Mumbai Indians are staring at a big win against Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL 2023 Eliminator at Chepauk on Wednesday. Akash Madhwal, who has so far scalped four wickets, along with some poor running between the wickets have put Lucknow far behind in the 183 chase. Earlier, a late blitz by Nehal Wadhera, who scored 23 off 12, helped Mumbai Indians pile a challenging 182/8 in 20 overs. Mumbai, who opted to bat, lost Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan early but the pair of Suryakumar Yadav and Cameron Green kept the team on track. The pair added 66 runs for the third wicket before Naveen-ul-Haq crashed Mumbai’s party and removed the duo in the 11th over. The Afghan pacer scalped four wickets, while Yash Thakur scalped three.
