Lucknow Super Giants will square off against the Mumbai Indians in the 63rd match of the 2023 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow will host this exciting clash on Tuesday (May 16).

In their last outing, the skipper Krunal Pandya led the bowling unit and picked up two crucial wickets as they restricted the Sunrisers to 182/6 in 20 overs. In reply, Prerak Mankad (64 off 45) hit a brilliant fifty followed by quick-fire cameos from Nicholas Pooran (44 off 13 balls) and Marcus Stoinis (40 off 25) ensured a seven-wicket victory for the team in the last over.

After a poor start to the tournament, the Mumbai Indians turned things around in the second half as they have lost just once in their previous five games. They are currently placed third in the points table with 14 points, having won seven of their 12 games so far.

After being asked to bat, Mumbai Indians posted a mammoth total of 218/5 in 20 overs, courtesy of Suryakumar Yadav’s brilliant knock of 103 runs just 49 deliveries at a blistering strike rate of 210.2. In response, the heroic knock of Rashid Khan (79 off 32 balls) went into vain as the five-time champions secured a 27-run win. Akash Madhwal picked up three wickets for Mumbai.
