Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Mumbai Indians (MI) will lock horns against each other in the Eliminator of IPL 2023. This is a knockout fixture while the winner will face Gujarat Titans in the second qualifier. Both LSG and MI met each other just over a week ago this season. LSG won that encounter by just five runs and overall, have a 3-0 lead in the head to head. It will be interesting to see if the five-time champions will be able to pull one back. Before all the action begins, here’s everything you need to know about the venue of the match – MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.
Pitch Report – GT vs CSK
A lot has changed at the Cheopauk ever since the opening match of IPL 2023 was played. It started as a flat track with scores over 200 being easily scored and once chased as well. But as the season has progressed, the slow bowlers have come into the action more. Even in the first qualifier, CSK defended 172 runs against table-toppers GT.
Will Toss Matter?
Prediction of dew becomes important in this case. GT opted to bowl first aniticipating dew in the second innings. It did come but in the last five overs and by then, GT had lost their plot in the chase and spinners had done their job. Looking at what happened in the Qualifier 1, the team winning the toss is expected to bat first.
