On Tuesday, Lucknow Super Giants bolstered their playoff aspirations with a tense four-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2024 clash held in Lucknow. Marcus Stoinis showcased a composed fifty, complementing the splendid bowling effort of his team.
Mumbai Indians struggled with their top-order, managing a below-par total of 144 for seven, with notable contributions from Nehal Wadhera (46), Ishan Kishan (32), and Tim David (35 not out).
