The season has witnessed an intense rivalry between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Lucknow Super Giants but they'll be Lucknow's biggest supporter tonight. 

A win for Lucknow will prevent Mumbai from reaching 18 points, handing RCB a chance to reach 16 points and challenge MI for the play-offs berth. 

One side is 75 metres and the other is 61 metres. Straight it is 78 metres. 

Longest boundary from the pavilion end is the long-off boundary which is 81 metres.

Marcus Stoinis, who scored an explosive 25-ball 40, has a fantastic record against Chris Jordan. The all-rounder has never been dismissed by Jordan in this format and has scored 125 runs in 52 balls against him. 

So just in case if MI plan to use Jordan in the death overs, LSG should tweak their batting combination accordingly.

MI's recent success can be contributed to their batters, who have made chasing 200-plus look very simple. However, the conditions in Lucknow will be different as the action switches from flat and fast tracks to slow turners. 

MI had recently struggled at Chepauk and could only add 139/8 in 20 overs. CSK chased down the target with 14 balls to spare and won the match by six runs.

Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians have met twice and this will be the first clash between the two in this edition. 

Lucknow had defeated their opponent on both occasion with KL Rahul smashing tons in both the contest. However, he won't be a part of the proceedings tonight.

Quinton de Kock and Kyle Mayers have ensured things remain as it is as the pair added 88 for the opening stand in the clash against Gujarat Titans. 

However, in the previous encounter against Sunrisers both De Kock and Mayers struggle to get going. Mayers managed just two in 14 deliveries, while De Kock scored 29 in 19 balls.

They will hope for an improved show today against Mumbai Indians.

The pacers have been slightly expensive especially Avesh Khan, who has an economy rate of 9.75 after nine games. 

KL Rahul's injury has also forced the team to make tweaks at top, with Quinton de Kock coming in. His inclusion has hurt LSG in bowling as they have been forced to drop Naveen-ul-Haq to manage four overseas players rule.

With Lucknow's track heavily assisting spin, the home side seems to have an upper hand with three spinners available in their camp. 

Leggie Ravi Bishnoi has been the leading wicket taker for LSG and stand-in captain Krunal Pandya too has showcased his potential. The all-rounder has scalped 8 wickets. 

Amit Mishra has provided the team with a great option as Impact Substitute. Mishra too has seven wickets from the same number of matches.

Meanwhile, Piyush Chawla has been exceptional on the bowling front and he will play a crucial role in Lucknow. He is currently the leading wicket-taker in the MI camp with 19 scalps under his name from 12 encounters.

He has leaked 357 runs in the 47 overs he has bowled in the tournament.

Tilak Varma's absence hasn't hurt Mumbai Indians much as Nehal Wadera has done the bulk of scoring in the middle overs and the team will need it the most in Lucknow, which has been a low-scoring venue. 

Wadhera has so far managed 198 runs from seven innings at an average of 33. He has a strike-rate of 151.14, and has two half-centuries under his name.

After starting the tournament on a slow note, Suryakumar Yadav is back to his breathtaking best. He played a huge role in Mumbai Indians' last two wins.

In the match against Gujarat, SKY produced an unbeaten knock of 103 off 49 balls. In the match against RCB, Suryakumar had scored 83 in just 35 balls.
