LSG vs MI Dream11 Prediction: Mumbai Indians (MI) face Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in an important Indian Premier League (IPL) clash on Tuesday evening. The match will be played at the Ekana Sport City Stadium in Lucknow and will kick off at 07:30 PM (IST). LSG and MI both are outside the top four heading into this game.
Mumbai Indians‘ season is on the fringes. They are the second-worst team in IPL 2024 and sit second from the bottom after winning just three times in nine matches. For a team of their caliber and prestige, this is the least expected of them. They should at least be in contention for the top four.
Although they still are, chances are slim unless they string together an unbeaten run until the end of the season to have a genuine chance of playing in the playoffs. But considering their patchy form, that looks highly unlikely. Then again, this is Mumbai Indians we are talking about. They have been in similar positions before, when everyone counted them out, and yet, they won titles.
For MI to do that again, it has to start with the match against LSG. And considering LSG’s recent slump, where they lost three times in five games, Mumbai have the chance to strike a hammer blow to KL Rahul’s team.
If MI win this game, they would be only two points behind Lucknow Super Giants on the table, while a win for LSG will take them into top-four. That’s how high the stakes are for both teams ahead of this game.

LSG vs MI Pitch & Weather Report
Pitch Report: Behind KL Rahul‘s 76 runs off 48 balls, LSG posted a formidable total of 196/5 in 20 overs in the last match at this venue. However, the total didn’t deter RR batters, who came out with blazing guns and won the game in 19 overs. In fact, the last four games played at this venue have been won by the teams batting 2nd. So expect the team winning the toss to put the other team to bat first in this game. Batsmen are likely to dominate the proceedings. The team batting first should cross the 180-run mark with ease.
Weather Report: The only respite here is that this game kicks off in the evening when the temperature should cool down by a few degrees. But the weather conditions will remain hot, with the maximum temperature, when the match starts, ranging between 36°C – 38°C. There’s little to no chance of rain. Humidity levels are likely to remain below 20%.

The Indian captain remains one of the most lethal batters in the world. Surely, fantasy cricket users can use Rohit either as captain or vice-captain in LSG vs DC Dream11 Today IPL Teams.
