Overview
Mumbai Indians will be facing Lucknow Super Giants in Match Number 26 of IPL at the Brabourne Stadium. Both these teams have lost their last game. Mumbai Indians are at the last position on the points table and are still looking for a win as nothing is going well for them.
The season for Lucknow Super Giants has gone really well so far. They have won three of their five matches. They are currently on the fifth position in the points table. They have a quality squad and are likely to go in with the same playing XI.
In 2014, Mumbai Indians faced 5 straight losses upfront at the start of the season and they were written off by everyone and yet they managed to qualify for the playoffs in the most dramatic fashion that one can ever see. Mumbai Indians can take a lot of inspiration from this fact as they find themselves in a similar position this season but yet another defeat here will leave them scratching with no sort of inspiration or way to look forward to for more than half the season that lies ahead of them.

A high-scoring game on cards with there being a little help on offer for the bowlers. The batters will look to attack from the start despite there being some swing for the pacers initially with both the teams likely to prefer batting second upon winning the toss.
