Match number 48 of the 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) saw Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) welcome an underperforming Mumbai Indians (MI) side at the EKANA Cricket Stadium on Tuesday, April 30. The hosts beat the visitors to add two points to their tally, inching closer to the playoffs.
Both teams have been on a contrasting run of form lately. LSG are now back onto winning ways, after seven-wicket defeat against table-toppers Rajasthan Royals (RR).
With 12 points from ten games, LSG have climbed to third spot, after being fifth before the game against MI. A three-horse race between Lucknow, Chennai, and Hyderabad could spice up the business end of the season.
