Venue: Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai
Brabourne has been a high-scoring venue this season. DC putting up 215 vs KKR, Tewatia helping GT chase down 190, LSG chasing 211 and DC chasing 178. But, dew won’t impact this game since this is a day match. Fans should expect an even contest.

Marcus Stoinis made a strong start to his season, smashing 38 runs off 17 balls and almost pulled off the chase vs RR while Krishnappa Gowtham showcased his off-spin quality by picking a couple of wickets.
Lucknow are expected to play the same eleven as in their previous game.
LSG predicted XI: KL Rahul (c), Quinton de Kock (wk), Marcus Stoinis, Deepak Hooda, Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya, Jason Holder, Krishnappa Gowtham, Dushmantha Chameera, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan
MI news and predicted XI:
Mumbai Indians went in with only 6 specialist batters and 5 bowlers vs PBKS and regretted their decision. It’s been still baffling that the likes of Tim David and Fabian Allen were on the bench; one of them is likely to come in for Thampi or Unadkat. Fast bowler Riley Meredith can also make his debut for MI.
Expect changes in Rohit Sharma’s team.
MI predicted XI: Rohit Sharma (c), Ishan Kishan (wk), Dewald Brevis, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Kieron Pollard, Tim David/Fabian Allen/Sanjay Yadav, Jaydev Unadkat, Murugan Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Tymal Mills

Gowtham could be tasked to bowl to Ishan Kishan for his favourable match-up. Dushmantha Chameera has dismissed Rohit Sharma 6 times in 9 matches they have faced each other.
Based on the above fantasy cricket tips, here is the best XI for the MI-LSG match on Dream XI:
Wicket-keeper: KL Rahul (C), Quinton de Kock
Batsman: Deepak Hooda, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma
