MI, led by Hardik Pandya , and LSG, under Pant, have had inconsistent starts to the season, winning just one of their three matches. While MI’s batting struggles and Jasprit Bumrah’s absence remain concerns, LSG will look to Nicholas Pooran and Mitchell Marsh to continue their good form.
With LSG dominating their head-to-head record (5-1), MI will be eager to shift momentum when they face off on Friday.
