Mumbai faced Lucknow Super Giants in their last game, where, batting first, Lucknow had a dream start. Half-centuries from both their openers boosted them, and even though Mumbai bowlers did a good job in the middle, they still had a target of 204 ahead of them. In the chase, Mumbai looked in contest always but somehow messed it up towards the end to lose the game by 12 runs.

Bengaluru had played against Gujarat Titans in their previous game, where, batting first, they had a shaky start. They kept losing wickets, and it required a partnership from Jitesh and Livingstone to calm the storm. They were able to put up a decent total of 169 on the board. Gujarat had a match-winning partnership for the second wicket, and Buttler’s knock of 73 meant an easy win for them by eight wickets.

Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium is known for having a batting-friendly ground, particularly for limited-overs competitions like Twenty20s. The batsmen may play their shots freely because the pitch is typically flat and has a good amount of bounce and carry.

The Wankhede Stadium's relatively smaller boundaries further benefit the batsmen. Evening games may also be affected by the dew factor, which makes it simpler for the team batting second to pursue a target. The surface has, however, occasionally provided the new ball bowlers in the powerplay with some help. 

AccuWeather predicts that Wankhede Stadium will be approximately 33°C, with a genuine feel of precisely 38°C during the day and 26°C at night. Meanwhile, the wind will blow from the northwest at a range of 11 to 15 km/h with gusts of 35 to 37 km/h. As a result, even though the weather will be perfect for an exciting evening cricket match, players will encounter hot and humid conditions at the stadium.

Even though there is just a 9% possibility of cloud cover at Wankhede Stadium in the day, AccuWeather says there is no chance of precipitation. Therefore, the fans will most likely watch an uninterrupted match between MI and LSG.
