Toss Prediction

The teams that field first have been the most successful in recent games in Chepauk and we expect both sides will choose to bat second if they win the toss.

Betting Tips

Although both teams were not very consistent in the group stage, we believe that the Mumbai Indians had a slight advantage here. They have typically had a slow start in the past and then picked up form as they reached the knockout rounds. They have a lot of experience dealing with such pressure situations and players who can take the pressure. On the other hand, the Lucknow Super Giants are likely to fail here.

Bet on the Mumbai Indians to win.

Head to Head

This will be the fourth clash between the Lucknow Super Giants and the Mumbai Indians, with the Super Giants winning the last three meetings, including five runs in the group stage this year.
