An uninterrupted game beckons fans when the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) square off against the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Eliminator of IPL 2023 at the Chepauk on Wednesday, May 24.
LSG had to wait for their final league game to confirm a playoff berth. They defeated the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Eden Gardens to seal a third-place finish.
Lucknow were in a similar position last year as well, but lost to the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) to knock out of the competition. However, they would definitely want to progress further in this year's IPL.
MI, on the other hand, had to wait for the final league game that saw the Gujarat Titans (GT) beat the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) to confirm a top-four finish.
Having won three of their last four games, Mumbai have peaked at the right time and will look to continue their winning run. A loss here will end their campaign in IPL 2023.
