Mumbai Indians (MI) will play their last game of IPL 2024 at the Wankhede Stadium tonight. It is a dead rubber for MI, who have been eliminated from the tournament. They will play for pride in front of their home fans.
Meanwhile, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will aim to complete a double over MI, having defeated them once in Lucknow this season already. The Super Giants can still reach 14 points, but because of their negative run rate, it is highly likely they won’t make it to the next round.
