Get ready for fireworks! 🎆

Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians are gearing up for a battle royale today at the 48th Match of IPL 2024 season 🔥

After back-to-back losses, Mumbai Indians' chances to make the playoffs this season significantly reduced. And if they lose today at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow against the KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants, they will find themselves in the same situation as Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

Lucknow, too, head into the match on the back of a loss in their previous game, yet they are favourites to inflict damage on Mumbai for two reasons - they will be playing at home and have been boosted by the return of Mayank Yadav.

The 2 IPL teams have met each other on 4 occasions where the Lucknow Super Giants have had the upper hand, leading Mumbai Indians 3-1 in the head-to-head.

The KL-Rahul-led side is currently placed at the No.5 spot with 10 points in the bank. MI, on the other hand, are clinging on to the edge of the cliff with their fingernails in the playoffs climb at No.9 with 6 points in their hands.
