LSG skipper KL Rahul won the toss and chose to bowl where MI put up a score of 145 on board for LSG. With the help of Marcus Stoinis' extraordinary batting, LSG won the match at their home. MI's batting lineup failed to perform against the bowlers of LSG. Ishan Kishan and Nehal Wadhera scored 32 and 46 runs respectively. 

On the other hand, LSG made a great start as they made 57 in 7 overs. Skipper and in-form batter KL Rahul unfortunately could not score in the match against Mumbai Indians. However, when Marcus Stoinis came into bat, he hit boundaries and helped LSG reach 116 runs in 15 overs. It was not a difficult target to chase for LSG as in this season we have seen the teams put up a target of 200+ runs on board which also gets chased by the second team.
