latest victory against Gujarat Titans, they won by an impressive margin of 27 runs. This high-scoring match saw them batting first after losing the toss. The team’s batting performance against Gujarat Titans was phenomenal as they amassed 218 runs in 20 overs. Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma opened the innings for Mumbai Indians; Kishan played well, but Sharma is facing difficulties with his form. Suryakumar Yadav has been in outstanding shape recently and even scored his first IPL century in the previous match. He was their top scorer with 103 runs off 49 balls, including 11 fours and six massive sixes, staying unbeaten until the end of the innings.

Nehal Wadhera, Vishnu Vinod, Tim David, and Cameron Green have effectively taken charge of the top and middle batting order for this team, delivering impressive performances throughout the tournament. In the previous match, Ishan Kishan performed admirably, scoring 31 runs off 20 balls, including four boundaries and a huge six. Vishnu Vinod also put up a commendable show with his 30 runs off 20 balls, hitting two boundaries and an equal number of massive sixes.

Although the Mumbai Indians’ bowling unit isn’t particularly strong, they have demonstrated their capabilities in several previous matches. Jason Behrendorff spearheads the team’s bowling attack alongside Akash Madhwal, Chris Jordan, Piyush Chawla, Kumar Kartikeya, and Cameron Green. While their performance wasn’t exceptional, they managed to defend a target of 219 runs and allowed only 191 runs in 20 overs. Akash Madhwal stood out as the most successful bowler with three wickets in four overs and conceding 37 runs. Piyush Chawla also contributed well with two wickets in four overs at a cost of 36 runs. Moreover, Kumar Kartikeya secured two wickets in three overs while giving away 37 runs. Jason Behrendorff put up a remarkable show by taking one wicket in four overs and conceding 37 runs.
