Fantasy Cricket Tips
There are two great contests lined up for Sunday, April 27 in the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) have been in great form and are coming off four consecutive wins.
They will host Rishabh Pant-led Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the afternoon game of Sunday at the Wankhede Stadium. MI are peaking at the right time and certainly made a stunning comeback to the playoffs race.
LSG, on the other hand, had a good start, but some recent results have gone against them. They are searching for the momentum ahead of the playoffs. The team that wins here will reach 12 points.
Match: Mumbai Indians (MI) vs Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Match 45, IPL 2025
Match Date: April 27, 2024 (Sunday)
Time: 3:30 P.M. IST (Local Time)
Venue: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai
LSG have a superb record against MI in the IPL. These two have played seven games, and LSG are leading by 6-1.
The forecast for Sunday afternoon in Mumbai suggests clear weather. The temperature is likely to reach a maximum of 32° C with average humidity of 65 percent.
The surface at the Wankhede Stadium has played well for bowlers this season. The new ball is likely to move early on, and spinners can extract grip from the surface. This is an afternoon game, and batting first is recommended. However, the boundaries are not big enough, which will make it even for the batters.
