MI and LSG go head to head in match 67 of IPL 2024 in Mumbai on Friday, May 17. This is the last league game for both teams and a must-win game for Lucknow Super Giants. They lost to DC by 19 runs on Wednesday that has almost killed their chances of making the playoffs.

LSG won the previous match against MI in Lucknow by 4 wickets on April 30 and needs to win this match as well to stay alive in the playoffs race. LSG have kept themselves alive with a win over DC in Delhi. Now a win against Mumbai Indians should see them through to the playoffs.

Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, have already been eliminated from the tournament. They along with PBKS and GT are the three teams eliminated so far this season.

They can play spoilsport in MSG's campaign. Nothing has gone right for MI as a franchise so far and they would like to win and end their campaign on a high.

MI's back-to-back losses to KKR, a team which they dominated in the IPL in the past spoke a lot about their mentality this season. After this game, the players selected from MI need to focus on the T20 World Cup 2024. Rohit Sharma who will lead the side has been on a lean patch in the second half of the season. So has been Hardik Pandya and SKY off late.

A lot has happened since LSG's loss to SRH in the last match. There are reports that the LSG owners might not retain KL Rahul for the next season and he might not lead the side in the last couple of games. He has two centuries in the IPL against MI.
