Having won five out of six matches, LSG are way ahead of Mumbai Indians in head-to-head, but the Hardik Pandya-led team will be buoyed by their win over KKR at home in their quest to clinch first IPL-18 away game today

Having lost both their away games, Mumbai Indians will aim to make amends when they take on Lucknow Super Giants at the Ekana Stadium on Friday night. MI are historically known for slow starts and waking up when things get desperate. Of course, these are early days in the IPL season, and things have not reached the desperation point. Yet, the quicker the five-time champions get into the rhythm, the better it will be for them in their bid to add another title to their impressive collection. MI have come to Lucknow after subduing Kolkata Knight Riders in Mumbai on Monday.
