Lucknow Super Giants will square off against Mumbai Indians in the 48th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2024 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow on Tuesday. LSG is in fifth place in the points table with five wins in nine games whereas MI is tottering at the second-last place with only three wins in nine games.
It will be pivotal for both these teams to bring their A-game to the table at this crucial junction of the tournament. MI is in desperate need of a win and the Hardik Pandya-led team will need to turn the tables.
Meanwhile, barring Krunal Pandya, LSG’s bowlers were expensive against Rajasthan Royals as all of them conceded their runs at more than 10.
