LSG vs MI Match Prediction: Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians will play the Eliminator of IPL 2023 at MA Chidambaram, Chennai, on May 24, 2023.
Lucknow Super Giants had a very close last match against Kolkata Knight Riders, but in the end, they were able to win the match by 1 run. Rinku Singh once again almost gave the Kolkata Knight’s an impossible win against the Lucknow side, but Yash Thakur was able to save 19 runs in the last over.
Nicholas Pooran once again played an amazing inning of 58 runs in 30 balls, giving an edge to the Lucknow Super Giants. Ravi Bishnoi bowled a superb spell in which he took 2 crucial wickets of Andre Russell and Nitish Rana.
Lucknow Super Giants had a rollercoaster ride in the IPL league stages, but in the end, they were able to qualify for the playoffs in their last match. They won 8 matches and lost 5, but they also had a lucky match against the Chennai Super Kings in which the match got abandoned due to heavy rain after Lucknow Super Giants were in a very bad position.
Mumbai Indians are the team who somehow qualify for the playoffs no matter how bad they start the season, and luck also with them after being qualified for the playoffs because Royal Challengers Bangalore were not able to beat Gujarat Titans in their last match. However, they won their last match against the Sunrisers Hyderabad after they chased down 200 runs for the 4th time in the season.
Cameron Green‘s century and Rohit Sharma’s classy half-century led the Mumbai Indians to win the match in the 18th over, which shows how much they dominated with the bat. Still, they need to sort out their bowling unit because not in a single match the bowling department did quite well. It was all because of the Batting unit they were able to qualify for the playoffs.
The next match is against Lucknow Super Giants, who had a great record against them and never lost to Mumbai Indians, which can be a psychological disadvantage for the Mumbai Indians. Akash Madhwal is doing good for the Mumbai Indians, and in 6 matches, he picked up 8 wickets; however, the 8 wickets come in just two matches when he took 4-4 wickets in 2 matches.
In the post-match interview, Rohit Sharma said that they let a few matches slip through their hands, and it is not the right way to play the match because they are the 5 times champions.
We didn’t start well and then won three on the trot. The crucial moments in the game that we lost – there were a lot of moments like that. The game against Punjab here where we needed around 34 runs off 18 balls, we could have probably played well. And the last game against LSG, we had the game in our hands after the first half of the innings. We can’t look too much into that. Sometimes it just doesn’t come along.
Rohit Sharma said after the match

LSG vs MI: Head-to-Head Records
Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians played 3 matches against each other, and surprisingly Lucknow team won all three matches in IPL, but in their next match of IPL 2023, the Lucknow team will have to play at their best because it is an eliminator match. The match will be played at Chennai pitch, which might be on the slower side, which can give the Lucknow team an advantage because their home ground pitch is slow, and they are used to playing under that condition.
LSG vs MI: Pitch Report of MA Chidambaram Stadium (Chepuak Stadium)
Table of IPL 2021 and 2023 Stats at MA Chidambaram Stadium (Chepuak Stadium):
| Matches Played | 12 |
| Batting first won | 4 |
| Batting Second won | 7 |
| Super Over Match | 1 |
| Average first innings score | 153 runs |
| Pace bowlers took | 71 wickets |
| Spin bowlers Took | 54 Wickets |
The last on this pitch was between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans qualifiers 1st, in which the pitch was neutral, and there was no dew came in the second innings. In the 2nd innings, Spinners found more grip from the surface as it got more drier, but still, the pitch was not that bad to bat on.
There was not much swing seen in the whole match, and this can be the same for the next match, which is between Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians. Pace bowlers who vary their speed and use slower bowlers are more successful than bowlers who use pace delivery more.
Lucknow Super Giants will be the happier team going to the pitch, which stays slow in both innings because their home condition is the same, but Mumbai Indians might find it hard to deal with spinners because the Mumbai pitch is favorable to batters.
The pitch of MA Chidambaram Stadium ( Chepauk Stadium) is suitable for spin bowlers and has always helped spinners in the past, but recently, the pitch has shown a neutral nature for bowlers and batsmen. It is amazing to see how Cheapuk Ground gave more runs this year than last season.
Team Preview of Lucknow Super Giants
Lucknow Super Giants are in the playoffs for 2nd time in a row in their two seasons, which is amazing because even some teams like Punjab Kings only reached the playoffs 2 times after playing the 16 seasons of IPL.
Lucknow Super Giants is one of the teams who do not depend on 2-3 players, and in every match, someone step-ups and plays an outstanding inning for them, which is why they won many close encounters as a team.
Three players of the Lucknow team had 300+ runs, and 3 bowlers had 10+ wickets which clearly shows how good they are as a team, but bowling is a major concern for the Lucknow side. There are also some injured players in the dugout, which makes the Lucknow side use so many bowling options in matches.
Star Players who can be a game changer in a match against Mumbai Indians
1-Ravi Bishnoi can be the tricky spinner to face on the Cheapuak pitch because it might help the spinners to get some turn as the pitch gets slower. Till now, Bishnoi has taken 16 wickets in 14 matches, and it will be crucial against the Mumbai Indains because most of the Mumbai Batters are right-handers.
2- Krunal Pandya can be the key performer for the Lucknow side because he will get assistance from the pitch, and the way he bats is suited on the slow surface, as Chennai has. He did perform quite decently in this season with bat and ball. He scored 180 runs and took 9 wickets in the 14 matches he played in the IPL season 2023. He needs to set up for the occasion, and in the last match against the Mumbai side, he scored 49 runs.
3- Marcus Stoinis had a great outing in the last match against the Mumbai Indians, in which he scored 209 runs in 10 innings and got out in 7 of them. The last innings of 89 runs off 47 balls came in the last match against the Mumbai Indians, which was a player of the match performance and match-winning knock by him.
Team Preview of Mumbai Indians
Mumbai Indians will look first to win the toss and decide to bowl first because they are not confident in their bowling as it has been their weaker side in the whole season of the IPL, but now they wanna go with their strength.
Mumbai Indians got lucky with the playoffs entry because Gujarat Titans defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore to give Mumbai a chance to play the eliminator against the Lucknow Super Giants.
Rohit Sharma is back in some form after scoring a quick-fire fifty in the last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. It was a classy inning by the team batting unit, who made 200 targets easy to chase and showed their strength in chasing the big total.
The bowling unit needs to improve itself because the performance in the whole season of IPL 2023 was awful. They were given 200+ runs 5 times in the league stage, which clearly shows how expensive they have been with the economy rate.
Star Players who can be a game changer in a match against Lucknow Super Giants
1-Cameron Green should be given a chance at the 1st down once again because he performed quite well in the 1st down, and the last match was one of the best innings after scoring a century in just 47 balls. He can bowl some slower ones on the Chennai pitch because it is hard to hit the ball out of the ground when batters play on a slow surface. He also praised Rohit Sharma in his post-match interview.
It was a great partnership with Rohit. He’s so experienced in IPL. Having his leadership at the other end really helped. The whole MI set-up has been awesome, getting really well looked after. The intent at the top, it helps when you have guys like Ishan and Rohit in front of you and SKY after you. We’ve got Polly (Pollard) as well to help me. That’s a pretty good set-up. When we had about 20 to get, I said SKY to finish it. Then we had a couple of runs left, we just trickled over the line.
Cameron Green said after receiving the player of the match
2- Suryakumar Yadav has been outstanding in his last 8 matches after having trouble starting the season, but once he gets himself in the rhythm, he now feels like he is unstoppable. He is the highest run-scoring in the league stage matches and till now scored 511 runs in just 14 matches. Amit Mishra can be the player against whom Suryakumar needs to settle down. Other than that, the LSG bowlers are not in great form.
3- Ishan Kishan has been one of the consistent performers for the Mumbai Indians side; however, he was not able to convert his 30s and 40s into a big score but has all the potential to be the best in the world and against the Lucknow Super Gianrs. He scored 59 runs in the last match played against the Lucknow Super Giants and can score big in his next match.
