For Lucknow Super Giants to remain in the race to qualify for the playoffs of the IPL 2024, they have no other choice than to defeat Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on May 17. The KL Rahul-led side started the season well but as time passed, they failed to keep up with the momentum and in the last couple of matches, things slightly went out of hand.

Currently, they have 12 points from 13 matches, and they need a massive victory to turn things around. LSG are far behind in the NRR race as well, which only complicates the situation.
