Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will meet five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Eliminator at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai on Wednesday.
With both teams having won eight out of their 14 league-stage matches to book a place in the playoffs, there is little to chose between them.
LSG got off to a decent start in the tournament — and then finished strongly with three straight wins — while Mumbai failed to find their top form in the early stage of the competition before coming on strong.
Rohit Sharma's side made a resounding comeback to sneak into the top four, but both teams will have to be at their absolute best in this all-important fixture to make their way into the second Qualifier, where they will face Gujarat Titans for a spot in the final.
Here, we look at the current form, head-to-head, and players to look out for in this match.
