Eliminator- LSG vs MI: Last Match Scorecard & Top 3 Best Performers

5-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians defeated Lucknow Super Giants in what was a humiliating 81-run defeat at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Wednesday, 24th May. MI had won the toss and had decided to bat first, which was certainly the right decision as the pitch at Chepauk supports the side that bats first. Batting first, MI set up a very convincing total of 182 for LSG to chase. 

Wickets started falling left, right and centre for LSG as they were restricted to a mere 101 in 16.3 overs by MI. The Giants lost all of their batsmen at just 101 with as many as 21 balls remaining. It was a bitter defeat for the Giants who got knocked out by MI in quite a harsh manner. MI’s bowlers were on absolute fire last night. So without further delay, let’s take a look at the top 3 best performers from last night’s match between MI and LSG.
