IPL 2024: Mumbai's 'Indians' and Lucknow's 'Super Giants' would like to bid farewell with victory.

New Delhi. Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants, who are out of the IPL playoff race, will try to end the tournament with a win in their last match at the Wankhede Stadium on Friday. Mumbai Indians have been out of the playoff race for a long time, while Lucknow Super Giants, even if they win the last match by a big margin, have little chance of reaching the last four. Due to consecutive defeats in three matches, Lucknow had to lose points and the run rate also deteriorated.

After losing to KKR by 98 runs, it lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad by ten wickets and Delhi Capitals by 19 runs. The net run rate of seventh-ranked Lucknow is minus 0.787, while the run rate of sixth-ranked team Royal Challengers Bangalore is 0.387. Five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians (MI vs LSG) were the first team to be eliminated from the playoff race. The team's performance this season under new captain Hardik Pandya was disappointing. If Mumbai Indians, who have won only four in 13 matches so far, win on Friday, they will get ten points and can avoid being in the last position.

There was a lot of anger among Mumbai fans after Pandya was handed over the captaincy.
Before the season, there was a lot of anger among the Mumbai fans due to Pandya being given the captaincy in place of Rohit Sharma, which also affected the team's performance. The batsmen completely disappointed, while in bowling, Jasprit Bumrah (20 wickets in 13 matches) could not inspire other bowlers to perform well. In this match, the focus will be on Pandya, Rohit, Bumrah and Suryakumar Yadav included in the World Cup team. Rohit has been unsuccessful in the last six innings and his highest score has been 19 runs. At the same time, Pandya also could not play the role of all-rounder well. Suryakumar Yadav has gained confidence by scoring three half-centuries and one century.

KL Rahul has scored 3 half-centuries
Lucknow captain KL Rahul scored 136 runs including three half-centuries. Scored 465 runs at a strike rate of 36. However, his strike rate remained a topic of discussion. Nicholas Pooran (424 runs at a strike rate of 168.92) performed well but the team failed as a unit.
