Lucknow Super Giants will be locking horns against Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2023 eliminator that will be taking place in Chennai on Sunday. Just ahead of the exhilarating encounter, former South Africa legend AB De Villiers predicted the winner as he said, Mumbai Indians have a slight advantage over LSG.
“THE ELIMINATOR!!! LSG vs MI. Who will play GT in Qualifier 2? I feel MI have a slight advantage considering form and big match players who've been here before. The secret at the Chepauk and what so many teams get wrong?? Every single run counts, no matter how good or bad you start. It's the small things and not the big 6's that win you games there. Buckle up, it's gonna be a goodie! Whoever wins will take confidence to Ahmedabad against a GT team who might be feeling a touch low after yesterday's loss,” he tweeted.
LSG secured their spot in playoffs after a close win over Kolkata Knight Riders while Mumbai Indians outplayed Sunrisers Hyderabad to seal a spot in the playoffs. Despite having a rough start to their IPL 2023 campaign, Mumbai Indians bounced back and made a terrific comeback by winning back-to-back games.
Lucknow Super Giants on the other side, looked weak since regular skipper KL Rahul was ruled out from the IPL 2023. But then, newly made skipper Krunal Pandya has done the right job by rightfully exploiting his resources. They have a deep batting line-up as Nicholas Pooran has played a lot of crucial knocks for them, coming down the order.
The IPL 2023 clash between Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians will be taking place on May 24, Wednesday at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The match will begin at 7:30 PM IST and fans can watch it live on Star Sports Network in India. They can also live stream the nail-biting thriller on Jio Cinema app and website in India.
