Mumbai Indians will have to avoid a sixth consecutive defeat when they take on Lucknow Super Giants at the Brabourne Stadium on Saturday. This is the second time in the history of the Indian Premier League that Mumbai Indians have lost their first five matches. In 2014 also, MI lost their first five games but managed to reach the playoffs.
The five-time champion team will expect a similar fate this time as well. Rohit Sharma & Co are leading in Saturday’s game after losing their last match to Punjab Kings. The Mayank Agarwal-led side made fun of the Mumbai bowlers as they scored 198 runs in 20 overs.
Chasing the target, Mumbai Indians looked in good shape. Devald Brevis scored 49 while Tilak Verma scored 36 runs to take the team to 116 for two in 10.5 overs. However, they fell short of just 12 runs as Odeon Smith took four wickets.
