MI vs LSG pitch report: Lucknow Super Giants will have their final shot at playoff qualification when they take on bottom-placed Mumbai Indians in the 67th match of the IPL 2024 on Friday, May 17.
Mumbai Indians have already been knocked out of the playoff race and will target a consolation win to finish their devastating season with some smiles. Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai suffered a big loss against Kolkata Knight Riders in their last game and have won just once in their five meetings against Lucknow.
KL Rahul's Lucknow Super Giants fell 19 runs short while chasing a tough target of 209 against Delhi Capitals. Lucknow are currently placed seventh in the IPL 2024 points table and need to beat Mumbai by a huge margin and also depend on other teams' results to earn a playoff spot this season.
