IPL 2024 MI vs LSG: Probable Best Players
The best batter of the match (Predicted):
The 2024 T20 World Cup is less than a month away and Team India is going to play just one warm-up match against Bangladesh ahead of this year’s mega event so, Mumbai’s game against the Lucknow SuperGiants will be one of the final full-fledged games which Rohit will get to play. The Indian skipper has been going through a poor run of form in the last five games and Rohit will likely go all guns blazing against the Lucknow-based franchise to get back to his destructive best before the 2024 T20 World Cup.
Best bowler of the match (Predicted):
Jasprit Bumrah is having a really good time with the ball in the current edition of the Indian Premier League having picked up 20 wickets in 13 games and his economy rate of 6.48 has proven to be a massive plus point when you consider the number of times the 200 runs mark has been breached in IPL 2024. With the kind of form the MI speedster is in, we anticipate that he will be the best bowler in the upcoming MI vs LSG match. The 30-year-old will be looking to add some more scalps to his wicket tally in Mumbai’s final IPL 2024 match and head to the 2024 T20 World Cup in a highly confident mode.
