Top Fantasy Picks Dream11 Prediction

Lucknow Super Giants Key Players

Quinton de Kock many pundits were surprised by the South African's lack of playing time in the 2023 IPL. However, he will be aggressive from the first ball he is faced with in this game.

Marcus Stoinis the Aussie all-rounder has been a major contributor for the Lucknow Super Giants this season, hitting 40 runs on just 25 balls in the last game.

Krunal Pandya the left-armed all-rounder has taken over as captain in place of KL Rahul, sacking Aiden Markram and Glenn Phillips in Saturday's game.

Ravi Bishnoi has picked 12 wickets in 12 games so far. We can expect another wicket performance from him at this bowling friendly course.

Mumbai Indians Key Players

Suryakumar Yadav as one of only two Mumbai Indians players to have 250+ runs this season, the right-hander brings some form to this game.

Jason Behrendorff With Jofra Archer back in England and Jasprit Bumrah absent from the entire tournament, the tall Aussie has taken over the ball and caused problems for many batsmen.

Piyush Chawla The veteran spinner is having his best IPL season ever, taking key wickets from Viijay Shankar and Rahul Tewatia in the final game.

Nehal Wadhera The 22-year-old hitter is the discovery of the season for the MI team. He's had some confident slap shots this season and we can expect another performance of this kind from him. He hit 198 runs in 7 innings with a 33.00 average.
