MA Chidambaram Stadium
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Mumbai Indians (MI) will face each other in the IPL 2023 Eliminator. It is a knockout match while the winner will face Gujarat Titans in the second qualifier. Both LSG and MI faced each other just a week ago this season. LSG won that match by just five runs. Looking at the head to head statistics of both teams, the Lucknow team is ahead by 3-0. It will be interesting to see if the five-time champions return in this match. This match between the two teams will be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Before the start of this match, let’s take a look at the court here.
Field Report – MA Chidambaram Stadium
The pitch here has changed a lot since the first matches played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in IPL 2023. More than 200 scores have been taken on this pitch since the start of the tournament. Along with this, the score of 200+ was also chased. But as the season has progressed, the slower bowlers have gotten more into the action. Also in the first qualifier, CSK defended 172 against the leading GT. In such a situation, there will not be much expectation of total in today’s match.
Will the draw become the boss?
In launch cases, spray estimation becomes important. GT decided to pitch first in view of the possibility of dew in the second inning. But the dew came in the last five overs and by then GT had lost their way in the chase and the spinners had done their job. Based on what happened in Qualifier 1, the team that wins the toss is expected to bat first.
