IPL 2024: Failure of Rohit, Surya was the big turning point of LSG vs MI match, Mumbai’s top order was shattered in the powerplay itself.
Lucknow has won against Mumbai by 4 wickets. Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians (Image Credit- Twitter The 48th match of the ongoing IPL 2024 between Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians (LSG vs MI) was played between the two teams today on 30 April. In this match played at Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, Lucknow defeated Mumbai by 4 wickets. This is Lucknow’s sixth overall win in the ongoing IPL season. With this victory, they have reached third place in the points table with 12 points. On the other hand, Lucknow won the match in the last over, but if Mumbai had managed to keep the total score of 160 runs in front of LSG to win, then perhaps they could have faced trouble. However, the turning point of this match was the poor batting of Mumbai Indians in the powerplay, after losing the toss and batting first. The team’s top order batting fell apart in the powerplay itself. By 5.2 overs, the team’s openers Rohit Sharma (4), Suryakumar Yadav (10), Tilak Verma (7) and Hardik Pandya had returned to the pavilion without scoring any runs. None of the top 5 batsmen in Mumbai’s batting order could play a big innings. In the end, on the basis of Nehal Wadhera’s 46 runs and Tim David’s 35* runs scored in 18 balls, Mumbai was successful in setting a target of 145 runs for victory in front of Lucknow. Mumbai Indians almost out of the race for IPL 2024 playoffs In the match, Lucknow achieved the target of 145 runs given by Mumbai by losing 6 wickets in 19.2 overs. For Lucknow, KL Rahul played a brilliant inning of 28 runs and Marcus Stoinis played a brilliant inning of 62 runs. Also, after the defeat in this match, five-time champion Mumbai Indians is almost out of the race for the playoffs of IPL 2024. This is the team’s 7th defeat in the tournament. Mumbai is currently at 9th position in the points table with 6 points.
IPL 2024: The decision to bat after winning the toss became a big turning point of the KKR vs DC match, Delhi’s top order was shattered in the powerplay itself.
Kolkata has won an easy victory over Delhi by 7 wickets. Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings (Image Credit- Twitter The 47th match of IPL 2024 was played today on 29 April between Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals (KKR vs DC). KKR secured a comfortable 7-wicket win against Delhi on their home ground at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. DC lost against KKR due to bad decision On the other hand, after this victory, KKR has reached second position in the points table of IPL 2024. Also, Rishabh Pant’s decision to bat first at the time of toss on this spin-friendly pitch proved to be a big turning point of the match. Delhi was playing a match at Eden Gardens for the first time this season, and Punjab had earlier chased 261 runs at the ground. Keeping this in mind, Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant could have decided to bowl after winning the toss, but he did not do so. He decided to bat first on the new wicket, which had been the key to victory for his team in the last two matches. But in this match, this decision of Pant and Capitals management proved to be a miserable failure. Delhi Capitals, who won the toss and batted first, could score only 153 runs at the loss of 9 wickets in 20 overs against the excellent bowling of KKR. So the team had lost the wickets of three of its top order batsmen in the powerplay itself. By the fourth over, Prithvi Shaw (13), Jack Fraser McGurk (12) and Shay Hope (6) were out and returned to the pavilion. So after the early fall of wickets, Pant, who had set his sights on the crease after scoring 27 runs, also showed some haste in batting. Pant was out on the first ball of the 11th over while trying to play a big shot to Varun Chakraborty. At this time Delhi’s score was 93 runs. If Pant and Akshar Patel (15) had taken their slow partnership forward at this time, perhaps the result of the match could have been different. But due to their bad decisions and poor batting, today Delhi had to face defeat by 7 wickets against KKR. KKR easily achieved the target of 154 runs given by Delhi by losing 3 wickets in 16.3 overs. So this is Delhi’s sixth defeat in 11 matches. Delhi currently remains at sixth position in the points table with 10 points.
