Two stalwarts of Indian cricket -- Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant -- will be hoping to overcome their lean patch when Mumbai Indians face Lucknow Super Giants in a clash between two struggling teams in the Indian Premier League in Lucknow on Friday.
With both the teams almost identically placed with a solitary win each in three games, the contest could boil down to who exploits the conditions better on the day.
The curators haven't been providing tailor-made pitches to the home sides, so the team that gets a head-start with the bat or ball in the power play overs could call the shots.
Mumbai Indians have been struggling with Rohit Sharma's form and the absence of Jasprit Bumrah due to injury, while Lucknow Super Giants are facing bowling woes and the poor form of captain Rishabh Pant.
