Mumbai Indians vs Lucknow Super Giants IPL Match Today: Struggling Mumbai Indians (MI) will be looking to end their terrible season with a win at their home in Wankhede when they will lock horns against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Friday.
While Mumbai Indians were knocked out of the playoffs race long ago, Lucknow Super Giant’s chances of making the last-four are extremely bleak even if they win their last IPL game here by a huge margin.
