Hello and welcome to Sportstar's live coverage of the IPL 2022 match between Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants.
Krunal to wrap it up. Pollard on strike. OUT! Pollard departs. Unadkat is the new man in. He is run out off the third ball. Sams holes out next ball! Krunal has his third. Krunal ends with 4-0-19-3. Mumbai lose 8 on the trot! LSG win by 36 runs. Eight losses in eight games never a good feeling. Lucknow win at Wankhede for the first time as things keep unravelling for Rohit Sharma and his men. They won the toss, decided to bowl and ran into KL Rahul, who struck his second 100 vs MI this season. Thereon, MI was left playing catch-up. That would be all from our side. Thanks.

PREVIEW
After a dramatic Friday night of swirling emotions in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2022) when technology should have been utilised to declare an obvious no-ball - the television umpire needs to be empowered - Sunday’s fixture between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Mumbai Indians (MI) promises to be a calmer affair.
LSG has eight points from seven matches while a struggling Mumbai Indians is now the maiden IPL side to lose its first seven matches.
Wankhede Stadium’s friendly surface and the short boundaries promise a run feast. The dew isn’t expected to be a major factor in this night game.
LSG depends on skipper K.L. Rahul - he has 265 runs in seven innings at SR 141.71 - for runs and inspiration.

The left-handed Quinton de Kock (215 runs at SR 134.37) has been among runs. Marcus Stoinis is always dangerous, so is Deepak Hooda.
Lively seamer Avesh Khan, the consistent Jason Holder and versatile leg-spinner, Ravi Bishnoi, have enhanced LSG's attack.
MI has been hurt by Rohit Sharma’s poor form. And the highly priced Ishan Kishan and Kieron Pollard have largely misfired.
Suryakumar Yadav has pulled his weight, the exciting Dewald Brevis has been a revelation and Tilak Verma holds promise but MI has been short of runs.
The influential Jasprit Bumrah has lacked a consistent pace partner with incision for pressure to be applied from both ends. Daniel Sams has shown the spark though.
MI seeks redemption while LSG will be gunning for points this Sunday.
