LSG vs MI Highlights: Mumbai Indians succumbed to their third consecutive defeat as they put on a poor batting display against the Lucknow Super Giants. KL Rahul’s decision to bowl first proved to be a masterstroke as Mohsin Khan and Stoinis dismantled MI’s top order. Wickets tumbled, and only a defiant 46 from Nehal Wadhera took MI to a weak 144. LSG’s chase was aided by Stoinis’ brutal six-hitting, securing a comfortable win with four wickets to spare. This victory cemented LSG’s place in the top half of the table, while MI’s woes continued.

Lucknow Super Giants were dealt with a severe blow as their main speedster Mayank Yadav walked off the field once again, after facing a side strain, on his comeback from the same injury. The pacer, who raked up speeds of over 155 kmph in the IPL 2024, could only bowl 3.1 overs in his spell against Mumbai Indians , claiming figures of 1/31. Against Mumbai, in his return match, it looked like that Mayank wasn’t still operating at a 100%. He managed to bowl in 140s consistently, but used a lot of slower balls, while his fastest delivery was a little over 146 kmph. Eventually, he left the field, before completing his quota of overs.

Jake Fraser-McGurk. That’s the name you have to remember. The fiery Australian opener proved to the world yet again as to why he is one of the best in the business and more so, made his case for his inclusion in Australia’s T20 World Cup squad. A South African also grabbed eyeballs with his picture-perfect finishing ability. We are talking about none other than Tristian Stubbs.
