23:41 (IST)

That's all we have for you from this game. We're nearing towards the end of IPL 2023, with just two games to go. Mumbai Indians will take on Gujarat Titans in Ahmedamad on Friday, but who will join Chennai Super Kings in Sunday's final? We will be back with coverage of that. Until then, this is Vishnu signing off. Goodbye!

23:23 (IST)

GAME OVER! And in a perfect fashion! Akash Madhwal, who was unheard of before this IPL season, is making waves towards the end of the tournament this season. He had picked up three wickets against GT a couple of weeks back, and now finishes with figures of 5/5 in a playoff game. Simply scintillating from the 29-year-old.

Mohsin Khan is the last to depart, who is cleaned up by Akash. MI beat LSG by 81 runs, to setup the Qualifer 2 clash against GT in Ahmedabad on Friday.

23:10 (IST)

OUT! Third LSG run-out this match already. The Lucknow team management won't be happy with this. Deepak Hooda is the latest to make the long walk back after a terrible mix-up with Naveen-ul-Haq. Hooda run out (Green/Akash Madhwal/Rohit) 15

23:07 (IST)

22:53 (IST)

OUT! A terrible mix-up between Stoinis and Deepak Hooda, and while the duo completed their first run, both batters eventually ran into each other, and Stoinis, looking to make his way back towards the strikers' end, fell well short of safety, courtesy a fine throw from Tim David at long-on. Stoinis run out (Tim David/Ishan Kishan) 40

22:41 (IST)

22:22 (IST)

After 7 overs,Lucknow Super Giants 65/2 ( Krunal Pandya (C) 7 , Marcus Stoinis 33)

Powerplay is complete. Piyush Chawla is into the attack for the first time tonight. Stoinis collects a boundary, with Green at deep point running and diving to his left to save the boundary. Replays show that Green has pulled the ball back inside, but after several replays, the third umpire rules in favour of Stoinis. Green is however displeased with the verdict. Probably the foot was touching the boundary cushion when Green had the ball in his hand.

22:05 (IST)

OUT! Kyle Mayers falls victim to Chris Jordan. The West Indian dispatches it to Cameron Green at mid-on, who completes the catch. Mayers c Green b Jordan 18

21:45 (IST)

After 1 overs,Lucknow Super Giants 10/0 ( Kyle Mayers 9 , Prerak Mankad 1)

Time for the chase now. Yash Thakur makes way for Kyle Mayers, who comes in as Impact Sub. Prerak Mankad is his partner. Jason Behrendorff opens the bowling for MI. The Aussie starts off with two dots before Mayers goes high over the slip fielders to collect a boundary. Mayers collects another four in the next ball, slotting between slip and backward point for it.

21:34 (IST)

After 20 overs,Mumbai Indians 182/8 ( Hrithik Shokeen 0 , )

Nehal Wadhera's 12-ball 23 might have saved MI from the blushes as they post 182/8. 14 runs from the last over bowled by Yash Thakur, who removes Wadhera off the last ball. LSG need 183 runs to win.

21:31 (IST)

OUT! Yash Thakur strikes again, getting rid of Nehal Wadhera who departs after an exciting cameo of 23 off 12 balls. Nehal Wadhera c Ravi Bishnoi b Yash Thakur 23

Naveen-ul-Haq is in for his penultimate over. Naveen has enjoyed a fine spell so far, but he concedes a six in this over. Tilak Varma got the maximum on this occassion, playing the pull-sweep over deep backward square leg. 10 off the over.

20:42 (IST)

After 14 overs,Mumbai Indians 126/4 ( Tilak Varma 16 , Tim David 6)

MI seem to be in a spot of bother after the wickets of SKY and Cam Green. And it will be key for Tilak Varma and Tim David to bat sensibly, and take MI to a good, challenging total. Just five off Yash Thakur's second over.

20:30 (IST)

After 11 overs,Mumbai Indians 105/4 ( Tilak Varma 1 , Tim David 0)

Naveen-ul-Haq strikes twice in the same over to remove Suryakumar Yadav and Cameron Green. MI are four down at the moment, with two of their in-form batters out. LSG will feel relieved now.

20:18 (IST)

After 10 overs,Mumbai Indians 98/2 ( Cameron Green 41 , Suryakumar Yadav 27)

14 runs come off Mohsin Khan's second over, with Suryakumar bringing up the 50-run stand between him and Green with a maximum. Bishnoi continues in the next over, and goes for nine runs.

20:11 (IST)

After 8 overs,Mumbai Indians 75/2 ( Cameron Green 32 , Suryakumar Yadav 13)

Ravi Bishnoi into the attack. Just five runs come off the over. In the second ball, Suryakumar Yadav collects a couple of runs following a top edge off the bat that beats the fielder at short fine leg.

20:03 (IST)

After 7 overs,Mumbai Indians 70/2 ( Cameron Green 30 , Suryakumar Yadav 10)

Krunal Pandya completes his third over, and it's an expensive one. MI have lost both openers in Rohit and Kishan, and it's now upto Suryakumar and Green to build a strong stand.

20:01 (IST)

OUT! Yash Thakur strikes, getting rid of Ishan Kishan as both MI openers are back in the hut. Edged and taken by Nicholas Pooran. Ishan Kishan c Pooran b Yash Thakur 15

19:45 (IST)

OUT! Breakthrough for LSG as Naveen-ul-Haq removes Rohit Sharma. Rohit had got off to a promising start, but has given away his wicket while lofting it over cover. Rohit does not get the desired elevation, and is caught by Ayush Badoni at cover. Rohit c Ayush Badoni b Naveen-ul-Haq 11

19:40 (IST)

After 3 overs, MI 29/0

Krunal returns to bowl the third over of the contest. Rohit punishes him for a six and a four off the first two deliveries. An expensive over with 16 runs coming off it.

19:34 (IST)

After 1 over, MI 5/0

Right. Time for LIVE action. Krunal Pandya with the ball first up for LSG. MI's regular opening partners Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan will open MI's innings, with Kishan on strike. Kishan collects a boundary off the first ball, playing a late cut through backward point. Five off the over.
