PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Mumbai will have a cool and breezy climate in the evening and dew might settle in the late hours of the match. We expect a full match with no interruptions.

Venue Details

Wankhade has been a slightly trick surface with some assistance to the pacers and spinners. Batters need to watchful against the new swinging ball and they can take advantage once they are settled in. We expect the scores to be around 160-180 runs in this match.

Toss: To Bowl

Chasing teams have won all the 4 matches played at this venue so far and we expect both captains to field first if they win the toss.

RR vs LSG
Winning Prediction

LSG has a host of all-rounders that provide excellent depth and balance to their playing XI. Their top-5 have scored consistently with variety of options in pace and spin bowling departments. RR on the other hand have quality players in top-5 and 4 proven bowlers in their playing XI. Absence of all-rounders has been their biggest issue with lack of depth in batting and bowling departments. LSG looks a stronger team on paper with their team combination and we expect them to win this match.

Lucknow Super Giants will win the match
