MI vs LSG Live: Here’s what Will Jacks said at the toss

“We found the right way to play our cricket, we were searching for it in the first few games. We had a settled eleven which has obviously helped in the last 4-5 games, and we found the rhythm. We were losing the powerplay on both sides of the ball early on and we found a way to plan well and get through that and then in the middle overs as well, we are really strong. Every time you play, it’s a big occasion and you have to keep progressing and make improvements in your game. You want to do really well,” said Will Jacks.

MI vs LSG Live: Pitch report

“Pitch is in the center, 63 meter boundary either side and 73 meters down the ground. Historically in day games, there have been four wins batting first and four wins chasing. There’s a magnificent covering of grass. Underneath the covering, though, it’s actually quite dry. And that bristle that just comes up might mean that it holds up to start with. Trying to keep moisture in this wicket has got to be a huge challenge for the groundstaff. As the game goes on, the ball might slow up ever so slightly. If I was winning the toss, I’d probably chase. I know it’s a big, big call in this heat. But you just don’t know how slow later on this wicket might be. If anything, might even get better later on,” reckon Ian Bishop and Eoin Morgan. 

MI vs LSG Live: MI back on track

Mumbai Indians are peaking just at the right time and are firing on all cylinders. The form of mainstays such as Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Trent Boult and even Hardik Pandya would pose a lot of threat to MI’s opponents going forward. Rohit Sharma banished an ordinary run of scores with two explosive half-centuries against Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad, finding some consistency with the bat with a slight tweak in his all-out-attack approach.
