The 45th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is set to be played between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. If the current form is concerned, the home side for the day, Mumbai Indians, are on a roll, winning four games on the bounce & are in third place in the points table. While their opponents, the Lucknow Super Giants, lost their latest home fixture against Delhi Capitals. Lucknow are currently at the 6th spot with 5 wins in 9 games, similar to Mumbai Indians, but the Hardik Pandya-led MI has a better NRR than LSG; hence, they're better placed at the points table.

The pitch at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is a batting paradise, with plenty of runs expected. However, this fixture being an afternoon one, there could be some spin on offer, so we can see a balanced game between bat and ball. Since there will be no dew, this could make captains think otherwise and could convince them to bat first on this pitch after winning the toss.
The weather in Mumbai is expected to be hot. Since this will be a day game, it'll be even tougher for the players, especially the overseas players, to cope with the dry Mumbai heat. The temperatures will hover around 32°C. There is no chance of rainfall in this match.
The Mumbai Indians are in good form, with four wins on the bounce, while their opponents, the Lucknow Super Giants, have been largely inconsistent and don't look convincing enough to beat the Mumbai Indians. Hence, MI has a better chance of winning this match.
