In IPL 2023, the knockout round is going to start from today. Whichever team will lose in the match today, its journey will end this season. It is going to start with the eliminator between Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians. In the eliminator match of the IPL to be held in Chepauk, Chennai on Wednesday, the league's most successful team Mumbai and the teams of Lucknow, who have reached the playoffs for the second time in a row, will be face to face. Captain Rohit Sharma's team Mumbai Indians has won the maximum five titles in the IPL, but their performance this season has been fluctuating. The eliminator match will start at 7:30 pm, while the toss will take place half an hour before that i.e. at 7 pm.
Captain Krunal Pandya's team understands the pain of being eliminated from the Lucknow Eliminator and the team would like to avoid last year's mistake. Lucknow was out of the league last year as well after losing in the eliminator. However, his performance this season has not been much better than Mumbai's. Both had eight wins each and Lucknow finished third with one point more than Mumbai.
Both will clash for the first time in Chepauk
Both teams will clash for the first time at the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai. However, the Lucknow team has not lost to Mumbai in the league. The Lucknow side has won their last three matches against Mumbai and will look to maintain their target by registering their fourth win in a row. Mumbai's performance in the Eliminator has been poor. He has played three eliminator matches and out of three he has lost two and drawn one.
The loser will be out
The team that loses in this eliminator match will be out of the season. The winning team will have to play one more match to reach the final. The losing team of Qualifier-1 will play against the winning team of Eliminator in Qualifier-2 and the winner of this match will reach the final. Gujarat Titans had to face defeat against Chennai Super Kings in Qualifier-1. In such a situation, Gujarat will now have to play Qualifier-2. The winning team from Lucknow and Mumbai will play Qualifier-2. The journey of the losing team will end here.
