Mumbai face a must-win clash against Lucknow in match 26 of the Indian T20 League 2022 season. Punjab held their nerve to hand Mahela Jayawardene's men a fifth straight defeat on Wednesday. With Chennai winning against Bangalore, Mumbai remain the only side yet to win a match in the 15th edition.
A narrow defeat at the hands of Rajasthan saw Lucknow's three-game winning run coming to an end. The newly-formed franchise have picked up six points from five games, and a win will help them climb to playoff places.
We look at a few Rummy Bo fantasy cricket Match-Ups from the Mumbai-Lucknow match.
Surya K Yadav vs K L Rahul
Two India teammates lock horns in this Match-Up. Suryakumar Yadav has scored a hat-trick of half-centuries, while K L Rahul scored a fifty but registered two first-ball ducks so far. Suryakumar has the upper hand, but the Lucknow skipper is likely to win this Match-Up.
Did You Know? K L Rahul has hit one century and five fifties in 14 innings against Mumbai
R Sharma vs Q de Kock
In-form Quinton de Kock will be keen to make an impression against his former employers. He will be up against R Sharma, who has managed just 108 runs in five innings. The left-handed batter holds the advantage against the Mumbai skipper in this Match-Up.
T Varma vs D Brevis
Tilak Varma would have been the overwhelming favorite in the Match-Up against Dewald Brevis had both squared off last week. However, Brevis' brilliant 25-ball 49 against Punjab has helped him earn plenty of respect. Tilak, who has scored 157 runs so far, will be keen to continue his free-flowing style. He is likely to win the duel against the 'Baby AB'.
J Bumrah vs J Holder
With five wickets in three games, Jason Holder has lived up to the expectations of fantasy cricket players this season. Meanwhile, Jasprit Bumrah, apart from a 3/17 against Rajasthan, has struggled to pick up wickets. The West Indian could finish above Bumrah in the fantasy points chart on Saturday.

Avesh K vs M Stoinis
Avesh Khan has led Lucknow's bowling unit from the front, picking up eight wickets in five matches. Avesh's opponent Marcus Stoinis almost took his side over the line against Rajasthan with a quickfire 38*. Two players are likely to pick up plenty of points, and Avesh might grab this Match-Up from the Aussie all-rounder.
