The Indian Playerzpot League 2023 brings you a nail bitting fixture between Lucknow and the Mumbai team that will be played at the Ekana Stadium. With the knockout stages looming at large, only limited spots are up for grabs, putting the teams into a frenzy. This is a huge game for both teams as they would want to ensure their qualification with their own result rather than handing over their fate into the hands of other teams.
Speaking about the table standings, Mumbai are sitting pretty on the 3rd spot with 14 points in 12 games played this season. While Lucknow are just a point below Mumbai in the 4th place with 13 points of their own. The five-time champions have found their lost mojo in the last two games which is not good news for Lucknow who are now finding it difficult to string positive performances. It will take something special from Lucknow to stop the high-flying Mumbai team in their tracks.
Players to watch out for
S. Yadav (Mumbai)
About time that the explosive middle-order batter returned back to life in the Indian Playerzpot League 2023. After what was a mediocre start to the season, S. Yadav has been back to his lethal best in the last couple of games for Mumbai. He scored 103* in the decisive game against title holders Gujarat. While he was influential in the chase against Bangalore, where he belted a good 83 runs off 35 balls. With 479 runs so far this campaign, S. Yadav will be hungry for more in the upcoming matches.
P. Chawla (Mumbai)
Having his best-ever Indian Playerzpot League season with the Mumbai side, the experienced spin bowler has picked up 19 wickets so far for the Blues. He is Mumbai’s leading wicket-taker, there have been times when he has been the source of wickets and this is not expected from Mumbai who are known to have an illustrious bowling lineup. Moreover, his role as the impact substitute has been very well used by R. Sharma and the team management. It certainly won’t be a surprise if he does land Lucknow batters in trouble.
N. Pooran (Lucknow)
Lucknow may have lost their footing in their recent run of games but the win against Hyderabad was a welcoming one in their bid for knockout stage qualification. In the absence of skipper KL Rahul there has been a struggle to find runs consistently. However, N. Pooran who started the season well once again shined with the bat in the latter stages of the run chase. With a splendid knock of 44 runs off 13 balls he was influential in what was an important win for his team. Known for his ability to strike the ball in clutch moments, Pooran is certainly among the player that Mumbai will need to watch out for.
M. Stoinis (Lucknow)
Lucknow has been blessed with good all-rounder players and M. Stoinis certainly is their prime player. Known to hit massive shots and play crucial innings. The Australian all-rounder was in his element in the chase against Hyderabad, he took the responsibility of hitting the ball and smashed 40 runs off 25 balls. With 279 runs and 5 wickets from his bowling exploits, he is a genuine contender to shift the momentum of the game.
