The stage is set for the Eliminator, where there's no room for error. The journey to hoist the trophy from the clash between the 3rd and 4th ranked teams requires three victories, a feat accomplished only once before in 2016 by Hyderabad. This marks the second appearance for the Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL playoffs, having participated in both seasons. Meanwhile, the Mumbai Indians are no strangers to this territory, having graced it numerous times as five-time champions.
The league stage saw these teams closely matched, separated by a mere point. In their previous encounter in IPL 2023, Lucknow emerged triumphant by a slender five-run margin. Imperfection has characterized both teams' performances so far. Stay tuned to catch all the latest updates from the Chepauk Stadium.
