The total was below par and LSG comfortably chased it winning by 4 wickets. Marcus Stoinis played another good hand at number 3 scoring a fine half-century and taking home the Player Of The Match trophy. You can follow the highlights of the LSG vs MI, IPL 2024 match right here. (Scorecard)

Marcus Stoinis starts for LSG and he has bowled a good first over giving away just two runs. Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan both are looking for a big one today in Lucknow.

MI in deep trouble!

Naveen Ul Haq has dismissed MI skipper Hardik Pandya for a Golden Duck and MI are in deep trouble now. They have already lost Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma.

A big test awaits for the left-handed duo of Nehal Wadhera and Ishan Kishan who are in the middle.

Kishan, Wadhera rebuilt

Ishan Kishan is leading MI's fightback alongside Nehal Wadhera after the big guns in the top order failed. However, the run rate still remains below 6 and one of these batters will look to go big soon.

100 up for MI!

Nehal Wadhera is batting beautifully and has taken MI over 100 with Tim David alongside him. A total of above 150 will be the least MI will be aiming for now.

Earlier, Ravi Bishnoi broke the 53-run stand between Ishan Kishan and Wadhera by dismissing Kishan for 32.

Tim David hits 17 in last over

A strong last over from Tim David has taken MI to 144/7 in their 20 overs. The Mumbai side were four down within the powerplay but Ishan Kishan and Nehal Wadhera then did well to stop the flow of wickets. Wadhera got a good 46 and David finished on a high with an unbeaten 18-ball 35.

While bowling his 4th and the 19th over of the innings, Mayank Yadav could only bowl one ball and then pulled out. Yadav then left the field and was seen walking back with the physio.

Arshin gone for Golden Duck on debut!

Arshin Kulkarni's debut did not go as expected as Nuwan Thusara

Stoinis counterattacks

Marcus Stoinis is batting on 25 from 16 balls and has kept LSG ahead in the game even as skipper KL Rahul has taken the defensive mode.

LSG need 54 off 48 balls

Marcus Stoinis is closing in on his half-century as he is again playing a starring role in LSG's chase today. Stoinis has kept the boundaries coming and not let the wicket of skipper KL Rahul affect the game.

LSG need 23 off 24 balls

Marcus Stoinis' 62 has put LSG on the front foot as the win now looks almost sealed. MI will need a miracle if they want to make a return in this game from here on.

Nicholas Pooran is still on the crease and LSG would like to finish this within next 12 balls.

LSG win by 4 wickets!

"Think losing early wickets is tough to recover from and that's what we couldn't do it (recover) today. You still have to see the ball and hit. We just missed those balls and got out, that has been the kind of season we have had so far. I have always believed that you will be up and you'll be up, just that you got to give it your all. A lot of things to learn from this game."

"Our bowlers did well and put pressure on them. Always happy when you get those two points. We need to gain momentum in the back end of the tournament and the momentum helps. I haven't spoken to Mayank much. He had some pain in his sides. He said thoda dukh raha hai. So, I asked him to go out. He is useful for us. We need to take care of him. He bowled wide yorkers and slower bumpers today which was good to see. We are giving him a free hand."

 "Nice to bowl with the new ball. Nice role. I didn't expect to bowl three in the powerplay. Thought the wicket was okay. We could have pushed the envelope and scored faster. But it is a little tricky."

Sixth win for the LSG and MI's seventh defeat. While the play-off door is still wide open for LSG, it is now almost closed for MI.

That was it from our side today. Thank you for following us... Good Night!
