The Mumbai Indians are in a must-win position to keep their playoff chances alive. It will be one more vital outing for the Mumbai Indians, led by Hardik Pandya, when they fight against the Lucknow Super Giants in the 48th match of the IPL on Tuesday at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow.
With three victories from nine games, the Mumbai Indians are currently in the bottom half of the points table. They must win every game from this point forward to ensure their playoff chances. MI will go into this game on the heels of two losses on the trot in their last two games.
LSG, meanwhile, are in the fifth spot in the points table and would expect to lift themselves from the mid-table problem. This season, the campaigns of LSG and MI differ greatly. With five victories from nine games, LSG has had a smooth start to the season. They will get into this game on the heels of a loss in their last experience. In any case, emphatically, they have been supported by the accessibility of youthful pacer Mayank Yadav. LSG would aim for a victory over MI, which was struggling, in spite of the home advantage.
