The IPL's most successful-ever franchise will go up against one of the league's new boys for a chance to add their name to the winners' list in 2023.

Lucknow Super Giants, in their second season as a franchise, host Mumbai Indians at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in the Eliminator match of the IPL playoffs, as the race for this year's title heats up.

LSG qualified for the playoffs in third place, on the back of three straight wins, but they will likely still be the underdogs against an MI side who have bounced back in 2023 to come within three more wins of a record-extending sixth crown.

That is the case even though LSG hold a 3-0 winning record versus MI in IPL matches.

MI squeezed into the playoffs in fourth place, courtesy of Royal Challengers Bangalore's defeat against Gujarat Titans on the final day of the regular season, but now they will fancy their chances of going all the way.

Here's all the details on how to watch the action.
