LSG VS MI
The Eliminator clash in Chennai on Wednesday, May 24, brings together Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Mumbai Indians (MI) in a high-stakes encounter in the IPL 2023. The victor of this match will advance to Qualifier 2, vying for a place in the final, while the loser will be eliminated from the tournament. The IPL 2023 final is scheduled to take place in Ahmedabad on May 28.
LSG emerged victorious over KKR by the narrowest of margins, securing a one-run win in an exhilarating contest. They effectively neutralized the threat posed by Rinku Singh, thereby securing a place in the playoffs for the second consecutive season. On the other hand, MI comfortably defeated SRH by 8 wickets while chasing a daunting target of 200, wrapping up the match with 12 balls to spare. Cameron Green's impressive performance, where he scored his maiden IPL century, propelled Mumbai Indians to finish fourth on the points table.
When it comes to head-to-head encounters, LSG has had the upper hand against MI, triumphing in all three encounters. Last season, they emerged victorious in two matches, and this season they clinched a win in the sole face-off between the two teams. In their earlier encounter this season in Lucknow, LSG managed to defend a meager 11 runs in the final over against the likes of Green and Tim David, securing a five-run win.
Speaking of IPL 2023, all ten teams competed in 14 matches each during the tournament, including both home and away games. The top four teams in the points table secured qualification for the playoffs. The defending champions of IPL 2023 are the Gujarat Titans, who were also the first team to secure a playoff berth.
WHO CAN WIN TODAY'S MATCH :-
While MI holds an edge in terms of playoff experience in the IPL, LSG cannot be underestimated. With their recent triumphs, MI enters the contest with good momentum. However, the tides might turn in this clash, as LSG aims to maintain their winning streak against MI. A fascinating battle awaits, and my prediction leans towards Mumbai Indians finally breaking their losing streak against LSG and emerging victorious in this crucial encounter.
