However, their net run rate of -0.787 poses a challenge as they are currently seventh in the standings.<\/p>\n<p>To secure a playoff spot, LSG must defeat MI, and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) must beat the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Saturday. This would result in CSK, DC, RCB, and LSG all ending up on 14 points, thereby bringing the qualification scenario down to net run rate again.<\/p>\n<p>However, if LSG end up bowling first against MI, they risk being eliminated from the tournament straightaway. In case they bat first, they need to defeat MI by 310 runs and hope that RCB emerge triumphant against CSK by 18 runs as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Match Details \u2013\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"ng-scope\">\n<div id=\"comm_1715952663246\" class=\"cb-col cb-col-100 ng-scope\">\n<p class=\"cb-com-ln ng-binding ng-scope cb-col cb-col-100\" style=\"width: 615.594px;float: left;min-height: 1px;margin: 0px 0px 10px;line-height: 24px\"><b>Mumbai Indians have won the toss and have opted to field<\/b><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ng-scope\">\n<div id=\"comm_1715951743818\" class=\"cb-col cb-col-100 ng-scope\">\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"cb-col cb-col-100 cb-bg-grey cb-plgn-nws-ancr cb-nws-plgn-wrp cb-pos-rel ng-scope\">\n<div class=\"ng-scope\">\n<div id=\"comm_1715953151633\" class=\"cb-col cb-col-100 ng-scope\">\n<p><b>Teams:<\/b><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ng-scope\">\n<div id=\"comm_1715953067800\" class=\"cb-col cb-col-100 ng-scope\">\n<p><b>Mumbai Indians<\/b>\u00a0(Playing XI): Ishan Kishan(w), Naman Dhir, Suryakumar Yadav, Dewald Brevis, Hardik Pandya(c), Nehal Wadhera, Romario Shepherd, Anshul Kamboj, Piyush Chawla, Arjun Tendulkar, Nuwan Thushara<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ng-scope\">\n<div id=\"comm_1715952948426\" class=\"cb-col cb-col-100 ng-scope\">\n<p><b>Lucknow Super Giants<\/b>\u00a0(Playing XI): KL Rahul(w\/c), Devdutt Padikkal, Marcus Stoinis, Deepak Hooda, Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya, Arshad Khan, Matt Henry, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohsin Khan<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are gearing up to take on the Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Wankhede Stadium on Friday\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":42108,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[3720],"class_list":["post-21744","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ipl","tag-ipl-2024"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21744","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/250"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21744"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21744\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42108"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21744"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21744"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21744"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
