Mumbai Indians will face Lucknow Super Giants in match No. 48 of the IPL 2024 on Tuesday (April 30). The 10th league stage match for MI will be played at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, and the five-time former champions, who went down by 10 runs against the Delhi Capitals in the last match played in Delhi on April 27, would like to come up with a big show to keep alive their hopes of reaching the IPL 2024 playoffs. The match against LSG, whom they have only managed to defeat once on four occasions, will be a must-win for the Hardik Pandya-led side because if they lose, then their chances of reaching the playoffs will be over.

For the crucial match against LSG, MI is all set to make at least two changes to the playing XI. Nuwan Thushara and Luke Wood, who conceded 68 and 56 runs, respectively, in the last IPL match against DC, are all set to be dropped to the bench, and in their place, South African pacer Gerald Coetzee and uncapped Indian bowler Akash Madhwal will return to the playing XI.

Coetzee, who has picked up 12 wickets in eight IPL 2024 matches for MI, missed the last match against DC due to a stomach bug. Whereas Madhwal dismissed five LSG batters for five runs in 3.3 overs during the IPL 2023 eliminator match played on May 24, 2023, in Chennai. The 30-year-old cricketer from Roorkee would like to come up with a similar show once again on his return to the side.

Apart from the duo, MI could also consider including Arjun Tendulkar in the playing XI as an impact player. The 24-year-old Arjun, who is the son of legendary Sachin Tendulkar, is a left-arm pacer who can bowl with the new ball and contribute with the bat as well in the lower order. The youngster picked up three wickets in four IPL matches played so far but hasn’t had a chance to play any matches so far this year.

Mumbai Indians’ likely playing XI for the IPL 2024 match against Lucknow Super Giants: Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan (WK), Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (C), Tim David, Mohammad Nabi, Gerald Coetzee, Piyush Chawla, Jasprit Bumrah, Akash Madhwal

Impact Players: Arjun Tendulkar, Nehal Wadhera, Shreyas Iyer, Shams Mulani, Naman Dhir
