Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians
The Lucknow Super Giants took on the Rajasthan Royals in their most recent match that took place in Lucknow on Saturday the 27th of April. The match begun with the Royals winning the toss and electing to field first, resulting in the Super Giants starting badly, losing 2 wickets in the first 2 overs. They then stabilised and managed to get a partnership going and, in the end, they reached a total of 196/5. Top batsman was captain KL Rahul who scored 76 off 48 deliveries.
The Super Giants then struggled with ball in hand, until they took 3 quick wickets just after the powerplay, however these were the only wickets they took, and they were not able to restrict their opponents and they lost the match by 7 wickets with 1 over remaining. Top bowler was Marcus Stoinis who took 1 wicket for 3 runs in his 1 over and the big mystery is why he was not given more overs.

Suggested Bet: Top Mumbai Indians Bowler – Mohammad Nabi at 5.20
He was amongst the wicket takers in their last match, bowling just 2 overs and although the concern is he won’t get enough overs there is no doubt the opposition will go after him and that could mean wickets.
Suggested Bet: Match 6’s – Lucknow Super Giants over 7.5 at 1.85
There last innings on this ground was strange as it contained just 2 sixes but I am betting that will change and that the boundary clearers will come to the pasrty.
