The 63rd game of the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season will be played on Tuesday, May 16, at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow between the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Mumbai Indians (MI). The match is significant for both teams since they are both fighting for a playoff spot, as well as for a few other contenders.
If we talk about the points table, Super Giants are currently at the fourth position in the IPL 2023 points table with 13 points from 12 matches, and the five-time champions are third spot with 14 points from 12 matches. Regarding their head-to-head records, the two franchises have faced off against one another twice, with LSG coming out on top in both games. Both sides will want to get results in their favor and seal up a playoff position with just a few games left in the group stage.
In the poster shown by the Television Broadcasters, it appears that the Mumbai side is placed first while LSG retained its position at number four. But if MI went on to win tonight’s game, they will come up to second place and not first as shown by the broadcasters.
Pitch Report:
The last complete game played at the location was two weeks ago. Even if the temperature has significantly increased since then, the situation for the batters is not expected to improve. While concerns about the pitch’s condition persist, clubs would aim to bat first. Although spinners have received a lot of attention, pacers have been just as productive, scooping up wickets more frequently than spinners and striking almost as frequently at almost the same average. The pacers give up one run per over more on average.
LSG vs MI Probable Playing XIs
