Lucknow Super Giants and Sunrisers Hyderabad are going head to head in the Match 47 of the Indian Premier League at Ekana Sports City, Lucknow, Lucknow, India on 30th April 2024. LSG looking to break into the top four. Who will win this game of cricket?

Following consecutive victories over the 2023 IPL Champions, Chennai Super Kings, Lucknow Super Giants suffered a defeat in their recent match when they failed to defend a target of 197 against Rajasthan Royals.

At the halfway mark, the majority of analysts favoured LSG with captain KL Rahul, smashing an impressive 76 runs off 48 balls, supported by Deepak Hooda's brisk 50 off 31 balls.

Nevertheless, their bowling unit must display greater penetration in the upcoming match. They have only claimed three wickets against Rajasthan Royals in the previous game. Ravi Bishnoi will be introduced into the attack earlier than in the previous game. He was given the ball in the 15th over of the match. LSG needs to make some quick and tough decisions to be ahead in the game.

Mumbai has lost three out of four games in their recent games, the latest one being from the hands of Delhi.

The 10-run loss to Delhi Capitals on Saturday marks the third defeat in their last four matches for Mumbai Indians who are sitting in the second-last spot in the IPL table.
