Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will clash against Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 63rd Indian Premier League 2023 (IPL) match at Lucknow's Ekana Cricket Stadium on Tuesday, May 16. Both LSG and MI are strong contenders to secure playoff qualification this season with just eight group-stage matches, including this one, to go. LSG are placed in the fourth position with 13 points from 12 games after recording a seven-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last match.
On the other hand, Rohit Sharma-led MI beat table-toppers Gujarat Titans by 27 runs to climb to the third position in the points table. A win will boost five-time champions to the second position with 16 points with a game in hand. But they face a strong challenge at Lucknow's turning surface at Ekana Cricket Stadium. In their last four games, Mumbai recorded four 200-plus totals at Wankhede's flat surface and will find it difficult to adapt to Lucknow's slow surface, with the latter being the slowest ground in terms of run rate this season.
