Mumbai Indians opted to field first after winning against LSG in the crucial match of IPL. It is very important for both of them to win this match today. Because today's match will depend a lot on who will ultimately qualify for the playoffs. I am not saying that the team that loses between the two teams will be eliminated from the playoffs but the team that loses this match today will have to wait for the playoffs with many equations. Maybe no team will want to match so many equations, with today's victory, both teams will want to secure their place for the playoffs.
