New Delhi. Even though not a single player from Lucknow Supergiants was selected in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup, it did not affect their performance in IPL 2024. Lucknow Super Giants gave a strong performance on Tuesday and defeated Mumbai Indians by 6 wickets. Mumbai Indians team was under pressure from the beginning in this match. It had lost 4 wickets for just 27 runs and could not recover from this pressure till the end of the match. With this, Mumbai Indians have equaled the record of Royal Challengers Bangalore for losing the most matches in IPL 2024.

With this victory, the team of Lucknow Supergiants (LSG) has completely changed the equation of IPL Playoff (IPL 2024 Playoff Scenario).

Rohit Sharma was out after scoring 4 runs, Tilak Verma 7 and Suryakumar Yadav after scoring 10 runs.

Tim David-Vadhera gave a respectable score
Mumbai Indians completed their 50 runs in the 10th over. At that time it seemed difficult for Mumbai to even reach 100 runs. But Nehal Wadhera (46 runs, 41 balls) and Tim David (35 runs, 18 balls) batted fast in the last overs and took their team to 144 runs for 7 wickets. Earlier, Ishan Kishan scored 32 runs on 36 balls. Mohsin took two wickets from Lucknow. Marcus Stoinis, Naveen Ul Haq, Mayank Yadav and Ravi Bishnoi got one wicket each.

Opener Arshin could not open account
Lucknow Supergiants, who came to chase the target, got a big shock in the beginning, when their young opener Arshin Kulkarni was out without opening the account. But after this Mumbai Indians had to wait a long time for the second wicket. Captain KL Rahul (28) and Marcus Stoinis (62) together took Lucknow to 59 runs. On this score, KL Rahul was caught by Hardik Pandya at the hands of Nabi.

Result came in the last over
After the dismissal of KL Rahul, Marcus Stoinis and Deepak Hooda (18) took their team to the score of 99. After Deepak was out on this score, Niksal Puran came to the crease. He ensured the victory of Lucknow Supergiants by making small partnerships with Stoinis, Aston Turner (5) and Ayush Badoni (6) in the last overs. The only saving grace for Mumbai Indians in this match was that their captain Hardik Pandya bowled well and took 2 wickets. Hardik bowling a complete spell of 4 overs is good news for the Indian team.
