IPL 2023: Mumbai Indians vs Lucknow Super Giants
Mumbai Indians (MI) are set to clash with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in what promises to be a thrilling encounter in match 67 of the IPL 2024 on Friday.
The match, scheduled to take place at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, holds significant stakes for both teams despite their contrasting positions on the points table.
MI, the defending champions and one of the most successful franchises in IPL history, have endured a dismal season this year.
With their hopes of making it to the playoffs shattered, they find themselves languishing at the bottom of the table.
Their performance has been far from convincing, with inconsistency plaguing their campaign.
On the other hand, LSG, in their debut season, have showcased commendable performances, although they too have faced their share of challenges.
Currently positioned seventh on the points table with 12 points from 13 games, LSG are still in contention for a playoff berth.
A victory against MI would boost their chances significantly as they aim to consolidate their position in the league.
The head-to-head record between the two teams heavily favors LSG, who have emerged victorious in 4 out of the 5 encounters they have had in the IPL.
MI, with just 1 win against LSG, will be eager to turn the tables and salvage some pride in what has been a forgettable season for them.
The match is scheduled to commence at 7:30 PM IST (2:00 PM GMT), with the toss slated for 7:00 PM IST (1:30 PM GMT).
